I love how the kid is scowling the whole time. Also, the song sounds incredibly sad for a theme song to a kids show.

@Orthodox Chrischanity: I imagine it as a bad 80s synth ballad.

...As much as I don't want to, I should probably watch this. I have no idea what the GA theme is, and I'm pretty curious.

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

I'm almost too afraid to read. Bad musical numbers are a way without fail to make me cringe into outer space.

Wasn't Kids Next Door technically ageist towards adults?

Only the evil ones.

I just watched the video too. It is oddly depressing. So did Mr. Enter write the lyrics to it?

It was more than likely a group effort. I use the term "effort" loosely, however.

I like some of Mr Enter's videos but Growing Around seems like a hot mess. He really should try to get a part or full time job and save up for community college and then after two years and he gets a associates degree he could transfer into a state college to get a bachelors. I do not know how he expects to pitch this to any major networks and expect them to take him seriously.

Had he ever even held an instrument before making this video?

It kind of sounds like Enter was shooting for some sort of Steven Universe vibe with the lyrics.
I can't comment on the music itself.

The guy who made this isn't serious right? Please tell me this is a joke.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

@StateOfMind: It's real. It's very, very real.

 

[Swiggity Swooty]

I'm not entirely sure if this was bought up before, but apparently, the idea Enter intended for the theme song to be played was:

Any genre that you think would fit. Watch my Top 20 Opening Themes list and get inspired (focus on somewhere between Chip and Dale and Kim Possible.)

Like the voice auditions, the guidelines here are extremely vague.
Unfotunately, there's probably not as many QUALITY musicians as there are voice actors in Enter's fanbase.

The only guide line:
Rip off something

He could do all that and he still wouldn't have any connections in the industry. Even if he had a professor who was BFFs with a producer at Cartoon Network he lacks the social graces to take advantage of that.

The next best part of the pitching process that if the guy who's being paid to listen to Enter's pitch decides, "Meh, okay, I'll let the big guys know.", the process moves on to investors. These are the people who, upon giving [wasting] money on the show, will demand certain things. You want the money? You cave to those changes. You never know of one of them may have a little kid who wants their ORIGINAL CHARACTER put in.

That would be hysterical.

He does seem a little awkward because he probably has some mild autism. I would not like to see him fail, but it seems like how he does not take criticism or go through the steps to even attempt to get his show off the ground that his project will most likely be just a few flash videos on the internet, which is not a bad thing but it seems like he expects more then that out of the project.

 

[Teddy]

I was about to complain about the lack of brothas in the picture (and GA for that matter) but the concept of a kid conning others kids with snake oil sold me.

Knowing Enter, He probably won't even try to diversify the cartoon, in fear of offending anyone. So much for not wanting to play safe huh? Although, if you're offended by a cartoon that'll never get picked up, then that's pretty absurd.

I would never compare Enter to John k. That's like comparing a NFL player to weak high school wrestler.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

I don't think he understands that making diverse characters is as simple as making them, well, characters, not just tokens who are there to fill a quota.
