[Semi-OT] Haunted Apiary Theme Since there have been other games I've played - RPGs and the like - that have had an unofficial theme (as ina piece of music asociated with the game), I figured we should have one for The Haunted Apiary.
So, suggest a piece of music that you think would make a good theme for the Haunted Apiary!
Myself, I've got three suggestions already:
The most obvious: "Flight of the Bumblebee".
Somewhat less obvious: The X-Files theme.
Quite possilby the least obvious The Cruxshadows - Satellite (from the album TELEMETRY OF A FALLEN ANGEL).
Any other suggestions out there?

When the the text looks strange on your own web sites,
And your bees get hit with varroa mites,
Countless clues materialize,
Then all at once, before your eyes,
Grim grinning gamers come to socialize.
As corrupted pictures come into view,
Noobs arrive chanting "Halo 2!"
Xbox fans of every size
All begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning gamers come to socialize.
Now don't try to post what has just been said,
Or a ton of trout may fall on your head.
And don't suggest that these AIs
Are just Cortana in disguise.
Grim grinning gamers come to socialize.
When the screen is dark, and the hour is late,
And it's been three weeks since the last update,
The air is filled with endless sighs,
As restless spirits theorize.
Grim grinning gamers come to socialize.
If you can't remember your roommate's name,
Just repeat "This Is Not a Game."
You will feel your spirits rise
When it's finally time to metastasize.
Grim grinning gamers come to socialize.

Standing ovation. Wonderful piece of work, very impressive indeed. Wait are you saying I have a roommate? Well I'll be damned, it looks like I do. (Yells off to the side, "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?") Thanms for keeping me grounded.

Huzzah and here here for the whole thing!! Just hilarious.
It's in-jokes like these that pound the last nails into our nerdly coffins. (Incidentally, my roomate is seriously considering contacting mental health authorities after I told him that an AI from the future was going to call me on the phone and that "they" would all be VERY mad at me if I didn't answer it.)
Anyhow, I keep having visions of some HA wrap party where, at the height of geek socialization, groups of beekeepers across the country get together one more time to swap stories, drink {beverage of your choice} and reminisce. I've wondered what the playlist for the evening would look like....
Necessary inclusions:
Jersey's "This Part is Great" big band
99 Red Balloons
Stormy Weather
Kareoke to....everything? (Queen and Zepplin at the least. Poor guys)
anything else that is appropriate/necessary?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<rated spoiler for reaching somewhat beyond the curtain> heck, so long as I'm on that, I'm wondering how close to a zero possibilty it is for Bungie/MS/the PM's to take some hand in organizing it. I, for one, would like to be able to give all the actors a round of applause and here what it was like from their end. Not gonna happen? Any Cloudmakers to tell me what an ARG endgame looks like?
