Ashley's Theme first appears in Mona's story. When [[Ken the Reporter|Ken the VJ]] lists [[Bridget the Baker|Luna]] during the countdown, she sings a small portion of the song. It primarily plays during Ashley's stage in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' and is also one of the [[Turntable]] souvenir's three playable songs. An instrumental excerpt of the theme can be heard in part of the staff credits music.

There were some issues over Ashley's English theme. If the record is spun fast enough in the Turntable souvenir during the first solo, it would supposedly come out with the words "I have granted kids to [[Hell]]." However, Nintendo and ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' both stated that it was an accident and the words come out like that due to it meshing pieces of the song together.<ref>{{cite|quote="We've received a lot of letters about this. What happens when you use the fast-forward function is that it skips most of the words in the song, playing only certain syllables. The fact that those syllables form the phrase you mentioned is just a (very) creepy coincidence."|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 193|page=12|date=July 2005|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> The real words are as the following:

==Trivia==
{{foreign names
*If the lines in the Japanese version of Ashley's spells are read backwards, it says "''umeido in uario ijū nanuba wan''", or "Made in Wario Is Number One" ("''Made in Wario''" is the Japanese title of "''WarioWare''" games):
|Jap=アシュリーのテーマ
|JapR=Ashurī no Tēma
|JapM=Ashley's Theme
|ChiS=阿什莉之歌
|ChiSR=Āshílì zhī Gē
|ChiSM=Ashley's Song
|SpaA=Ashley's Theme
}}


==Trivia==
*The names of the spells Ashley casts in the Japanese version of the song are derived from reversing メイドインワリオイズナンバーワン (''Meido in Wario izu Nanbā Wan''), or "Made in Wario is Number One". (''Made in Wario'' is the Japanese title of the ''WarioWare'' series.) Rather than reversing each Japanese kana, the letters of the romanization are reversed, and then this phrase is approximated back into kana.

*In the English version of this verse, Ashley lists "eye of newt" as an implied ingredient in her spell. This is a reference to a popular scene from [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''{{iw|wikipedia|Macbeth}}'' where the {{iw|wikipedia|Three Witches}} recite it as an ingredient in a potion.
*The Japanese version of Ashley's Theme has Ashley's voice be very high-pitched, which is alluded to by the song's English description in ''Gold''. All of Ashley's later appearances (except ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'') has her Japanese voicing be more downbeat akin to the English voicing, with ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' using her English voicing verbatim.

*During Mona's stage in ''WarioWare: Touched!'', a girl named Luna was the singer of Ashley's theme, as seen in Vanessa's television.
