===KK*===
Every Saturday night you can find [[character:KK Slider]] at a set location which depends on the game. KK will offer to play you a song, which you will get a version of to play in any music items you have in your house.

===Town Theme===
Every //Animal Crossing// game lets you make your own town theme jungle, which will play on the hour. Songs are represented by evenly spaced notes---which can be lengthened---on a staff, as well as rests.
==Examples==
Here are some town themes from the SB community. You may need to use your ear to get the right notes.\\ '**-**' means 'hold/sustain', '**x**' means 'rest', and '**?**' stands for the 'random' note.
