Jon Huntsman’s daughters are back at it again with their latest stab at drumming up support for their father's struggling campaign with a new YouTube video, cinematically-challenged as it may be.

The trio – who have dubbed themselves the Jon2012girls – spoofed Herman Cain’s "smoking" ad (which already started out dangerously close to a spoof itself) earlier in the campaign season. Their latest video is a political parody of Justin Timberlake’s "SexyBack."

It includes such lyrical gems as: "We're bringing Huntsman back/ We're right behind the guy who's right on track/ He rocks the awesome China policy/ The governor who stands for sanity."

And: "Herman Cain/ We like your pizza but you can’t explain/ How 9-9-9 will get us back in shape/ So pass the pizza and we won’t complain."

If those two examples somehow left you wanting more of the Huntsman girls' song-writing skills, you can watch and listen to the whole thing below:
