Though the holiday season may still be several weeks away (looking at you, Target decor section) one elderly man decided to get in on the spirit of caroling a little early, serenading a random homeowner with a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” after escaping his assisted living facility.


Over the weekend, @big_bodyjacob headed to TikTok with a Ring camera clip depicting the patriotic performance, one complete with Obama-esque fist-pumping, hitting the high note in the penultimate line and of course, a resounding “God bless America” punctuating the final note.

“That was awesome, man,” @big_bodyjacob told the fugitive singer, noting in the caption that although the man was “a little confused,” he still “got the spirit.”


Though it’s unclear how exactly the man escaped and whether he returned to the land of prune juice and Bingo tournaments, only one question truly remains: As Redditor u//DaMain-Man captioned a version of the clip shared to r/PublicFreakout, “Which senator is this?”
