Thank you letter from
President Clinton

From 1996 to 1999, Karma Creative founder Mark Jonathan Davis contributed comedic material and humorous remarks to a number of President Clinton's public speeches.

We also contributed comedy material to a roast of California Governor Gray Davis, and we provided proofreading services to Arizona District 15 Representative David Lujan's successful election campaign.

Let the propaganda pros at Karma Creative captivate your constituents!

In 1997, Karma Creative consultant Mark Jonathan Davis was hired to help develop attraction names, slogans, sign copy, and other themed nomenclature for Disney's new California Adventure theme park, which opened next to Disneyland on February 8, 2001 in Anaheim, California.  The park pays tribute to the state of California's diverse scenery, history, and culture.

In addition to helping invent names for many of the rides (such as "The Orange Stinger" and "King Triton's Carrousel"), restaurants (including "Burger Invasion," "Pizza Oom Mow Mow," "Taste Pilots' Grill," "Corn Dog Castle," "Catch A Flave Ice Cream,"

Our consultants/writers collaborated with WDI's creative team to script everything from menu text to themed graffiti.  In the "Cowhenga Pass" ball-toss game, Karma Creative wrote----and painted!----farm-themed taglines for the booth, including phrases like "Just Moo It," "Steer Clear," and "There's Something About Dairy."

We also contributed copy for billboard taglines, poster slogans, interior signs and visual gags for a number of areas and attractions, including "Superstar Limo," the "Greetings From California" and "Engine-Ears Toys" stores, "Mulholland Madness," and other park rides.  And, our Song Search service was utilized to develop background music playlists for the Paradise Pier, Plaza California, and Condor Flats areas.

In addition to writing for the theme park itself, Karma Creative was also hired to write ad copy, public relations materials, corporate presentations, and employee reference guides about Disney's California Adventure, Disneyland's "it's a small world" and Fantasyland areas, the new Downtown Disney shopping district, and the Disneyland Hotel complex.

Collaborating with Walt Disney Imagineering's teams of planners, designers, architects, and decorators, we worked simultaneously on numerous projects, and delivered excellence each time, on time.  From concept to planning to development to installation, Karma Creative was a key resource in the creative process, and we're proud to have helped Disney create more memorable magic in its newest theme park.

Since 1993, Karma Creative has been producing jingles and parody songs for network television promos, radio station spots, and TV shows for clients like NBC, CBS, MTV, The WB, Fox Family Channel, TVLand, Nick At Nite, and KROQ Radio.

At NBC, Karma Creative worked on-staff in the network's on-air promotions department.  We wrote parody lyrics, produced music, sang jingles, and helped edit network promos and interstitial programs, creating parody promos about sitcoms like "Friends," "Will & Grace," and "Frasier," as well as special songs for airings of "Jurassic Park" and "Twister."  These award-winning promo spots ran regularly during NBC's "Must See TV," and even aired during the Super Bowl. 

Our parodies inspired NBC to create "Johnny Chimes," a singing animated peacock mascot, which was digitally animated to synchronize with the song vocals.  The character was used extensively in on-air promos, and helped earn Karma Creative a Promax Gold Medallion Award for its production of an NBC Affiliate Marketing Presentation.

For Nick At Nite, we invented all-new lyrics to popular TV sitcom theme songs, including "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "The Bob Newhart Show," and "Bewitched."  We also created an entire parody song about "I Dream Of Jeannie," sung to the tune of Suzanne Vega's hit song "Tom's Diner."  These parodies were written, recorded, and produced by Karma Creative, and then music video promos were cut for each one.

At KROQ-FM in Los Angeles, Karma Creative contributed imaging jingles, station promos, instrumental beds, feature theme songs, spoof commercials, and other creative audio to the Kevin & Bean Morning Show.  We also produced several of the program's annual holiday albums, tracking vocals and directing the talents of celebrities such as Johnny Cash, Cindy Crawford, Phil Collins, Chris Isaak, Andy Dick, Barry White, and Tony Bennett.

In 2000, Karma Creative was hired to compose parody lyrics, produce songs, and develop musical plotlines for ABC/Disney's

animated Saturday morning series "House Of Mouse," starring Mickey Mouse and a clubful of kooky cartoon characters.  Click here to read a press release about the show.

In addition to writing new words to classic Disney songs, our creative team arranged the music tracks, recorded complete demos, and helped direct the animation voice-over actors in their recording studio performances.

Here are some samples of the songs Karma Creative wrote and arranged for the series:

• "Soup Or Salad, Fries Or Biscuits, Extra Olives, Donuts" - this peppy parody of the classic Disney tune "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" stars Goofy (in the role of befuddled waiter at The House Of Mouse nightclub) bemoaning the odd orders of his customers.
   

• "I Wanna Be Like M-O-You" - King Louie's brother Larry duets with Mickey Mouse on this "Jungle Book" tune, with an envious Larry asking Mickey for advice on how to mind his manners.
   

• Click here to read the lyrics for these songs, plus two others written for the "House Of Mouse" series, "You Can Fly, You Can Fly (Donald version)" and "A Parrot's Life For Me."

Karma Creative worked on a number of songs for the series, seven of which are available on the "Disney's House Of Mouse" soundtrack album.

More of our parody songs can be heard in this medley showcasing some of our lyric writing:

Davis also provided voice-over services for numerous attractions for Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, Walt Disney World in Florida, and the company's new DisneyQuest franchise.  In DCA's "Superstar Limo" ride, Davis plays a Hollywood announcer.  DCA's "Soarin' Over California" features Davis hollering as a fisherman and a tumbling snowboarder.  And, in the "It's A Bug's Life" attraction (located at DCA and at WDW's Animal Kingdom), Davis provides the character voices of a stink-bug-sprayed flea ("You couldn't hurt a flea!"), and a buzz-bombing hornet ("I'm goin' in for the sting!").

Also at WDW's Animal Kingdom, the voices of Davis and Karma Creative alum James Arnold Taylor can be heard as "security guards" in search of a missing dinosaur in a "Countdown To Extinction" surveillance video.  And at WDW's Magic Kingdom park, on the classic "PeopleMover" ride, Davis can be heard in a "Star Command" announcement promoting Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.  Plus, in DisneyQuest's new "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Battle For Buccaneer Gold" 3-D arcade game, Davis, Taylor, and other Karma Creative performers portray numerous pirate voices.
