NPR’s “Morning Edition” Updated Its Theme Music | CONAN on TBS

[@akhilpremk]

NPR needs to adopt this.

[@juliepereira486]

If it's any encouragement, I'm an audio engineer at NPR HQ, and we bop to this regularly. I think we ought to adopt it, but my opinions do not reflect those of the company as an entity or any other individuals who work here. Edit: You should come and play a Tiny Desk. I'm sure we could make that happen.

[@jpjpjpjpx]

Can you guys please change it back to the old theme that we all loved?

[@PatrickMorris]

It's all I hear now when it's on the radio. OH it's the Conan song.... oh no, it's their real song now waah wooomp

[@mikewolf5367]

This video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrTqph6erRpe7s actually gives pointers on how to improve acceptance of the new song just by tweaking the timing of the voice overs. Check it out and hopefully the production department can implement them.

[@levim1843]

Ha! As the writer of this bit, very cool news to learn!

[@andrearegina3344]

I've heard it 5 times already, still funny. Congratulations, Conan writer [Levi MacDougal] that will never read this.

[@Seabeams]

I am also watching this over and over. Sad I can only like it once

[@powell956]

for real-NPR responded, saying Conan's still got jokes to steal (alright, shots fired) but also, it actually is funny thing is, there's no way Conan just came up with that on his own he's just the face of a team of writers that don't get any credit, save their name flashed on the screen at the end of the show

[@StarkRG]

@@powell956 While true, that's pretty much the case of ALL writers of ANY TV show. Remember that Conan, himself, was one such writer (The Simpsons, among others).

[@powell956]

@@StarkRG not disputing that but I may be suggesting that Conan himself may not be all that funny *anymore*

[@crnkmnky]

@@powell956 who is ever really 'as great as they used to be?' that's the circle of life. also… that's your _third_ attempt to diss Conan, are you done yet? 🙄

[@ImGunnaPeonYou]

If they adopt this I'll bump my donation.

[@JG-vo3mh]

😂😂

[@storm50721]

Anyone here after hearing the NPR Politics podcast?

[@Yeentenology]

I am!

[@hernameiskris272]

Immediately came here! 😅🙌🏿

[@eleri_theda]

The sudden switch to falsetto at the last line really is the cherry on top of this theme song sundae

[@anthonynguyen7513]

NPR actually found out about this.

[@timeforbeans]

NPR is amazing. Love this new song. I am an NPR nerd...I listen to it all the time, they have amazing reporting from issues home and abroad.

[@Engineering_Ed]

NaNaNaNaNaNa News!

[@jadeybyers]

Can we get a petition going to get Jack Black to sing Conan's version?

[@snoopsteryomom]

Legitimately catchy. Andres is the best part of the conan cast!

[@trinidadtheislandman4065]

I like Conan's version the best! 😄🤙

[@melvina628]

1:12 That's an absolute PLUS! Everyone wants a 'fro.

[@GoldeneyeDoubleO7]

that song isn't half bad. Actual quality

[@tetsmcgee]

Makes me laugh every single time... The news is next.

[@hemmojito]

I kinda wish they had made a whole professional song about this with a real choir and everything.

[@ElectricGlider2016]

I will actually donate to NPR for the first time this year if they seriously adopt this as their theme song.

[@Yeentenology]

Thank you so much, Conan, that was *THE ABSOLUTE BEST* music I ever heard. And I wish you the best. Have a wonderful career! Best regards, Franz Ferdinand VIII

[@adamsvette]

just came back to say that i still sing these lyrics every morning when i listen to npr. and in my headcannon THIS is the official theme song of npr now. na na na na na na na na na news!

[@vividlydisoriented]

that last part cracks me up..

[@km19292]

I sing this every time I’m in the car listening to NPR!

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

I listened to the song several times until I had enough.

[@vintagevhsarchive]

Getting a Conchords vibe from the lyrics. Good stuff.

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

love it

[@sps000111]

New National Public Radio slogan: "NPR News: We Are the Best Mother F*cking News."

[@nikkibates1046]

I've been singing this on my commute every day since first hearing it 8 months ago.

[@tommytatt]

I love you conan

[@ryliefoster49]

steve inskeep should sing this

[@youtmeme]

best song ever!

[@ljnvmt95]

Fantastic!

[@kevinsargent]

I love this

[@bks161]

That was awesome

[@kpepperl319]

You know Terry Gross needs to sing that last line 😅

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

1:23 It's official! Conan's a grandma!

[@luqyana3302]

This is great! 😂

[@crnkmnky]

So, the song was actually first updated around twenty years ago (there's an old news clip on here somewhere). I liked the "Kenny-G-ified" easy listening remake, but I was very excited to hear the new update… until I heard it. Thank you for vastly improving this bland, bland, 2019 remix.

[@chefjames3361]

Please don't wake me up this morning.

[@puellagina]

YES

[@solidkingcobra]

son of a bitch. I CANNOT UNHEAR THIS! I will be forever associating this Coco version every morning now.

[@AisuruMirai]

But they're not changing their "Alan Alda gets a pizza" theme for _All Things Considered,_ right?

[@bvfreaf]

Great...now I'm going to hear those words in my head every time I listen to All Things Considered.

[@msminmichigan]

I really think NPR should use those lyrics.

[@mahmoudgamalmd2251]

CONAN ! Come to Egypt ?

[@grapesofwraith1066]

I'd honestly rather listen to the Team Coco lyrical version than the plain soulless electro version that NPR is actually using!

[@bvfreaf]

I now sing "News, news-NPR News!" out loud whenever Morning Edition comes on.

[@ikuep]

I doubt anything on NPR will hit me like a shot of blow.

[@pryingeyes1551]

Sounds like the chocolate rain guy.

[@NoiseKidd]

I was going to guess that they just added a trap beat or something

[@crnkmnky]

BJ Leiderman supposedly wrote lyrics with the original song, some sitcom-esque mumbling about not wanting to get up in the morning. Yours is less awkward somehow. 👍🏿

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

1:23 I swear Conan, don't make that face. You look like my dead grandmother!

[@eddiesigala4254]

I mean, it IS the best news. Still prefer the old theme music though.

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

Conan dresses and does his make up by himself that's why.

[@Johnnygrafx]

Hey if they had that theme song maybe people would actually listen to NPR

[@puellagina]

People already actually listen to NPR.

[@Johnnygrafx]

@@puellagina I know. I'm just joking.

[@puellagina]

@@Johnnygrafx Cool. I host Morning Edition so I've got skin in the game ;)

[@Johnnygrafx]

@@puellagina I used to work for public broadcasting too lol.

[@RuthEveryoneMakesMusic]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Biofan813]

So Npr, balls in your court now.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

lmao

[@psblueskies]

NPR theme song

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

was that mickey mouse at the end?

[@TSquared2001]

Still sucks. Lyrics are great but the music sucks.

[@vpolk5500]

I HATE the new theme song!

[@TSquared2001]

I so glad I'm not the only one. I make sure to miss the intro and go straight to the news.

[@FoxLeaf87]

They need to go back to the old theme. There was no good reason to change.

[@ValmeRibay]

Too bad you can't mention blow or mother-f-ing on public radio

[@smrubelmedia]

Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you💕

[@ramtinpourshakour2593]

Oh my god FIRST!!

[@KingSlimjeezy]

NPR legit sucks these days. and im on 27

[@brianerney8119]

That song it horrible
