Music Festival, Chance the Rapper proved once again that he’s spectacularly awesome by treating the crowd to a cover of the _Arthur_ theme. No, no, not “[Arthur’s Theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMdwFkO8xA0 "undefined")” from the 1981 film _Arthur._ We’re talking about the theme song — originally performed by Ziggy Marley — from the PBS children’s show about an anthropomorphic aardvark. Yup. Seriously, though, Chance’s cover of this beloved tune is quite beautiful. Enjoy! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2800727/chance-the-rapper-covers-arthur-theme-song/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2800727/chance-the-rapper-covers-arthur-theme-song/"},"headline":"It's a Wonderful Kind of Day When Chance the Rapper Covers the Arthur Theme Song","datePublished":"2014-05-30T19:44:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:12.038Z","description":"You got to listen to your heart, listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street.
