“Yahoos and Triangles”
“Yahoos and Triangles” is the high-energy, guitar-driven instrumental track that opens every episode.
Performed by the Arizona rock band The Refreshments, the song features a cowbell-heavy beat and surf-rock inspired guitar riffs. It perfectly captures the frenetic yet routine nature of the Hill family’s life, famously accompanying a time-lapse of Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer drinking beer in the alley while the world moves fast around them.
The Iconic Time-Lapse Intro
Propane and Propane Accessories
King of the Hill stands out as a unique piece of American animation. Eschewing the surrealism of The Simpsons or the randomness of Family Guy, it focused on grounded, observational humor. Hank Hill, a staunch conservative salesman of propane, navigates a changing world with his wife Peggy, his son Bobby, and his eccentric neighbors.
The show’s score, managed by a revolving team including Roger Neill and Greg Edmonson, utilizes acoustic guitars and southern-style motifs to maintain the authentic “Texas” feel that fans have loved for over 250 episodes.
