That one wasn't the best edit/mashup I've ever done, but I  
couldn't resist urge to posit a response for a theme tune.

In highschool, I created a music-based interview along the  
lines of Mr Jaws by Dickie Goodman:

We are here on the beach
Where a giant shark has
Just eaten a girl swimmer
Well, Mr. Jaws, how was it?

'Dynomite'

And what did she say
When you grabbed her?

'Please, Mr., please'

I know sharks are stupid
But what did you think when
You took that first bite?

'How sweet it is'

Mr. Jaws, before you
Swim out to sea
Have you anything else to say?

'Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends'

My "interview" was with the teachers. The answers were taken  
from tunes that were very familiar or from popular tunes that  
people were to have likely heard on hit radio.

I can assure you, I made sure to poke a lot of fun (and perhaps  
embarassment) at the teachers, principal and vice principal.

It was a bigger hit with the kids than I thought. People were  
laughing so hard that I had to make sure I stopped the tape  
long enough for the laughing to die down so that everyone could  
hear the next interview question properly.

I made two more "episodes" in subsequent years.

I transferred the originals from reel-to-reel to cassette. A  
number of years later, I made copies to .mp3.  Maybe if I can  
find them, I'm post them.
