Fiona Apple doesn’t much care for Donald Trump. The notably private singer-songwriter hasn’t released a new album since 2012, but she returned to the spotlight with her fiery “Christmas” song “Trump’s Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire,”

And now, just ahead of the Women’s March on Washington, Apple has unveiled “Tiny Hands”—another powerful song of resistance.

Referencing that infamous Access Hollywood videotape, in which Trump boasts about having committed sexual assault, Apple repeats with conviction “We don’t want your tiny hands/ Anywhere near our underpants.” It’s probably not the cleanest song you’ll find at the march on Saturday, but its deft mix of humor and pointedness is certainly effective and perfect for chanting alongside one's allies. And if Apple’s performance history is any indication, her live rendition could end with the kind of cathartic pushback that many at the march and beyond have been waiting for.

1. Ha! Best chant ever

Sorry, but that is funny. Not exactly of the "if they go low, we go high" order, but the sentiment is real!

2. I love it and hope they pick it up-loud and clear

"Tiny Hands" lead my twisted mind to Don Ho's "Tiny Bubbles" and with apologies to Mr. Ho here is a theme song for the royal 'Rump.

Tiny handsess
on the phone
make me happy
make me tweet so fine.

Tiny handsess
Make them warm
feeling up the skirts
I Love me, I’m so fine

So here’s to the golden loon
and here’s to the gilded me
and mostly here’s a toast
to Putin and to me.

3. For those who want to listen here:

This also goes out to all the other arseholes who want to limit a woman's autonomy over her own body!
