Bright Side Theme Song In the Works... I NEED YOUR HELP!

by Eutychus on Sep 22, 2011 1:32 PM MST

I was thinking, everything that is amazing has it's own theme song.

Bonanza had a theme song. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had a theme song. Sesame Street has a theme song. M.A.S.H, Mario Bros, Klondike Bars, MMA Fighters, Monday Night Football, Sailor Moon... anyways you get the point.

Follow this logic.

Everything amazing has a theme song.

Bright Side of the Sun is amazing.

Therefore: Bright Side of the Sun MUST have a theme song.

I'm going to make it, BUT I NEED YOUR HELP! Jump it fools, and see how.

Consider the following not so much a #humblebrag, but more of an assurance that the theme song won't be too painful on your ear lobes -

I can sing (I was once cast as Joseph in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat).

I can play the guitar and have played professionally (for money, I think that's what that means).

Hip hop is my forte - I'm currently working on a mixtape set to release before Christmas. Here's a sample of a track called "Drone" from that mixtape.

Drone Sample LEILAND -

I'm versatile and can do just about anything though - I even could sing in Spanish if needed... So here's where you guys come in. I'm going to list a few questions and I want ALL OF YOU, YES, EVEN YOU Mr. Long-time reader who has never commented ever before, to answer them in the comment section below. I'm going to take all of your input into consideration.

What genre should the BSotS Theme song be? (Hip hop, Country Western, Fusion, Rock, Dubstep, Death Metal, Cowbell-Only, etc...)
What things (People, places, sayings, etc.) should be included in the lyrics? (if lyrics are needed and you don't all choose an instrumental theme song)
What tone should the theme song reflect? (Bright and happy, mellow and chillaxilated, Bangin' and serious, Dark and emotional, crisp and fast-flowing, Melodic and grungy, Rebecca Black-esque, etc. If it helps you in choosing a tone, just list a band or an artist who you think the tone should sound like)
How long do you want your theme song to be? (a minute long = 1 verse, 2-4 minutes = full song with a chorus and errrything, ~~EPIC 3 Disc Box-Set~~)
What else? (write anything else that comes to your mind pertaining to the song)

So there's your assignment - Everyone who comments should have a post that looks similar to this(Don't copy me, this is just an example).

Great Idea... I can't wait post the song to my Facebook wall for all my friends to see

1. Rap

2. Make sure you mention how much we hate the Blazersedge... on and give a shout-out to Wil!

3. Crisp and fast-flowing... like Tech N9Ne or Twista... but only your whiter version of them.

4. I think 2-3 minutes is great, make sure the chorus is tight yo, something catchy that incorporates Steve Nash

5. Please make it downloadable so I can put that bad-boy in my IPod and bench press to your sexy voice Euty!

Once You've left a comment like that - then carry on and comment as normal.

Alright fools - help me out and let's get the brainstorming rolling!

haha it was a joke

carried over from the other post… but honestly I don’t know if my opinion would be a good one. I listen to a lot of stuff you’ll never hear on the radio. I liked your Atmosphere toss out there though, great music. “Til the Nipples Gone” would make a BA theme song.

Insert Witty Comment Here

1. Hip Hopish

2. Stuff about the Suns or our nice and cool city here in Phoenix?

3. Bangin’ and serious

4. Long enough, but not too short, that just right amount of longness where you are like “Yeah that was good, I’m glad it wasn’t any longer.”

5. Maybe trying to incorporate some samples from these songs into the beat somehow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb_zV5_EAF8

Maybe even some good old Al McCoy samples

1. Mariachi

2. Could be cool to get some lyrics from some of the better linguists we have here (SNQP, Jim C, 2Nashty)

3. Light and funny.

4. 2 min 19 seconds

5. Soundcloud that shiz so we can try a different type of commenting.

Yeaaaaaah here we go

1 The beat from I got 5 on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEcoTRhSjU . We can call the song “We got Suns on it”

2 some verses about the Suns players, some lines about BSOTS, some disses against other teams

3 Original Gangster with the G-funk flavour

4 4 minutes

5 We need a video clip too!

Alea iacta est!

1. Anything I can dance to (and not square dancing. i refuse to have BSOTS associated with country). And I dont really dance, i just kind of thrust and bite my lip

2. Straight up PHX-bonus points for mentions of “Madhouse on Mcdowell,” Nash’s hairy chest, Sarver being cheap, and anything that rhymes with Jake Tsakalidis

3. Best to go chillaxed. Although I’m tempted to go Dark and Melancholy to reflect the state of our beloved

4. I think if you go more than a few minutes people will tune out. Unless your chorus is cool, you know like a BEAT LA type of chant, or if you are THAT GOOD of a musician, Euts.

If you need help with lyrics, let me know. A lot of things rhyme with Stern. Like Burn.

Good Luck!

1. Pop/hip hop/rap
2. Shazam, heartbreak hotel, purple palace, etc. – catch phrases and lingo specifically linked to the Suns.
3. Ebullient and energetic – think intro suitable for the Suns taking the floor for game 7 of the NBA Finals.
4. Seven ~~seconds~~ verses or less… Time doesn’t matter (under 3 minutes probably). Maybe 2-3 verses and a chorus.
5. Do a good job.

1) Spanglish Rap (No clue what that is, but it sounds cool)

2) Half the song should be dedicated to Steve Nash and Charles Barkley. Don’t forget Shaq. Then, we can tweet the song to them and see what they think.

3) A rap theme? Happy is always good, but keep the beat going. Don’t make it too slow.

4) Full song is best.

5) Good luck on this, and don’t forget Steve Nash. In fact, an entire song with just the lyrics “Steve Nash is awesome” could win a grammy.

4. 2-3 min
5. We need to smash all the wack laker songs that are out there.

Just do your thing, Euty, and it'll be great.

Personally, I’m not much into the hippity and the hoppity that many of today’s kids like, with the baggy pants and the crooked baseball caps with the unbent brims and whatnot, ever since I found out that Dr. Dre isn’t actually a physician, nor is he a PhD. I felt so misled. I also grew disillusioned when I learned that Snoop Diggity Dog isn’t affiliated with the beloved Charles Schulz Peanuts characters.

But hey, to each his own. Can’t wait to hear what you come up with!

How about a polka?!?

A Weird Al-esque job kinda like Al-buquerque that goes on for half an hour about jelly donuts and a box of weasels, but instead this would be about tight ol’ Sarver trying to replace Stoudemire with three midgets in an trenchcoat!

Haha awesome suggestions

Keep commenting with things that should be mentioned – I will most definitely be throwing in some Tsakalidis and some madhouse refs.

Bright and happy, mellow and chillaxilated, Bangin’ and serious, Dark and emotional, crisp and fast-flowing, Melodic and grungy, Rebecca Black-esque, etc

All of this. That’s the only way to accurately capture the essence of BSotS.

And I’ll be OK with anything but country. NO country. None. Not even a little bit.
