Title: Best Show theme song question
Post by: JonFromMaplewood on October 09, 2015, 01:37:46 PM: I really love the theme song for the non-WFMU version of the Best Show. Paycheck and crew did an amazing job.

However, I cannot figure out one of the lyrics which is a problem when I am singing along in the car. I mean, it's not a problem on the level of the Assad regime or diabetes, but it's annoying nonetheless.

It's the Best Show
Yeah you know that it's the Best Show
And it'll always be the Best Show
___ ___ number one.
Second to none.

Please help!!!!

Thanks.

Tom Scharpling('s) number one.

While I love this version, I do miss the order to boil some water.

I miss this intro too, so many gems in there! I was sad when it went away, my favorite was hearing Mike Sajak every week.

"I'll say it, you'll hear it, you'll do it, I'll get it, you'll learn it, I'll live with it, and you'll die without it."

"It's a fat, diseased, wild orangutan, isn't it?"

"Tom's still number one" is what I've been singing.

I always heard "Tom's Show's Number One", but this sounds much more correct.

I'll probably still sing my version, though.

Post by: ole_swerdlow on October 19, 2015, 01:40:46 PM: it might could also be "Top show, Number 1"

but probably not.

"Top shelf / Number one"?

Intriguing. This may be it?

"Top shelf / Number one"?

I do believe that these are the correct lyrics.
