Swapping The Themes Of 'Parks And Rec' And 'The Office' Is Strangely Perfect

    Pawnee, meet Scranton.

    This YouTube video from 2013 takes the theme songs of Parks and Recreation and The Office and switches them, creating a confusing hodge-podge of feelings.

    The springy, light theme song of Parks and Recreation makes Dunder-Mifflin actually seem welcoming.

    Michael Scott looks like a hard-working, competent boss that inspires his workers to change the world.

    Jim and Pam, of course, are adorable as always.

    Aw! Even the little water cooler is inspired to be on this scrappy, ragtag band of go-getters!

    Meanwhile.... over in Pawnee...

    Lesley Knope starts to look kind of awkward and incompetent with The Office's wailing theme song.

    Doesn't Tom Haverford seem like such a pain when paired with that discordant synth?

    Ron Swanson is the nightmare boss that Michael was in the first seasons, except libertarian.

    Ugh, and can you imagine working with this snotty intern?

    Seriously. It's weird. It'll make you feel weird.
