Weekend Discussion Thread: Who Should Sing the Theme Song?

Bob writes:

We all know that Joel and Mike sang the songs in their runs on the show. Since it looks like the show will be brought back it’s possible that Jonah Ray could sing it. If he doesn’t then who could? I don’t know if Joel would, as he’s not the host. My personal pick would be Annie Clark/St. Vincent. It would be a new twist having a female vocalist sing the theme! Yes, Mary Jo did sing a few lines in the Sci-Fi era but Mike did the main vocals. I think Annie would do a great job. Annie also plays guitar so she could even do the famous “TWANG!” note at the end of the song.

My suggestion: Man or Astroman, baby!
