It's unlikely Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon's parody track "Gov. Chris Christie Traffic Jam" will get air time on the Rush Limbaugh radio show.

The conservative radio host ripped Springsteen — describing him as "a low-rent character" — for mocking Gov. Chris Christie on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday night.

"You are only a friend of a Democrat for as long as they can use you," Limbaugh said.

Springsteen performed a revamped version of "Born to Run" alongside Fallon. The lyrics of the remixed track, "Gov. Christie Traffic Jam," mocked the governor's apology last week to the people of New Jersey and the subsequent denial of his involvement in the George Washington Bridge scandal. As of this morning, the parody video had more than 2 million views on YouTube.

The song blamed Christie for the four-day lane closures on the world's most heavily trafficked bridge, in what some believe was political payback against the Fort Lee mayor, a Democrat, who did not support Christie in his gubernatorial re-election bid.

"The press conference went on and on," Springsteen sang in reference to Christie's nearly two-hour long apology last week. "It was longer than one of my own damn shows."

Christie has been candid of his admiration for Springsteen and has attended more than 125 of his shows.



Though Springsteen appears unmoved by Christie's apology, Limbaugh was.

"Christie has publicly said he didn't have anything to do with (the bridge scandal)," Limbaugh said. "He's apologized, he's done all the right things — and here is the guy who brought him to tears by talking to him, making fun of him on a late-night comedy show."

"That is really ... You talk about a low-rent character?" Limbaugh concluded.
