Which song is listed as King of the Hill's opening theme in the revival era?

The story behind the answer

King of the Hill’s opening theme is “Yahoos and Triangles.”

The song is performed by The Refreshments, an Arizona rock band also known for the hit “Banditos.” Its brisk, guitar-driven sound became closely identified with the animated sitcom’s opening sequence, which shows Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer drinking beer in the alley behind Hank’s house.

The original opening uses an accelerated time-lapse effect as Arlen’s residents go about their daily routines. Hank’s friends keep drinking while the recycling bin fills with cans, and the sequence returns to normal speed when Peggy brings out the garbage. Season 14 updates the visuals with a compressed look at the years between the original run and the revival.

A common mistake is choosing another sitcom theme such as “Where Everybody Knows Your Name,” “Boss of Me,” or “Cleveland Rocks.” Those belong to Cheers, Malcolm in the Middle, and The Drew Carey Show, respectively. “Yahoos and Triangles” remains the King of the Hill theme, with the revival also using a new performance by Billy Strings.
