This Is Fantastic – David Cameron Hums A Little Tune To Himself On A Hot Microphone – After Resigning [Video]

David Cameron is almost at the finish line now, and to celebrate he channelled his inner Hugh Grant and went full Brit.

Can you imagine the wave of relief that must surge through your veins as you officially make running Britain someone else’s problem?

It’s the job of Theresa May now, who will be sworn in after everyone else dropped out of the running.

But for one last time let’s just enjoy Cameron and his stiff upper lip, a moment so wonderfully British that it has captured the world’s attention.

First up let’s just see what all the fuss is about:

Then this from AP:

Seconds after the British prime minister finished telling reporters of his intention to step down from office this week, he walked back through the door of his Downing Street residence — and the live microphone he was still wearing caught him in an unguarded musical moment.

“Do doooooooo, do doooo,” he sang to himself, according to the clip sent by BBC reporter Daniel Sandford.

It wasn’t immediately clear what tune Cameron was singing, but the social media world poured forth with often-satirical suggestions. One writer opined that Cameron had just unwittingly revealed the secret “Open Sesame” musical code for the Downing Street door. Another theorized [sic] that it was Cameron’s personal “game over” videogame hook. Some thought they detected a hint of “The West Wing” theme tune.

It’s basically the British equivalent of a mic drop and strut off stage.

Thug life.
