Our theme music is A Better Tomorrow by Dan the Automator. Other music found in this week’s episode was provided by the following sources: Big News Theme — Here is the News by ELO, Ludicrous Speed Round Theme — Fury of the Storm by Dragonforce featuring Dark Helmet, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter (Answer of the Week), as well as many other fine songs that are copyrighted to their respective artists, record labels, etc, but I can’t list because I don’t know how to work Spotify properly (please don’t sue us).
Any episode that features any song from The Pixies ‘Bossanova’ has my approval. DEATH TO THE PIXIES!
