How good was last night’s Game of Thrones? So much to like… There was a scene where the Brotherhood Without Banners were on the march singing a jovial tune. The song is a classic slice of Westerosianna…. “The Bear and The Maiden Fair.”
During the credits a modern rendition is sung by The Hold Steady. Spin Magazine talks about show producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss tapping the Hold Steady to record fantastical tune.
“[‘The Bear & the Maiden Fair’] is one of the most popular songs in Westeros, beloved by nobles and commoners alike, sung at taverns and feasts and etc,” Benioff and Weiss told Entertainment Weekly recently. “We wanted our rendition to be bawdy and a little sloppy — drunken musicians getting up on the table and jamming while the rowdy party continues around them.”
A bear, a BEAR!
Go with yourself.

I think you’ve got a new Bear Week theme song for your show.
