Needless to say, #MakeAmericaBrannigan has been one needed source of comic relief within an alarming U.S. election campaign. But I’m not sure that should be the sole opportunity to mine Futurama for campaign material.

So without any further ado, here’s The Breitbartist Song (sung of course to the tune of The Bureaucrat Song):

Stephen Bannon:
When I was four there was a hurricane in my hometown
Hunkered down with my father and mother
Everyone was alright, but I cried all night
‘Cause there was nothing I could blame on the “others”
And they said this boy’s born to be a Breitbartist
To be bigoted, angry and shoddy
I made my friends and relations show ideological certifications
To get into my tenth birthday party

Kellyanne Conway:
But something changed when we hit the campaign
Bannon:
I was raging, not appreciating
Conway:
He forgot that it’s not about polls and votes
Bannon:
It’s supposed to be about the hating!

People, we didn’t choose to be Breitbartists
No, that’s what Almighty Koch made us
We’d be constantly rude, we’d denigrate and exclude
Even if nobody paid us
They say the world looks down on the Breitbartists
They say we’re ignorant, abrasive and weird
But when push comes to shove, gotta spread the hate that you love
Even if it’s not a good idea

Paul Manafort:
They said I shouldn’t cuddle up with dictators
Donald Trump:
They poo-pooed my call for shooting deserters
Mike Pence:
They said I shouldn’t abuse my state’s LGBTQs
Trump:
My base would let me get away with murder!

Bannon:
Everybody sing – build a wall, kill them all!
All:
Build a wall, kill them all!

Bannon:
Just the Breitbartists!
Breitbartists:
Build a wall, kill them all!

Bannon:
Just the minorities!
(silence)

Bannon:
Sing me home!
When push comes to shove, gotta spread the hate that you love
Even if it’s not a good idea!
