XCVII. TWiF Theme Songs Keep Rolling In!
February 27th, 2009
We put out the call to all talented bards in the vast TWiF fandom to let fair Euterpe pluck at their heartstrings, record the results, and send their sweet-sounding opuses to Sarah and me for inclusion in the show. And one of these, we declared, would carry the high honor of becoming the official TWiF anthem.
And you heard us, Team TWiF, you heard us and responded as admirably as we knew you would. Your job? Let us know which of the following submissions you like best. Also, there’s still time to submit your own. And finally, we still very much would love to see your graphic submissions, as we feel, even though we both look damn beautiful, the two shot of us in the lower third is a bit distracting. I guess we’re just too beautiful…
Thanks so much for your continued support of TWiF! Join us every Friday at 3pm PST at http://live.twit.tv and please tell your friends. And perhaps most importantly, let Leo know how much you like the show and that you’d love to see a downloadable version as part of the regular TWiT lineup.
This Week In Fun by Dan Leuders

Gabe McG. A vote for anything else is a vote for trash.
February 27th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

February 27th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
The second one (Stewart Peck) is certainly my favorite.

I vote for This Week In Fun by Dan Leuders and Tweet Beat by Pauly Wood.
February 27th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Tweet Beat is Great. I liked both of Pauly Woods submissions. Use the Peck version as the out music. And please tell Leo he would be a fool to not have you guys as a regular show. I always stumble upon it and enjoy the content. (its better than some of the other shows also).
Twit needs a little more fun. =-)
February 27th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Pauly Wood, for both TWiF and Tweet Beat!
February 27th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
A difficult decision indeed, but I am compelled by forces not of this world to vote for Paul Minshall.
February 27th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Gonna have to go with Paulywood, but you had a good idea when you said Stewart Peck’s song is a good show closer.
February 27th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
This is tough because I really enjoyed the Stewart Peck tune but I’d have to say that as far as an opening theme the Dan Leuders track takes the cake.
February 28th, 2009 at 3:23 am
I have to go with Gabe McG, it fits the show perfectly.
February 28th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I like the one by Pauly Wood best. It’s short, upbeat, and sounds professional but not overproduced.
Making reference to poo in the opening music is probably not a good idea if you want to get sponsors.
When Leo and Sarah interviewed Drew Curtis of Fark on Tuesday, he said he moved Fark’s “Boobies” section to a different website because sponsors didn’t want to put ads next to that content. “Poo” is similar. During the show, it can be done right (in context, within reason), but you really don’t want people to think poo when they think TWiF (i.e. as being integral to the TWiF brand).

The Paulywood Tweet Beat theme is excellent.
The Gabe version cracks me up. Love it!
February 28th, 2009 at 10:41 am
GabeMcG… not only should he win because he made this song not to win a contest, not expecting anything in return at all, with no ability, talent or anything redeeming to offer, he made it because he’s a fanatic. A fan. A freak who waves his flag so high that passing planes have to go around it.
Thats the sort of devotion that drips out of his theme, and thats the sort of unpolished, unrepentant and powerful energy that you need for the show.
There is no other, Gabe is the only, true theme for this show. All others are in his shadow.
February 28th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Paul Wood FTW!!!
February 28th, 2009 at 11:21 am
AaronB, you must have missed him spamming in the chat room. “Hey Sarah you missed my song! ” 30 times per minute.
February 28th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Gabe McGuiness is the original and the best.
February 28th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Guy
Well if he spammed the room, that’s uncool. I was in when Leo heard it for the first time and he was beyond happy that Leo liked it so much.
Then again, it sort of fits into the fanatic aspect of it.
I mean, the dude is defiantly a TWiT fanatic, which is both good and bad.
March 1st, 2009 at 7:51 am
I vote for Pauly Wood. His name reminds me of Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos.
March 1st, 2009 at 10:43 am
After listening to the four options I select Pauly Wood. You need an upbeat theme song and his song fits the bill perfectly.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:52 am
The TweetBeat song is by FAR the best! Pauly’s TWiF song is the best of the TWiF intros.
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:14 pm
My vote is with Pauly’s songs!
March 4th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Pauly Wood!
March 6th, 2009 at 10:27 am
I vote GabeMcG
March 6th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
I was all set to vote for Dan Luders, but after the ringing endorsement from AaronB how could I not vote for myself?
Count +1 for me, GabeMcG
And to respond to Guy’s comment above, sorry if I got a little excited with the links there. I was just hoping they would play the Tweet Beat theme I made too. No big deal, it’s their show, but it was still a little disappointing.
Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and votes.
Please vote for me to win the Ultimate Gaming Machine too…
March 7th, 2009 at 8:30 am
its a toss up for me between “TWiF by Gabe McG” (I like its raw, comical edge) and “This Week In Fun by Dan Leuders” (for a more “produced” sound).
Tweet Beat theme sure is the best of them all

March 8th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
i keep missing these damn shows is there some way to download then, ive never used twitter before, somebody needs to get on the ball and straighten this mess out.
March 9th, 2009 at 5:02 am
My 2 cents: Mr Gabe McG is definitely more Mr Sergent’s style.
