Bill Stiteler Pushes Puerto Rico Song Past 3.3 Million TikTok Views
Bill Stiteler’s puerto rico song turned into a fast-moving TikTok hit after he posted it on April 3, drawing more than 3.3 million views. The Pittsburgh-based comedian built it with Suno, then watched it spread far beyond his own account.
April 3 on TikTok
Stiteler posted “The Puerto Rico Song” on Instagram and TikTok, pairing clips from his visit to Puerto Rico’s capital city with lyrics about landing, taking the bus to Caguas and skipping the usual tourist material. The track includes the lines “Immediately was enchanted/The whole plane clapped when we landed/Didn’t wanna do just tourist stuff/So I took the bus to Caguas/It’s a wild place to vacation/Slot machines in the bus station.”
That reach matters because it shows a comedy song can travel as a social clip, not just as a music upload. Stiteler described Suno as “It’s kind of like an auto tuner for lyrics and your voice — you can sing into it, and it can auto tune it into using AI to make music,” and said, “I’m not a musician, I don't know anything about music, but I'm a comedian, and I can write these funny little songs about all my observations.”
Celebrity lip-syncs
Sarah Hyland, Luke Combs and Jennifer Love Hewitt each posted their own videos lip-syncing to the track, while Brian Jordan Alvarez made multiple posts featuring it. Stiteler credited Alvarez with kicking off the trend, which pushed the song from a single post into a wider creator chain.
For a comedian, that kind of amplification is the real business event. It moves the song from a one-off joke into a repeatable format other accounts can use, and it gives the clip a second life beyond Stiteler’s own feed.
Roberto Clemente connection
Stiteler said he visited Puerto Rico and Caguas to see where Roberto Clemente had played baseball in his early 20s, and he said the Pirates did not have a game on the island. The trip fit his larger run of travel videos about lesser-explored places, a lane he said started in Altoona, Pa., after he found Suno.
Stiteler’s own backstory runs through the same period: he said he got sober in late 2023, moved back to Pittsburgh to live with his dad, bought a Pittsburgh Pirates season pass in 2024 and went to 18 different cities following the team on the road. That sequence helps explain why this song landed; he is turning travel, baseball and comedy into the same content engine, and this post is the strongest proof yet that the formula can break out well beyond Pittsburgh.
