WikiProject Theme Songs

Mission

[edit]

This WikiProject aims to unify the description of theme songs for a whole array of movies, television series and other animation pieces. Optimally, it should conform to the Manual of Style and potentially be added thereto. It should be simple enough that it can support American, British, Japanese, et al. movies and television shows.
