Sometimes a request lodges itself in my brain and demands to be brought to life immediately. This was one such request. The #Peacemaker theme as done by The BeeGees, requested by Gareth.
Michael asked for the #Peacemaker theme in the style of DEVO/Kraftwerk, so this is mostly DEVO with just a smidge of Kraftwerk.
Asaf requested the #Peacemaker theme as a Nine Inch Nails song. This may be my new favorite. WARNING: Flashing lights and loud, noisy, shouty rock.
Jordan and Chris both wanted to hear the #Peacemaker theme as a Bluegrass song. Yippe ky yay!
I still plan to get to more requests, but this one is going to be hard to beat, though I do regret filming it in portrait orientation. My friend Jennifer suggested I do the #Peacemaker theme song in the style of one of my all time heroes, “Weird Al” Yankovic. It immediately formed in my mind.
My friend Greg posed the question: What if the “Peacemaker” theme, “Do Ya Wanna Taste It?” was done by Primus? Challenge accepted! Definitely the most niche version yet.
My friend Annie posed the question: What if the #Peacemaker theme was an R&B song? Dammit, people, I have work to do! Stop presenting me with ideas that just BEG for life! This may be my favorite yet.

Then as soon as I had posted this, I thought to myself, “Actually, this would make a really good dark, moody, stripped down ballad with an underlying sinister feeling to it,” and I immediately started working on that. Somewhere around 6 or 7 hours later, it was done. Or so I thought.
