The lyrics of KJ-52's song Infomercial satirically portray the marketing techniques used by salespeople to convince their target audience to buy a product. The song starts with someone asking if one is tired of CDs that don't leave them satisfied and then introduces KJ-52 as the solution to this problem. The singer invites listeners to come down to KJ-52 and promises that their music is funky and fulfilling. The sponsor, Kleesder is also introduced with their humorous tagline of the product being able to "slice" and "dice" things.
The singer then goes on to provide testimonials from customers who have been transformed since listening to KJ-52's music. One of the testimonials is comical, stating that they used to be a cross-eyed, bowlegged, one-armed safety patrolman who has since elevated themselves to crossing guard, attributing their transformation to KJ-52's music. The singer then offers a "mullenator" to people who act now while supplies last. The song concludes with the disclaimer that KJ-52 is not responsible for animal attacks that might happen as a result of getting the mull haircut.
The song cleverly parodies the desperation of infomercials, where people will say almost anything to sell their products, and use gimmicky lines and testimonials. KJ-52 is known for incorporating humor in his music, and this song is no exception.
