Benny Hill had his theme music and now Jill Biden does too
American Thinker ^ | 1/6/2022 | Andrea Widburg

The Washington Examiner has broken what is, so far, the best story of the year: It turns out that Jill Biden has her own “walk-up” music. That is, whenever she makes an official appearance, this music is played for her, just as Hail to the Chief is played when the president appears. Someone within the Marine Corps band wrote it, although there is some dispute as to whether the White House requested such music or the Marine Corps band members spontaneously felt that Jill needed that special song.

Becket Adams broke the story:

The Marine Corps band was instructed last fall to come up with an entrance theme for the first lady, a source told the Washington Examiner. The band now has in its repertoire an original composition titled “Fanfare for the First Lady.” The song, the source said, is essentially Jill Biden's personal “Hail to the Chief,” in that it is to be performed and repeated at official White House functions, from her first appearance until she is ready to speak.

“Fanfare for the First Lady” has created both amusement and confusion within the band, with some remarking that in the many years they’ve played in the group, this is the first time the group has had to provide the first lady with an exclusive entrance theme.

(snip)

Hearing it, one is irresistibly tempted to see if Benny Hill is running around somewhere because, honestly, this must be a joke(snip)

Ultimately, it’s not surprising that both the White House and the Marine Corps band are disavowing ownership of the “Fanfare for the First Lady.” It’s an inappropriate idea and a horribly bad piece of...er, music.

Sounds like the theme to “F Troop”.

Which is kinda appropriate, when you think about it.

What next will she dress old Joe up in a uniform with gaudy fake medals and deck herself out as a Commissar? Bad enough her designer clothes are overaged slut.

Sounds like a bad version of the theme from the old “Wild Wild West” TV show.

Yikes... if you play it backwards, it says Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Sounded like what I’d call “clown music”.

Too bad Spike Jones couldn’t have “tuned it up” a little.

As someone who has played the cornet/trumpet/treble clef baritone since 1984, that is definitely in the top 10 of worst songs/arrangements I’ve ever heard.

Just like a ‘queen’, she needs her own music.

The Clintons had "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow."

Jen Psaki has "Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies."

Joe Biden's music is the theme from Mr. Magoo.
