Watch: Viral song labels Trump a 'megalomaniac Republican'

A song titled “Gimme Hope Kamala” by the Marsh Family, is going viral, racking up nearly 1.4 million views on YouTube. This viral hit has sparked lively discussions on X, drawing attention not just for its upbeat melody but also for the surprising fact that the Marsh Family hails from the UK, not the U.S. 

The song boldly critiques Donald Trump, opening with the lines that when he was in charge, he “sowed division and tried to build a wall.” It goes on to claim that he “made a few of his people wealthy” while disregarding the rest, even going as far as to say he “did the nasty.” The lyrics don’t hold back, labeling him an “oppressor of civil liberties” and a “megalomaniac Republican” who “undermined the Constitution.”

As the tune shifts, it calls out for “Gimme hope Kamala,” painting her in a much more favorable light with lines like “She’ll try to regulate the sale of guns” and “ensure access to healthcare and abortion.” 

The Marsh Family even declares, “Don’t want a President of the USA who’s dangerous to everyone!”

The song draws inspiration from Eddy Grant's iconic “Gimme Hope Jo'Anna,” originally released in 1988, which addressed international politics during the Apartheid era in South Africa.

Regardless of your political leanings in the U.S. presidential elections, there’s no denying this catchy tune is a total bop!

In comments, reactions varied: one user remarked, “Amazing how many foreigners support Harris! Wonder why??”

Another commenter suggested, “Maybe they should put their hope in something other than a politician and government? This is cultist behavior. Politicians are literally just people who are supposed to do a job.”
