Calamine - Sealab 2021 Theme Song.

This is an I Broke Your Stereo first!

My opinions on a song, and not just any song, the 40 second theme tune for one of the most amusing cartoons I've laid my lovely brown eyes on! It's performed by Calamine. I did think of the pink lotion when I heard the name of the performers, and yes, I did remember using it to cure the itch of chicken pox when I was a child. A merry, disturbed, twisted child.

To begin, I purchased Sealab 2021 on DVD after witnessing the HappyCake Oven episode on an [adult swim] sampler DVD I was handed whilst purchasing another [adult swim] show a few weeks ago. I watched it, and I laughed. A show with a captain getting worked up over the fact that somebody stole his HappyCake Oven? It was too good to be true! (in hindsight, probably not, but I really, really did find it great).

Another thing which made me interested was the cute little theme tune. Forget the awesomeness of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme song, or the brutality of the totally metal theme for Metalocalypse (if you haven't seen that show, do it now, then you will get why I describe it as 'brutal' and 'metal'), this was a neat little ditty which I for some reason didn't expect to be the theme song for such a show.

Because I was so busy trying to force the HappyCake episode upon everybody I came across, I neglected to notice that the ending credits actually tell you who performs the song. So I spent a good few weeks wishing that some miracle would occur and let me know who performed said song.
Then I bought the DVD of Season One, and actually observed the credits. I then felt like a complete spastic. It was right there in front of me for those agonising weeks, and I didn't even realize.

So what's a girl who is hopelessly in love with a shows theme song supposed to do when she finds out who recorded it? Download it, that's what! And download I did, with a fiery passion burning within my chest! Although, looking back, I remember that said fiery passion was actually induced by the fact that I had just eaten something rather hot and swallowed it, and it was burning as it went down my gullet. I'm sure you all know that feeling.

I am now listening to it as I write this, on repeat, in all it's 40 second sweet goodness. I have an urge to research this band a little more now, because the singers voice is rather charming. She sort of reminds me of the lass from The Cranberries, except she doesn't do that oh so funky thing with her voice. You know, I just can't find the words for it.

As my conclusion, I think you should all either watch Sealab 2021 and laugh at how funny it is and aww at the theme song, or if you're too poor to afford the DVD, watch it on youtube, and download the theme song. Go! GOGOGOGOGO!
