It’s the new Pet Sounds — literally.The internet is lapping up a catchy new parody song poking fun at former President Donald Trump’s “they’re eating the cats” debate comment — with the music video raking in hundreds of thousands of views Friday.The song, “Eating the Cats” by South African band Kiffness, features an audio clip of Trump’s debunked claim that immigrants are chowing down on pets in Springfield, Ohio — dubbed to a Reggaeton-style beat with hilarious auto-tuned meows and woofs.“They’re eating the dogs/ they’re eating the cats/ they’re eating the pets of the people who live there,” Trump can be heard saying in edited audio as the song kicks off.Lead singer David Scott, who is also a producer and parody artist, then begins crooning as he plays an electric keyboard.“People of Springfield, please don’t eat my cat/ why would you do that / eat something else,” he sings.“People of Springfield, please don’t eat my dog/ here’s a catalog of other things to eat,” he wails — while flashing a sheet of paper with an egg, bread and other foods on it.During the song’s hook, he belts “whoa whoa whoa” and “meow meow meow” as a husky and a cat appear — barking and mewing in auto-tuned harmony.A video of the tune had raked in more than 267,000 views on X Friday — with fans howling with laughter and calling it the purr-fect fall “banger.” It’s “too too, too good,” one listener gushed, while another called it “brilliant.”At the end of the music video, a message pops up declaring that money made from streaming the song will go to the Clark County SPCA, which helps pets in Springfield.On Tuesday, Trump falsely claimed that Haitian migrants are eating dogs and cats in Springfield during his televised debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs.The people that came in, they’re eating the cats.
