194 “TAPESTRY OF DREAMS”<br />

number seven on the charts and sold more than seven hundred thousand<br />

discs. Kristen Bell made a snappy recording of the pop song in 2003.<br />

“Tapestry of Dreams” is the hypnotic, ritualistic song that was heard<br />

during the Tapestry of Nations parade held at Epcot to celebrate the new<br />

millennium. Much of the musical piece is rhythmic chanting of sounds and<br />

foreign phrases accompanied by drumming, but at times a chorus is heard<br />

singing about using one’s imagination and envisioning a world where all nations<br />

live in harmony. Although the number was used only during the year<br />

2000, millions of spectators at the park heard the engrossing piece and can<br />

still recall it vividly.<br />

“Teacher’s Pet” is the pop title ballad by Joe Lubin for the 2000 animated<br />

television series about a dog who disguises himself as a boy so he can go to<br />

school. Christy Carlson Romano sings the seductive but silly bubblegum kind<br />

of song, wanting to be the best in the class in order to win the heart of the<br />

teacher. Romano reprises the number over the end credits of the 2004 film<br />

version of Teacher’s Pet, and she made a music video of the song as well.<br />

“Team Sandwich” is the rapping rock song by Brock Walsh that was turned<br />

Hull High (1990). In the locker room before a high school football game, the<br />

in a football team are like the layers of a sandwich. <strong>The</strong> number then bursts<br />

into an exciting display of break dancing, warm-up exercises, and leaping over<br />

lockers and benches. <strong>The</strong> sequence was staged by Kenny Ortega, who later<br />

performed similar magic in High School Musical (2006) and its sequels.<br />

“Teamo Supremo <strong>The</strong>me” is the jazzy, rock-flavored theme song for<br />

the animated television series Teamo Supremo (2004), about three kid<br />

superheroes who save the planet in between going to school and doing<br />

their homework. Ian Dye wrote the pounding number that introduces the<br />

pint-size Captain Crandall, Rope Girl, and Skate Lad each week during the<br />

action-packed opening credits.<br />

“Temper, Temper” is the nightmarish song of caution written by George<br />

Stiles and Anthony Drewe for the London stage version of Mary Poppins<br />

(2004). <strong>The</strong> toys and dolls in the children’s nursery come to life, taking on<br />

huge proportions, and haunt the young Jane and Michael Banks because<br />

they have lost their temper on occasion. <strong>The</strong> odd, menacing number takes
