At the ABC Presidential Debate held on September 10, 2024, former President Donald Trump said a lot of outlandish things.  Baited by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Trump took the bait every time, making for an unhinged yet entertaining television experience.  The most memorable, outlandish, and racist thing Trump uttered was about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets – cats and dogs – in Springfield, Ohio. Rightfully, the former POTUS received criticism from everywhere.  Beyond criticism, the memes, reels, shorts, and TikToks have been abundant.  From frightened cats and dogs hearing the ‘fake news,’ to Gen-Z guys dancing to killer songs remixing Trump’s words, the internet has won. King Willonius gets into action via AI (artificial intelligence, if you’re living under a rock) with his soulful, 1970s-sounding single, “They’re Eating The Dogs”.

AI music isn’t something that typically captures my attention.  As a musician myself, I’m a fan of authentic recordings and live performances.  But I found myself giggling like a schoolgirl listening to “They’re Eating The Dogs.” As shocked as everybody was hearing Trump’s unfounded claims about pets being stolen and eaten, AI storyteller, comedian, and showrunner King Willonius captures it perfectly in this two-minute, old-school-sounding gem.  What makes it sound vintage? It’s the biting, articulated horns, the dusty, soulful groove, the piano and guitar riffs, and the prominent bass line.  The vocals rival the big-voiced, gritty soul icons of old, filled with the blues. “They’re eating the dogs /… They’re eating the cats / What the hell goin’ on? / What the hell’s goin’ on? ” That’s about the size of it.  King Willonius captures our show in the most entertaining way possible.  “They’re Eating The Dogs” = AI gold.
