Danielle delivers an awesome rendition of the show’s theme song on ukulele. She even added her own lyrics, below. I don’t remember what I was doing in 10th grade, but it’s a safe bet it wasn’t this cool.

The reaction to posting Casey James Basichis’sscore to the Jiggler a couple of weeks back was such a hit, Casey went ahead and put together an eight minute video of his inspiration and work behind composing the “Ricardio the Heart Guy” track. You can watch that above.
In addition, by clicking here, you’ll get to listen to the episode’s whole score. A special nod goes to “opera singer extraordinaire” Karen Vuong. Her soprano voice pops up in a bunch of episodes, making the music on Adventure Time that much more distinctive. Also, a big thanks to Sonopod, who mastered this episode for your downloading pleasure.
Okay, so it’s not the stand-alone Auto-Tune song from last night’s “The Jiggler,” but it’s about 72 times better. Adventure Time composer Casey James Basichis was kind enough to make the episode’s full score available to me and you.
I totally agree with Lucinda Michelle when she Tweeted, “I mean seriously, @AdventureTimeCN has some seriously wonderful scoring…beyond crystal castles good. beyond 8-bit good. Srsly. Wow!”
Seriously.I don’t know beans about the 8-bit or crystals castles, but I will say this. As with the short way back when, Casey’s scoring is an integral part of Adventure Time while like the cartoon as a whole, distinctive and distinguishable. We’re lucky he’s on board.
