If the Straight Dope had a theme song...

HA! I like this one.

I was going to suggest “Send in the Clowns.”

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.
