A string quartet called Well-Strung recorded the song, called "Chelsea's Mom."

And just like the Fountains of Wayne song it parodies, the chorus of the song is, "Chelsea's mom has got it going on."

But there's one line in particular that seems to be rubbing some people the wrong way.

Here's the video:

 

It started to go viral yesterday, but really blew up once Clinton tweeted it herself.

 

 

Chelsea Clinton is also a fan.

 

But the repeated use of the refrain "she's sexy and she's strong" is prompting some to accuse the band of sexism.

 

 

Still, tweets in support of the video are outnumbering cries of sexism.

Meanwhile, conservative publications seem to be rallying against the song on aesthetic grounds. The National Review summed up their reaction to the video with, "Yeah . . . no. No. No, no, no, no, no, no."

Well-Strung boldly predicts that Hillary will be, "making history, Madame President she'll be."
