I am verbally gifted, with a handle on the lexicon, and a mastery of the colloquial vernacular from many parts of the country, I humbly enlist my abilities, and offer my help, in any way shape or form needed, to the growth, and eventual completion of this project.
I currently have an idea, which may revolutionize the way the Pogotribe theme song is being thought of.
We need a song to encompass the entire South Pole Of The Moon, from our most frequent visitors, to the Triads, to the noob. What if we had a genetic code for a song? Kind of like a DNA is the code for life. Then every user can use the code to create his/her own verse.
Like, if everyone used the same intro for their verse, for example:
I am part of pogotribe on south pole of the moon. Dan Browns Brownie Army, inside a lunar platoon.
Then afterwards everyone can add their own verse, including the tribes. For example I would add a verse about how the SPOTM has affected me, kind of like:
I am part of pogotribe on south pole of the moon. Dan Browns Brownie Army, inside a lunar platoon. Diversity, Equality, are important to me Without the respect of the moon, these virtues could not be Jmejia is my name, and I am here to say That biology is my true love, so go love life today.
(sorta sounds like a cheerleader cheer, no?)
Then everyone can post their verse on youtube, and we can have a long never ending, always evolving chorus of people on POGOTRIBE singing whatever it is that pogotribe means to them. The Triads can also have their own special verses, and so on and so forth...
And again, the above is just an example. Of course they are in no way representative of what I would really say.

Thanks. I added my suggestion to the theme song pogopedia discussion tab. Hopefully the official troupe of people running it will take it into consideration.

Wait.. so.. you want everyone to have a part of the song about them? It's great, in theory.. but a lot of people would be left out.. and that wouldn't be fair

No, Chelsea. You are confused.
I want everyone to have an opportunity to create the song from their point of view. In other words, the song will be different for anyone who sings it. But it needs to be recognized as the pogotribe theme song. So if we created a TEMPLATE for the song, everyone would recognize it as the theme song, and when I post myself singing it on youtube, people will realize it is the pogotribe theme song, but it will be personal, because I would have taken the template and made it my own. And anyone in the tribe who wants to, can do the same.
And it will be a multivideo collaboration. One video will be a response to every other video, and the actual song will be constantly evolving, as more people post their version of it, and as more people hear different versions of the same song.
Think of it this way. There is a template for the ABC song. ABCDEFG... well you know the melody. It is the same template for the twinkle twinkle little star song. Sing the beginning of both and prove this for yourself. In the same manner, if we create a beat, and an introduction to the pogotribe song that is recognizable, then nobody will mistake it for something else. But everyone who wants to have their own version of the song can. And nobody's version will be the official one. All versions will be the pogotribe song. It will be constantly growing, as more people make the song their own. It is an ever growing project (take this with what you know about population growth).
Did that help?

Ok, I understand.. but still.. then we have an official beat rather than an official song.. And I can't imagine everyone writing their own set of lyrics.... I know I could never do that D:

Well we can start them off with some intro lyrics, like 2 or more lines, but then let them write the rest themselves... Like I said in my two other posts in this forum, it needs to be recognizeable as the pogotribe theme song, so I think some lines like:
I am part of pogotribe on south pole of the moon. Dan Browns Brownie Army, inside a lunar platoon.
Will help cement the fact that this is the current singers rendition of the pogotribe theme song. And then the rest of it will be original (only in the current singers version)
I can imagine everyone writing their own lyrics. Perhaps you can get a friend to help you (if it turns out that this is what the theme sons ends up being). I just think pogotribe means different things to everyone, so everyone should be able to say what it means to them. And I think, personally, that when given the opportunity to do something like this, most people will come up with lyrics that are awesome. It is not too difficult to do. I wrote the lyrics above on page 3 in about 2 minutes.
But then again, I acknowledge that everyone is different, and for those who do have difficulty writing lyrics, again, their friends can help them, or even better, they can ask help from the tribe, and by working together, the tribe can help them develop their ideas and feelings towards SPOTM into something that works well with the template of the song.

Two things I don't want: an anthem a hand signal
Anthem creates a sense of closeness that is based on music and emotion rather than goals and common interests. It is a small piece of mind control. Hand signal excludes people not familiar with the hand signal and is like a uniform in that it indicates if you are "in" or "out.
Thoughts?

Can't edit posts...
love the idea of the song being different for everyone! The only thing I'd change is get rid of any template.
We should recognize a song as being the pogo tribe theme-song if it's positive and caring. So for example a Madonna song from 20 years ago could be just as much the pogo tribe theme song as one someone rights now.
And we could be like "They played the pogo tribe theme song on the radio this morning!!!" Really!? which part? "Band Aid - Feed the world" That's one of my favorite parts! or Catrina and the Waves - "love shine a light" or The lion king Hakuna Mattata or Weezer Island in the Sun
or anything like that. Let's just make a list of songs and claim them.

Why not? It works perfectly fine for me (and I guess everyone else too).

I'll figure out a way to post up a piece that I wrote for my niece. I know that words can be put to it because my 2 sisters got drunk and added words one time. I also know that it can be put together by various instruments and could be recorded in more than one style. I have the sheet music for it too--on an old computer. It was written up for keyboard originally.
Maybe...and there would be no copyright issue.

Moon Mouse has a theme tune people can use if they want it. Everything about moon mouse is open source, PM me for jpegs and sound files. Don't make moon mouse do something your granddad wouldn't have done when he was 4. Because he's old and wise.. but he's only four.

No matter what the song ends up being, I will ALWAYS make a heavy metal cover. Always.
