The song kicks off with Trump's altered audio saying, "They're eating the dogs/they're eating the cats/they're eating the pets of the people who live there."

Lead singer and producer David Scott then begins singing while playing an electric keyboard, pleading with Springfield residents not to eat his cat and dog, suggesting alternative food options.

Scott sings, "People of Springfield, please don't eat my cat/why would you do that/eat something else," followed by another plea, "People of Springfield, please don't eat my dog/here's a catalog of other things to eat," while holding a sheet of paper displaying pictures of food items like an egg and bread.

The catchy hook features Scott singing "whoa whoa whoa" and "meow meow meow" as a husky and a cat appear on screen, their barks and mews auto-tuned in harmony.

The video has already amassed over 267,000 views on X. Fans have praised it as a hilarious fall "banger" and called it "brilliant."

The video concludes with a message stating that proceeds from streaming the song will be donated to the Clark County SPCA, which helps pets in Springfield.

Fact-Checking Trump's Claim

Trump's false claim about Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats in Springfield was made during a televised debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

ABC News' David Muir fact-checked the statement, reporting that the city's manager had received no credible reports of pets being harmed or abused by the immigrant community.

The parody song not only entertains but also highlights the importance of verifying information before accepting it as truth.

By turning Trump's false claim into a humorous yet catchy tune, Kiffness has managed to engage audiences while shedding light on misinformation.
