Here's song we invented many years ago that we call the Puppeteers  
National Anthem:

I'm a puppeteer!
I'm a puppeteer!
I don't know fear and I drink lots of beer!
I'm strong as an ox, swift as a deer!
I'm a puppeteer, puppeteer!

We still sing it off and on and are proud of it.
I can't imagine how the Live Animators Anthem would go.
