Charlie's Here

From Club Penguin Music

Charlie's Here, best known as the Pizza Parlor theme, is a stock song composed by Skip Peck, released in the album Jazz Piano on Hold Vol 1 and published by Squeedle Publishing-BMI[1][2]. Its use as the Pizza Parlor theme has made it one of the most popular tracks from the game, with YouTube uploads of the song surpassing the million mark[3][4][5].

The song is no longer available for purchase, although it used to be available under the album "Uplifting Ideas" on SmartSound, as well as on RoyaltyFreeMusic.com, Studio Cutz and later on Getty Images, until Epidemic Sounds bought the website.

Song's Publishing[edit]

Although the song is no longer available for purchase anywhere, it was originally a stock song published by Squeedle Publishing-BMI. However Skip Peck stated that Disney is the company responsible for publishing it[6]. Disney could not have originally published it, and the song was bought into Club Penguin before Disney's purchase, so this means that Disney became the publisher after the song no longer became available for purchase.
