    So... let me prefix this with some context.

    I have been part of the online roleplay server known as We Are All Pokémon Trainers for three years now. I have had four different characters, all four of whom either own or will own a Galvantula Cute Electric Floof Spooder (TM). The one that this post is about in is the Shiny Galvantula owned by my latest character Ingrid Anderson, whose name is Ananpi.

    Long story short, I'm currently trying to come up with a new character theme for him. I've selected character themes for all of my Pokémon in WAAPT and will continue to do so in the future. The current character theme I have, "Electric" by Katy Perry, was chosen due to his love of Pikachu-- but it is way too sane for a character like Ananpi.

    Ananpi is crazy- in a good way. He's quirky, a bit of a (genius) ditz, cheerful, excitable, and a massive fan of the obscure, unique, and silly.

    He watches Monty Python's Flying Circus and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on the regular.

    He watches and plays Pointless and Only Connect and absolutely crushes the contestants (and if you're a Brit and you know the latter show, that should tell you how much of a Genius Ditz Ananpi is).

    He breaks the fourth wall, talks to himself, and has a meta-awareness of both the RP and TV Tropes in general.

    His favorite move is Bounce.

    And, of course, he acts and dresses up like a Pikachu, to the point where he drops "chuu" noises in his sentences and has a Pikachu-based typing quirk.

    TL:DR; his personality is what happens when you take MLP:FiM's version of Pinkie Pie, mix in a dash of a kid-friendly Deadpool, and then mix that with a Pikachu.

    I'm looking for a character theme that reflects that. I want it to be fun, bouncy, and quirky in its instrumentation- and a bit in its lyrics- but I don't want it to be too crazy. Ananpi does strange things, rather than really saying strange things. I also want it to touch more on Ananpi's quirkiness and excitability rather than his love of Pikachu or his love of silly British game shows (though the song can be British in origin).

    The caveats are:
    1) The song can't be by ABBA. Every mon that's part of Ingrid's first 6 has an ABBA song as their character theme except Ananpi, who intentionally breaks the mold.
    2) The song can't be by Weird Al Yankovic, in part because that would be too obvious a selection and in part because I viscerally hate his music, save for three songs. None of those three songs fit Ananpi.
    3) The song should preferably be in between 2 and a half and 7 and a half minutes long.
    4) Songs with a bit of Word Salad Lyrics are okay, but something like "I Am the Walrus" would fall too far into the "too crazy for Ananpi" category.

    With all that information out of the way- feel free to comment with your suggestions. I will make sure to read them all before deciding.

    UPDATE: Please disregard the above message. I have found and selected Ananpi's character theme. It is "The One and Only" by Chesney Hawkes. I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have seen this thread and had ideas for a character theme.
