The first Republican primary debate this week featured the viral song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” currently topping the Billboard 100 and iTunes charts.

“As we sit here tonight [Wednesday], the No. 1 song on the Billboard chart is called ‘Rich Men North of Richmond.’ It is by a singer from Farmville, Virginia, named Oliver Anthony. His lyrics speak of alienation, a deep frustration with the state of government and this country,” co-moderator Martha MacCallum said.

“Washington D.C. is about 100 miles north of Richmond,” MacCallum continued. “Why is this song striking such a nerve in this country right now?”
