The contest is back.  We had an amazing year (and more) of Angelo’s catchy theme song, but it is time for a change.  If you know some one at El Diamante High School that is a musician or are one yourself, now is the time to start dreaming up the next big song.  Are you ready to have kids all over campus humming or singing your tune?  Are you ready to win a brand new iPod?  Are you ready to put down “Songwriter” on your resume?  If so, read on!

On Air with Ed Hews is looking for a song that is bouncy enough to dance to, fun enough to make people smile, and pop-y enough that everyone will want to listen to it.  This isn’t easy because you are not writing a song for your band’s album (although you could!), you are writing a song that make 2000 kids smile twice a week.

For a little help and inspiration, check out Entertainment Weekly’s list of the 25 Perfect Theme Songs.  Give them a good listen.  They all something in common….audience appeal.  Friends had a hit on their hands with  I’ll Be There For You  by  The Rembrandts. What about that catchy diddy from Saved by the Bell?  I still sing that one when I am stuck in traffic.   The far cooler version of that is from The OC.  California by Phantom Planet ended up being better than the show.
