Danielle Scores Big with Adventure Time Theme

May 18th, 2010

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.

Adventure Time,
Cmon Let’s go!
What time is it?
Time to start the show!

Grab your friends,
Jake and Finn,
With all of us,
The fun beings.

Algebraic,
And like a rhombus,
Cuz we fight evil,
AND NOTHING STOPS US!

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da da daaa
Adventure Time
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da da daaa

Ice King tryna take Bubbluegum away.
Oh no! Finn, save the day!
Lumpy Princess, yeah LSP.
Into Lumpy Space,
Just don’t turn lumpy !

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da da daaa

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da da daaa

My gut says he’s good,
So let’s put our guts together,
And end this funky feud!

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da da daaa

The Junk You Don’t See

Finn - Naked

Here’s an example of how there’s usually a simple solution to a direction handed down from a network’s department of standards & practices.

So if you’ve watched the episode “Wizard” you know a large meteor blast at the cartoon’s end renders Finn, Jake, and a pair of old wizards naked as jaybirds. In an act of self-censorship, the design crew originally covered up the fellas’ privates with a couple of beavers (see above). This double entendre was way out of line, of course, and the network rightly put its foot down. Luckily, cooler creative heads prevailed, and the designers chastely gave the guys wood, instead (below).

“So why did they air “Trouble in Lumpy Space” again, instead of “Evicted”?” - I_Greyhound

“how come trouble in lumpy space came on instead of evicted and now evicted is coming next week what happened?” - sayvon

“Yeah, I mean, not saying that Trouble in Lumpy Space is bad or anything, but some people missed Evicted and were hoping to see it tonight. PLEASE make a post or something about this.” - finnthehuman

Yeah, I was surprised, too. I thought it was going to be “Wizard” (new and great) plus “Evicted!” (a repeat, but still great). After all, that’s the way it is on my complimentary DVD. Turns out Cartoon Network has decided to switch to a single premiere format, matching a new episode with an old one until all the new ones are used up. The good news? You’ll get a new episode on Monday nights twice as long this way. Stretching out the good times. [Read more…]
