| name = There She Is, Miss America | artist = Bernie Wayne | written = 1954 | released = {{Start date|1955|09|11}} | genre = Theme song | writer = Bernie Wayne }} "There She Is, Miss America" is a song written by songwriter Bernie Wayne for the Miss America pageant. It was first made famous in 1955 by master of ceremonies Bert Parks who sang it every year until his firing in 1979. The song is sometimes referred to as: "There She Is" or simply "Miss America." HistoryBernie Wayne wrote "There She Is" in 1954 (while getting a haircut)[1] for a show that aired on the Philco Television Playhouse called "The Miss America Story", starring Lee Meriwether and Johnny Desmond. Desmond introduced the song when Meriwether won the pageant.[1] On September 11, 1955, Bert Parks, who was hired by the Miss America pageant to host the ceremonies, sang the song to Meriwether who won the pageant that same year. In 1977, the band Styx referenced the theme in their song "Miss America" from the album "The Grand Illusion".[2] In 1982, there was a disagreement over royalties with the Miss America pageant, which resulted in the song not being used again until 1985. Master of Ceremonies, Parks sang the song every year from 1955 until 1979 when he was suddenly dismissed from his duties. In 1980, pageant chairman Albert Mark, Jr fielded complaints regarding the decision to replace Parks.[3] On account of the backlash from Park's being let go and the song's absence, the Miss America pageant attempted to entice Parks back to sing his trademark song at the 1986 ceremonies, but he refused. Other famous names in the industry were scouted to take over for Parks, but they all declined. Television host John Davidson even was quoted as saying: "I wouldn’t sing that lousy song for a million dollars".[3] In his stead, Parks’ recording he made in 1955 singing "There She Is, Miss America" would still be featured on the show until 2012. Wayne died in 1993. His widow brought suit against the pageant in 2013 for claims that they did not license the song for the 2011 and 2012 season. The suit was settled out of court without term disclosures.[4] In 2015, it was announced that the song would once again be performed to celebrate the crowning of Miss America 2016 with host Vanessa Williams.[5] Other uses
