Arthur Theme Song A song to truly brighten your day is what "Wonderful Everyday" is, thanks to Chance The Rapper. The song samples the hit family cartoon series "Arthur," which every 90s baby should be able to relate to. Good job Chance for giving music another inspiring song!

More music from Chance & The Social Experiment soon to come!
