Jim Johnston confirmed that he sung two themes

[Alex]

I don't know if anyone already seen this but during an interview, Jim Johnston confirmed that he sung himself two WWE themes (Dude Love's theme and the so called "Everybody on the Ground" Smackdown! theme).

Are there any entrance themes or bits of WWE production music that feature your actual voice on them?
Wow, this is for the serious trivia lover, it is me singing Dude Love's theme and, while it stretches the definition of the word, I did "sing" one of the early Smackdown themes. I was hearing some early metal stuff and was always shocked how bad the vocals were, and that the lyrics were absolutely unintelligible. The theme I had written was in this style, and I couldn't find a singer, so I did it myself. There are no lyrics, I just sang gibberish. I had fans contact me for a lyric sheet which, of course, I could not provide.

Dude Love was already known, it's most likely him doing "You Start the Fire" and the backing vocals of "Sweet Lovin' Arms" too.

[Mr. Awesome]

IYH 7 too

Thanks for the fun facts.

"Everybody on the Ground" is officially credited as "Smackdown! Theme"

That's true! Didn't the title come from a WWE Magazine too?

[thebib62]

Yes, that's correct.

[EddieK]

Yes, that's correct.

Knew it! Which month exactly? I'm missing several from 2006 until 2010.

[thebib62]

That I don't know. I think it was a more recent issue though.
I believe the info is posted under the Smackdown theme section on the main site.

[PaddyDragon23]

WWE Magazine also brought us "Smoking Mirror" by Matt White, that Magazine isn't really that reliable as a source for song titles.

Ah, Okay. In a bit I'm going to find which exact one it is.. Hopefully I have the exact issue.

That's correct. In that same Superstar yearbook that have the production library as the artist.

[EddieK]

Okay, sorry for any delay on my end. I've been busy with school and the whole Xycast thing.

I couldn't find it. I skimmed through December 2011 until December 2012. I really wish we can find that issue that has "SmackDown Theme!" I'm thinking it's from their one Digital Issue from May (?) 2011.
BUT, Like I said in my previous post... Rosa Mendez for an example.

I guess "Everybody On The Ground" is the title of the 1st SmackDown Theme

Great!
It would still be great to find that WWE Magazine though.

So this has nothing to do with it? To have 2 titles would mean to have 2 different versions wouldn't it and Smackdown did have 2 different versions?

Is it some promo shit rather than the actual track then? Is it one of the multiple CD bootleg versions around?
