Hillary Clinton loves the 'Chelsea's Mom' song that's going viral - but some are calling it sexist

A cover of "Stacy's Mom" that supports Hillary Clinton is racking up the views this morning after Clinton herself tweeted it last night - but some people are calling it sexist.
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.
I couldn't agree more! Thank you @wellstrungNYC for supporting my mom: http://t.co/g2G5glPfSE

But the repeated use of the refrain "she's sexy and she's strong" is prompting some to accuse the band of sexism.
This is sexist right? https://t.co/Kx3R7XVJyK

I like the "Chelsea's Mom" parody by the Hillary campaign, but hearing "sexy" feels diminishing. Or is it just me? http://t.co/7EiTM8664x

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

Well-Strung boldly predicts that Hillary will be, "making history, Madame President she'll be."
We'll see, but in the meantime we'll definitely have this cover stuck in our heads.
