We Need YOUR Help!


Think you can be the next
'American Paw-dol'?
Here's your chance!
Every good TV show needs a theme song.
Music isn't easy,
especially that Gm7 chord
(no thumbs!)

So, without further ado
here are my first attempts at a theme song for



Jack-igan's Island

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful pup.
That started when he headed west,
And forgot to bring a cup!

He was a mighty barking pup,
His voice was loud and sure.
Five puppies and a kitty-cat
Went west where the air was pure!

No, that's no good......it doesn't really tell a story!

The Jack-y Bunch

Here's a story,
of a lovely puppy,
who was bringing up 3 very lovely pups
all of them had hair of gold, like their mother,
the youngest one in curls.

Well, that's just silly. First of all, I don't have any pups and secondly, where is their mother? What kind of mother just runs off and leaves her babies with me?

===
The Beverly Jack-billies

Come 'n listen to my story 'bout a pup named Jack,
A poor Labrador, barely kept his family fed....

No no no. That won't work either. For one thing 'fed' doesn't rhyme with 'Jack'.

Well, I'm stumped. I guess I'll have to ask the tall guy if he can come up with something on that big black thing that he keeps in the room I'm not allowed to go into!

If you have any ideas, they would be greatly a-paw-ciated! :)

Speaking of songs (see note below):

Note: Oh well, there was a really cool video here of a dog
who didn't like the song "Happy Birthday" but it didn't want to embed,
so I just linked directly to it on YouTube!

  1. Good luck in your quest for the ideal themesong, whatever it will be it should have some essential words:
    1. Westward Ho!
    2. Ornery
    3. Ranch
    4. Food
    5. Jack
    I'm sure someone crafty will think of one, I like your gilligans one best!

  2. Can't wait to hear you SING the song, Jack! Maybe TG can accompany you on piano or guitar?

  5. Great songs Jack. Are you the next Paul Williams? You DO have three things in common....you are both great songwriters, you are both blonde and you are both short...I'm just sayin'....

  6. Hey Jack I'd love to help you with a song...but we aren't that good at it...have you thought about something to the tune of Old Danny Boy??
    Your video has been removed...I guess somebody didn't like the 'ho' part of the title...

  9. Hi Jack,
    How about Home on the Range? TG will have great words, but here's a start --

    Oh give me a home, where the Labradors roam
    And the Pugs and the Aussies all play
    Where seldom is heard that dreaded "No" word
    And the treats and the walks last all day
    Home, home on the range. . .

    Yee Haw!

  13. Jack,
    Going to have to ask my little Brother Blues for some help on this one. Let me see if he comes up with anything good. I'm all dew paws when it comes to music. BOL! But I like your attempts. Looking good in the Cowboy Hat too.

    Much Love,
    Woofs,
