George Carlin + Nintendo Wii Theme (SLYT). Very short but tremendously catchy. (Originally from Carlin on Campus.)

"So I say live and let live. That's my motto: Live and let live. Anyone who can't go along with that, take 'em outside and shoot the motherfucker. It's a simple philosophy, but it's always worked in our family."

And here I was thinking the old internet had died out.

'You know, people always ask me, "Gabe, if there were a Wii Croquet included in WiI Sports, what would that soundtrack sound like"? So… I wrote it.'

Having watched "Carlin on Campus" more times than I can count in my youth, that was delightful.

Also, as a sidenote, that cheer of his is the very last thing in the special before they roll credits. Perfectly reasonable way to end a comedy special, I say.

OK, raise hands. How many could do the cheer sans remix because they're just old. I miss Carlin. Now we just need a mix of the "only four chords make up every pop song" mixed with the cheer or the words you can't say on television.

See when I think of Wii music now it's this DS9 scene. But this works too.

Perfect! I'm about to go out to the Mojave for Wasteland Weekend. I now know what I'm going to get my tribe mates to chant!
