If Mahalo had a theme song... what would it be?

Come on everyone, let's get creative! (funny or serious... doesn't matter)
The most votes wins, but please help out and give a vote or two! Please include a video or sound bite in case we don't know the song.

If I had to choose, I'd pick David Bowie "Changes" since this place has me learning something new almost every day.

I may be stating the obvious here but my 18 month old daughters favorite artist Laurie Berkner, sings a song called "Mahalo."

Maybe a little soft for all you rockers, but she likes it. Maybe we could draw some of the younger crowd to the site!

I saw this and totally thought the Hawaii-five-oh theme due to all the action going on all day here. Maybe it's a theme that could use a cover by some surf rock band a la Dick Dale.

Cheers!

Oooh, if I get to pick the artist to do the cover, I now deem Los Straitjackets the worthy champions!

I think your pick is a very good one but another one comes to my mind that, at least for me, fits Mahalo as a theme. It has all the elements that Mahalo brings to me, that love/hate relationship that changes seem to envoke. Its all about words and our individual perceptions how those words effect us.But it's also symbolic of how those words, shared, solidify us as a community of beings that seek to make a difference.
For me that choice for a Mahalo theme song would be;

YES
Changes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkLay7FMt3s

YES lyrics - Changes

(Rabin/Anderson/White)

I'm moving through some changes
I'll never be the same
Something you did touched me
There's no one else to blame

The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We've given up pretending
As if you didn't care

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

I look into the mirror
I see no happiness
All the warmth I gave you
Has turned to emptiness
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
You've left me here believing
In love that wasn't there

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise - Well you get what's coming
One word can bring you round
Changes

When I look into your eyes and try to find out how
There's no way to save it now
And everything I feel
Changes
Keep looking for
Changes
Changes

For some reason you're questioning why
I always believe it gets better
One difference between you and I
Your heart is inside your head

One word from you
One word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone

Only such fools
Only such jealous hearts

Only through love changes come

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

One road to loneliness
It's always the same
One road to happiness
It's calling your name

Change changing places - Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

Change changing places
Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise - Well you get what's coming
One word - One word can bring you round
Changes

There's a Place Called MAHALO!

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Jamaica
off the Florida Keys
There's a place called MAHALO
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in MAHALO

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to MAHALO
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to MAHALO

To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique

We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in MAHALO

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to MAHALO
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to MAHALO

Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like MAHALO
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to MAHALO

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooh i want to take you down to MAHALO
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to MAHALO

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooh I want to take you down to MAHALO

There is this song from Les Miserable that I like very much.
It’s hilarious, funny and cheer peoples up..
It’s called “Master of the House”.
It cheers up the otherwise very heavy Les Miserable.

I like some of its lyrics too:
“Servant to the poor
Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher
And lifelong mate
Everybody´s boon companion
Everybody´s chaperone”

Enjoy the song :-)

Great to know you like the musical too..

Many songs can be used as sub-themes too: (LOL)
when peoples working without hope, use: Work Song or Look Down
when peoples hope to earn big here, use: Castle On A Cloud
when peoples left and only few remains, use: On My Own
when peoples are angry with new changes, use: Do You Hear The Peoples Sing
when nothing changes for better, use: Turning

I think one of these would be great! " Don't Worry, Be Happy, " "Macarena" or how about the "Chicken Dance" No reasons just like the beat to the music. We all like something with a catchy tune.

Given the meaning of 'mahalo', I think the theme song to "Mr. Roger Neighborhood" would be the prefect choice. I'd love to hear it chime in every time I open the site. We're all just kids at heart anyway, aren't we?

Mahalo means "thanks". How does that link to Mr. Roger's?

Am I just missing something?

The Beatles: "Getting Better" would be my suggestion. (I'd omit the woman beating part, though. I added my own lyrics for that part.)

It's getting better all the time

I used to get mad at my school
Now I can't complain
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
Now I can't complain
You're holding me down, ah, turning me round, ah
Filling me up with your rules, ooh ooh

I've got to admit it's getting better, better
A little better all the time, it can't get no worse
I have to admit it's getting better, better
It's getting better since you've been mine

Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can

{Refrain}

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can

(My lyrics)
I used to be new to Mahalo
I read it and thought that I couldn't be part of the team.
Man I was wrong, and I'm coming along
And I'm doing the best that I can.

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Getting so much better all the timehttp://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/gettingb.htm

I think Corey has inspired us all to try and be the best rockstar Mahaloians we can be!

When I grow up
I want to be
A rockstar Mahaloian
Like Mike and Corey

Jason and Lon
Encourage me to be
The best Mahalo user
That I can be

It would be a previously unreleased Justin Bieber track entitled "Facebook Gives You Syphilis".

For some reason I can't find it on YouTube.

I saw this question in undecided voting and voted for this answer.
The "nba" decision here was not the result of @bunnyphuphu selecting it or a lack of voting (I voted this answer) it is because of Mahalo error.
