I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. That is the first line in one of the most famous TV theme songs of all time. I’m sure most of you have heard the song and a majority of you know all of the words. But did you know who sang the song? I’m willing to be that a majority of people don’t know the name of the man who brings the Pokemon theme song to life.
The name of the man who sings the Pokemon theme song is Jason Paige. With Pokemon back in the spotlight with Pokemon Go, the nostalgia is real. So Jason Paige has gone back into the studio to recreate his most famous work. Watching the video and listening along you can hardly tell that it is not the original version of the song. Paige is a true professional and it shows with the original version of the song and this recreation.
The amazing thing about the Pokemon theme song is the crossover appeal of it. If you do a google search for the song cover versions abound, from guys with acoustic guitars in their bedrooms to Metallica. The song is just so good; it is catchy and will stick in your head forever. It is also quite the pump of song. Just one listen will help you tackle any task in your way. I mean how can you not get the job done after hearing that music and those great lyrics.
You can be the very best, you have friends to help you along the way and you learn all that you can. That is Pokemon and that is the core of the Pokemon theme song. The man you have to thank for that is Jason Paige. Thank you Jason for making the childhood of many kids amazing and for helping generations of kids to be the very best, like no one ever was.
