31 Gumshoe (Whoooooop!)

Notes

JP: Following the trail of a fourth-rate criminal of a third-rate film, sung by a second-rate Disney villain, it gives me much pleasure to cover the criminally underrated, first-rate detective pal to all, Gumshoe! With the wonderful reception we got for my partner’s TV parodies, I’m hoping to be so lucky with my own take of our third television theme song, this one from the iconic, ever-catchy DuckTales series. In spite of being Canadian guys, I am NOT apologizing for any lingering earworms this song causes! (Feel free to sing along loud and proud to this one – everybody knows the timeless melody!) 🙂

CT: Scrooge McDuck is the world’s richest duck, so how about we tackle the other end of the spectrum and focus on the world’s poorest detective? With how Gumshoe remains so determined and happy-go-lucky despite everything he’s been through, he more than deserves his own theme song.

“Gumshoe (Whoooooop!)“
Sung to the theme tune of Disney’s
DuckTales (2017)

[“Stop being such a stick in the mud, Edgeworth!” Phoenix cajoled the unsmiling prosecutor. “You know that I know that you know that I know that you at least owe this much to your subordinate!”]

[“Come on, Mr. Edgeworth!” Maya coaxed, nudging the cravat-wearing man in the ribs. “It’s not like our pal is asking for much in return for saving the day… Just one little theme song to be sung in his honor!”

[“I refuse to partake in such cockamamie nonsense, Miss Fey.” Edgeworth stubbornly folded his arms across his chest, his granite expression resembling one of the stone faces of Mount Rushmore. “I am most grateful to Detective Gumshoe for saving the day by giving you two the metal detector, which ended up convicting Manfred Von Karma. However, I am an esteemed High Prosecutor, hence must maintain the dignity of my office…”]

[Gumshoe simply eyed affixed his superior with the mother of all wounded puppy dog expressions, prompting Edgeworth to finally shut his eyes and heave a long-suffering sigh.]

[“Very well. Perhaps … I can sing the background chorus if it pleases you all…”]

[“Perfect!” Maya chirped, thrusting the karaoke microphone at him. “Nick, Larry and I will do all the main verses… All you need to do in the background is sing ‘Gumshoe… (Whoooooop!)’ alright?”]

[“Whoooooop! Detective Gumshooooe?” Edgeworth looked pained. “I feel so bloody foolish…]

[“Too late, Edgey!” Larry guffawed loudly, clapping the stoic man on the back. “You’ve already agreed to it!”]

[“Also, it’s not ‘Whoooooop! Detective Gumshooooe’, Edgeworth.” Phoenix smirked at his courtroom rival. [“It’s Gumshoe…(Whoooooop!)”]

[“How nice of you to clarify the order, Wright. That’s now much more dignified!”]

[“Let’s rock this place!” Maya cut in, winking at the beaming, scruffy flatfoot in the audience as she grabbed her mike. “Gumshoe, pal, this one’s for you!”]
