When a dubbing company wants to market a television show, film, or video game from another country, they'll do the usual stuff like translation and localization. But they've got one problem with it: the theme song. Sometimes when translating a media product, the localization company may change the opening and/or ending theme song for their home country. So what do they do about this? Instead of [[TranslatedCoverVersion dubbing the original song]], they'll replace it with a completely different theme song, of course!
