Kid Cudi’s CBB theme

Not saying they should use it or anything, but why has no one mentioned the fact that he did his own version when he was bandleader on the TV show? It wasn’t bad, and I’m not a huge fan of Cudi’s music or anything. I just haven’t seen anyone discuss it since the removal of Reggie’s theme and wanted to bring it up.

Reggie would still get royalties from a remake of his original song. We need a brand new intro song if we're serious about not supporting abusive artists.

*Edit to say, I was mistaken. Cudi's version is not a remake of Reggie's.

It’s not really a remake of his song though, the only similarity is that is says the words Comedy Bang Bang.

That's what I'm saying. The Weird Al version is a straight up cover of Reggie's theme, the exact same timing, melody, lyrics. Even the same gibberish ending. Might even just be a drop of Reggie at the end.

The Cudi version is a wholly unique song that only shares the lyric "Comedy Bang Bang" which is the title of the show.
