Ashley's Theme

Ashley's Theme (known as Ashley's Song in the Super Smash Bros. series) is Ashley's theme song that debuted in WarioWare: Touched! The theme was composed by Masaru Tajima. The melody of the song would become a recurrent theme in the WarioWare series, associated with Ashley herself.

WarioWare: Touched!
Ashley's Theme first appears in Mona's story. When Ken the VJ lists Luna during the countdown, she sings a small portion of the song. It primarily plays during Ashley's stage in WarioWare: Touched! and is also one of the Turntable souvenir's three playable songs. An instrumental excerpt of the theme can be heard in part of the staff credits music.

English lyrics
CHORUS: Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion?

ASHLEY: You'd better learn my name, 'cause I am

CHORUS: Ah-ash-ley

She knows the darkest spells, and she brews the meanest potions

ASHLEY: You might be the ingredient I seek

CHORUS: Don't let yourself be fooled by her innocent demeanor

ASHLEY: You should be afraid of the great

CHORUS: Ah-ash-ley

She doesn't play with dolls, and she never combs her hair

ASHLEY: Who has time for girly things like that?

ASHLEY: Eye of newt, I cast a hex on you
 * Grandma's wig, this will make you big
 * Kitten spit, soon your pants won't fit
 * Pantalones giganticus!
 * Oh, no, not again...

CHORUS: She can rule the world, and still finish all her homework

ASHLEY: Everyone knows that I'm the greatest

CHORUS: Ah-ash-ley

You'd better watch your step, or she'll cast a spell on you

ASHLEY: I turned my teacher into a spoon

ASHLEY: I'm a slave to my spell book, and, yes, it's true
 * I don't have as many friends as you
 * But I think you're nice, and maybe we could be friends
 * And if you say "no," you're toast

CHORUS: Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion?

ASHLEY: You'd better learn my name, 'cause I am

CHORUS: Ah-ash-ley

Just remember this when you see her on the street

ASHLEY: I'm the cruelest girl you'll ever meet

Game & Wario
The three level theme songs (collectively titled Ashley's ☆ Revolution) in the Ashley minigame of Game & Wario are instrumental rearrangements of the song.

WarioWare Gold
A less compressed version of the original theme (both English and Japanese versions) played at a faster tempo is a record in the Toy Room in WarioWare Gold. (The original uncompressed vocal tracks are used, but the instrument tracks are new.) The game also introduces a new instrumental arrangement, used in the Pumpkin Panic minigame.

WarioWare: Get It Together!
While the song itself does not appear in WarioWare: Get It Together!, an instrumental version of the first half of the first verse can be heard in the music that plays during Ashley's portion of the staff credits.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl includes two arrangements of Ashley's Theme with English and Japanese lyrics, which play on the WarioWare, Inc. stage. These versions are performed in an upbeat, jazzy style, although there are a couple lyrical differences between the English version and the original song. Both versions were arranged by Tomoko Sasaki, with Ashley's vocals provided by Emily McIntosh and chorus vocals by Terry Lauber and James Cowan in the English version, and Ashley's vocals provided by Sasaki and chorus vocals by the Small Circle of Friends in the Japanese version. The English and Japanese arrangements reappear in the Western and Japanese versions of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, respectively, on the same stage as an alternate song, while both arrangements reappear in all versions of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on the Gamer stage and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in both Wario stages.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U adds a brand new Japanese arrangement. The music is closer to the original theme, but the chorus has women in it, and Ashley is portrayed by someone older. This version was arranged by, with Ashley's vocals provided by Nami Nakagawa. The arrangement was later featured in all versions of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Band Brothers series
The Japanese version of Ashley's Theme is part of the track list of Daigasso! Band Brothers and it was made available as free downloadable content for the Japanese version of Jam with the Band. A downloadable PDF partition of Ashley's Theme was also released to promote the release of the original ''Daigasso! Band Brothers''. A music video for Ashley's Theme was released for ''Daigasso! Band Brothers P'' on July 31, 2015.

Controversy
There were some issues over Ashley's English theme. If the record is spun fast enough in the Turntable souvenir during the first solo, it would supposedly come out with the words "I have granted kids to Hell." However, Nintendo and Nintendo Power both stated that it was an accident and the words come out like that due to it meshing pieces of the song together. The real words are as the following: Eye of newt, I cast a hex on you Grandma's wig, this will make you big Kitten spit, soon your pants won't fit Pantalones giganticus! These words form a sentence like "Eye of grand this kitt soo pan," which is misheard as "I have granted kids to Hell."

Descriptions

 * "Ashley's theme song from WarioWare: Touched!, and just like her, it's brimming with charm...and a hint of darkness! How many magic spells do you recognize in the lyrics?" (WarioWare Gold)
 * "Ashley's theme song from the Japanese version of WarioWare: Touched! is not quite as dark as the original, is it?" (WarioWare Gold)

Trivia

 * If the lines in the Japanese version of Ashley's spells are read backwards, it says "umeido in uario ijū nanuba wan", or "Made in Wario Is Number One" ("Made in Wario" is the Japanese title of "WarioWare" games).
