Best Show theme song question
« 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.

I always assumed it was

Tom Scharpling('s) number one.

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

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

I still have a soft spot for the piano Best Show theme from the early 2000s because it has that clip of Tom saying semi-musically "You're really creepy and I'm hanging up on you" alongside all those other caller clips.

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.

If you play the theme song backwards there's a secret message: AP Mike is dead. Miss him. Miss him.

it might could also be "Top show, Number 1"

but probably not.

Intriguing. This may be it?

I do believe that these are the correct lyrics.
