**Scrivener** ’s Logical Song is superb. Bravo!! Whatever the words, I think the ideal tune would be the theme from the old “Mr. Ed” 1960s sitcom. Somehow a talking horse & an all-knowing planet-wide hive-mind just seem to go together for me. Besides, the syncopated rythm suits the erratic cadence of the hamsters’ responses. ---

My first thought was “You’re So Vain,” but I like “Send In The Clowns” better. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-the-straight-dope-had-a-theme-song/493297.md?page=1)
