[edit] Theme song
The official 1986 Drupa theme song was nominated as one of the worst corporate anthems ever by The Register. The song featured a country folk style.
In 2000 the theme song concept was resurrected with a dance/pop power ballad, while in 2004 the theme song used a techno dance style.
