Glenn Beck New Theme Song 2010

Posted in Dummies of the Year 1.0 | 122 comments

Update January 5, 2011: Glenn Beck changed his theme song for 2011. Find it here: Glenn Beck New Theme Song 2011

I tried really hard to find a link to Glenn Beck’s new theme song for 2010 and was unsuccessful. If you have one or know of one I can use here on this site please let me know.

To all Glenn Beck supporters what do you think of his radio theme song for the year 2010? I thought it sounded a lot like a theme song for a 007 James Bond movie. The longer I listened to it I thought it was sung by Queen (I do realize that is impossible). This is isn’t to belittle Beck, these are just my observations.

What are your thoughts on the new theme song?

I think the singer sounds a lot like the solo artist Serj Tankien, formerly the lead singer of System of a Down. Listen to his solo work and you will see what im talking about.

1) Who sings the radio theme song?

All of our theme music is produced in-house.

2) What are the words to the theme song?

“We search for answers everywhere. We will be the key”. “We must remember who we are, we will be the key”

foxy

beck's too busy to answer an email about his new theme song? please. he's probably enjoying all the interest and will maintain the mystery. it's like the guy who wrote American Pie, Don McLean, who claimed he wasn't writing about anyone in particular. that way, he maintained the mystery and the continued interest in the song. if beck wanted us to know who does his theme song, he could announce it on his show.

I think the song is by "savior machine" he has made so many songs and many of the songs have diffrent "sounds" and some of savior machine's music has this sound.

this was my first impression. i should listion to my cd's again and see if im mistaken or not.

Obvioyusly Glenn Beck has adopted the John McCain plan for music, playing music from rcording artists without paying them or even getting their permission.
I doubt Muse would share Beck's attitude that in order to defeat the government we need to get on our knees before the corporate gods!

Actually I think he used a different band. Look through the comments because people there was a legit person who sang this that Beck probably paid.

I never heard of Muse, but I'm with the others who say it reminds them of Queen. It reminds me not only of Queen, but of Queen's soundtrack for the awful "Flash Gordon" movie from the late 70's.

Am I the only one who thinks the new music is creepy?
Gregorian monks chanting about the oncoming economic apocalypse is a little too self-serious for a morning radio show.
The lyrics also show signs that Beck 9-12 success has gone to his head - "Remember who we are"; "We Shall be the Key"...

Gleen used to make me laugh. Moron trivia, in particular, was funny as hell. Now he seems to think he is a messiah leading his audience out of the wilderness. I got news for him - most of us are already well read on Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt and don't need his patronizing brand of teachinng high school social studies.

I am excited that there are a few others (even if only a few) that noticed the Joy Division tracks used in some of Becks bumpers. I couldn't believe how frequently they were being used and, additionally, was rather surprised by some of the selections. I love Killing Joke but cannot recall hearing them on the show. Of course, being a stay at home dad, I am often distracted from listening. Anyways, I immediately started searching the web for anyone else who noticed and didn't come across anything until finding this thread.

Within our social networks my wife and I are a minority. So, when I imagine a person who would listen to Joy Division etc. I immediately think of the people I know into that type music; my age, artists and/or musicians and ULTRA liberal ... Basically, I was stoked to hear JD on Glenn Beck.

I have a suggestion for an alternate chorus to really put this into the apocalypse:

“We'll remember who we were, we were we were free...”

That's what I've thought the words were at first.

It isn't Muse. The artist that sings the new Glenn Beck theme song "We Will Be The Key" is Stephen Lyons. Glenn Beck wrote the lyrics and Anthony Newett wrote and produced the song. You can view the announcement and other music by Stephen Lyons Here: link removed because it no longer exist.

Thanks, Dave, I followed the link and gave a listen to the Stephen Lyons sample...makes a lot of sense, actually, for Glenn to do it that way...also listened to some of the other samples, not bad stuff. Anyway, your answer is the one I'm going with, thanks for sharing.

Dave Bracamonte

All of Glenn's music is custom composed and performed by his staff composer, Anthony Newett. Anthony composes and performs all of the radio-show political parodies and spoofs. Their sound design (sound FX, etc.) is done by Nick Daley. Anthony Newett composed all of the music for Glenn's love shows, such as "The Christas Sweater", etc. He hires various vocalists, depending on the style they are going for. As it turns out, Glenn wanted a Muse-like sound for this one, so Anthony used a great Philadelphia based singer named Stephen Lyons.

If you go to http://goo.gl/hqoL, you will see Anthony's work with Glenn.

I was wondering what the new bumper music was today, that is how I stumbled onto this blog. The music does sound like Muse, Radiohead and Chris Cornell. I have been looking all day now. Since I really like Muse, and have never heard that song before i will settle for Rolyo! Rolyo has been featured on the Glenn Beck show. I have never heard of him before. his music is right leaning. I am almost positive that it is Rolyo (sounds like the music). I just cant find that exact song. What say all of you?

I listened to the first few seconds of "Uprising," and it sounds more like the Doctor Who theme song than the Glenn beck theme song. Any one found out who it is yet?

It looks like the comments are split down the middle. It is either Muse or it is not Muse. ;)

I think Glenn isn't saying who it is because he wants his listeners to concentrate on the words but it would still be nice to know who sings the song.

It is Muse, although I'm not sure the song. This morning he also used a Joy Division song as bumper music.

I totally agree, I thought it was some long lost never released Queen song...I think it's awesome. I laughed at Quran- I ran into the spyware junk in my search, too...Anyway, if that's what muse sounds like, I'll have to give a listen.

As Glenn's sound guy is Muse's sound I dont think its that hard to fathom that he would be able to get them to do a 30 secound sound byte for him. Glenn loves muse because they sing about whats going on in britain which is about 6 months ahead of us on the financial collapse side.

I was looking again today. The yahoo question that was posted:
Here
provides an interesting link in the first possible answer (not yet answered when this was written):
Here: http://goo.gl/5sBo

I only watched it once, but Beck is definitely speaking the lyrics as though they were a quote.
I am now led to believe the song is an original production for the bumper music.
It is likely stylized after Muse, but I would like to point out something very interesting about the vocalist.
He sounds JUST LIKE Chris Cornell (who did the Casino Royale theme if I am not mistaken).

I wasn't sure who the singer for Casino Royale was but when I heard the new theme song I thought James Bond was hosting Glenn's show for the day. I think it will grow on us eventually. He usually has more hip music but he has changed a lot in the last few years.

I think it sounds like a "fusion" of Muse, Chris Cornell and Enigma. Muse sounds very much like Queen so that's got to be who that is but then mix in Chris Cornell and Enigma.... I've been trying to find it too so if anyone finds it, please post it here! Has anyone asked Glenn? Maybe he'd tweet us or post it on facebook?
Thanks!

I actually tweeted him about it but that guy is so stinking busy I am sure he doesn't have time to check all of his tweets.

Thanks for comment and if you do find out post here and I will update the post. Thanks :)

LOL It does sound like a Russian song, reminds me of "Meadowlands" which I think has the tune of a Russian anthemn. In any event, it sounds like the kind of teen boy metal thing that matches Beck's mental age. I can just imagine him in his bedroom pretending he has a mike and pointing out while he mouths "JUST REMEMBER WHO WE ARE. . . "

I just heard the true answer on "The Glenn Beck Show" this morning (1/28/10). He mentioned that his own sister inquired about the haunting song with the chorus lyrics, "just remember who we are, we shall be the key." The lyrics were partly written by Glenn Beck himself and the music is played by musicians somehow associated with him or his production company.

And although Glenn Beck is a huge fan of the band Muse and has featured their post-apocalyptic songs on occasion, there may have been a falling-out with them due to the band's recent resistance to having him promote their music on his show. The opening theme music is curiously identical to the style of Muse, but it is definitely not them.

So now we play the waiting game to see if Beck's production company or the [unnamed] band itself will release the song.

There it is.

Just a quick correction: It is rumored that Muse emailed the program and asked Beck to quit promoting their songs during a commercial break after Beck had been playing one of their songs. This is categorically false. Beck made an obvious joke about it, which set blogs on fire with misinformation. He actually announced a few days later that he was of course joking and that it was not true.

I know one thing, I would buy it for sure. He always has awesome music, but this one here really grabs me.

I encourage you (Glenn Beck) get these songs into production now. You can use the money to help save the country, and then "We will be the key". :o)))))
