Some themes have been so cryptic, that they send me searching the internet to figure out.
How about something simple, "Dude, Where's My Bike".

I think it may be one of AntiM's previous theme suggestions, but I still sort of like...

Poke it with a stick
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters

Sounds good to me. There hasn’t been a musical tie in, harmonious, chords, lots of layers, even as a pun. ;). The Dodgers had a great bleacher band called the Sym-phony.

Re: Molotov’s suggestion . It reminded me of Robert Fulgham’s book, the title taken from the statement of a man awakened and saved from a house fire started from his mattress (iirc): “ It was on fire when I lay down on it.”
”On second thought, Let’s not go to Camelot. It’s a silly place.”

Re: THEME SUGGESTIONS FOR 1939, again...

Covering 1,216 acres, in Flushing Meadows, New York, the 1939 New York World’s Fair, like the legendary Phoenix rising from the ashes, was erected on what was an ash-dump. The theme, “Building the World of Tomorrow” echoed in virtually every corner of the Fair.

This World’s Fair was a look to the future and was planned to be “everyman’s fair” where everyone would be able to see what could be attained for himself and his community.

Within six months of the Fair’s opening, the Second World War would begin, an event that lasted six years and resulted in the deaths of over 50 million people.

I think you are onto something! We could have pavilions!

The Saudi Aramco pavilion, the China pavilion, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy. And we could have the Tesla pavilion, the Meta pavilion, the Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and Disney pavilions. I think ChatGPT should sponsor the Barbie Death Village and then all the Barbies could converse with the humans.

Many art projects, Wall Street in 1998, and camps are parodies. So the inspirational corporations should pay money to eat the parodies.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the Teletubbies saying, “Come and see.”

And I looked, and behold, a white Teletubby: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second Teletubby say, “Come and see.”

And there went out another Teletubby that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third Teletubby say, “Come and see.”

And I beheld, and lo a black Teletubby; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four Teletubbies say, “A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth Teletubby say, “Come and see.”

And I looked, and behold, a pale Teletubby: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
