I rewatched the 90s comedy Fear of a Black Hat. In the movie, there are a lot of parody music videos and this is one of them. This is clearly a parody of C&C Music Factory with a little Marky Mark and Soul 2 Soul. The best part is the Asian woman singing the powerful black woman part. That is an inside/side joke that gets paid off later in the movie. The reference is to Martha Wash, an uncredited heavy-set black woman that the group replaced with an attractive woman. Wash would sue and win credit for the song via a settlement. This song was fully recorded as a full track.
It is too easy to make a Trump joke, and it has been done in the comments.
Side note: CB4 and Fear of a Black Hat have a lot of similarities. They came out a year apart, so they were being filmed at the same time.
