That’s My Bush! Lyrics

He’s the president in resident He’s kind of in charge He’s got the whole world saying “That’s my Bush!” Life is hard, that’s the price of fame When you’re President, everyone knows your name (Hey, what’s happ’nin’?) It’s my Bush! I can’t believe he’s actually in the White House That’s our man! That’s my Bush!

Official Opening Theme

Sitcom Tropes in the Oval Office

That’s My Bush! was a short-lived but highly influential live-action satire created by the minds behind South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Rather than focusing solely on political policy, the show was a “satire of a satire.” It used the setting of the George W. Bush presidency to parody the clichés and tropes of 1980s and 90s family sitcoms, complete with a wacky neighbor, canned laughter, and overly enthusiastic theme music.

The theme song itself is a perfect example of this parody. It features the bright, cheesy pop-rock sound typical of shows like Full House or Family Matters, juxtaposed with the absurdity of having the leader of the free world as a sitcom protagonist. Despite strong ratings, the show was canceled after only eight episodes due to the high production costs—ironically making it more expensive to produce than its animated counterpart, South Park.

Presidential FAQ

Why did the show only last 8 episodes?
While ratings were actually quite high, each episode cost approximately $700,000 to $1 million to produce. Comedy Central found the budget unsustainable for a live-action series at the time.
Who played George W. Bush?
The President was portrayed by Timothy Bottoms, who would later play the character again in the TV film DC 9/11: Time of Crisis.
Was the show intended to be political?
Parker and Stone have stated the show was less about attacking Bush’s politics and more about mocking the format of television sitcoms. They actually had a version ready for Al Gore in case he had won the 2000 election.
