There are few television theme songs as instantly ingratiating as that of WKRP In Cincinnati. That sublime little tune, co-written by series creator Hugh Wilson with Tom Wells and originally performed by Steve Carlisle, tells the story of a nomadic radio professional whose experiences have taken him from one city to another. In just a minute, it sets up the premise of WKRP and makes the viewer eager to know what happens to that guy in the song.
If the theme can be used to sell a prime-time sitcom, maybe it can be used to sell a political candidate, too. Bonecage, the creator of “Olive Garden Butthole” and other pop culture-based songs, has done his own version of the WKRP song, this time with lyrics about real-estate mogul and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. The song begins by reaffirming Trump’s commitment to the Second Amendment and keeping America safe from illegal immigrants: “Baby, if you’ve ever wondered / What it’s like to kill a human being / We’ll wall up Mexico and hunt the heathens / Vote for me, I’m T-R-U-M-P.”
