If you ignore the whole seeming shoujo concept of the arrogant guy and the plucky girl who tags along and acts as both comic relief and love interest (the latter, to my utter relief, does not happen in the anime), it's actually pretty creepy at times (especially in Arc 7). <br /><br />With that in mind, have some fairly cheesy tracks for it. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/8dcx7c">Matthew Sweet - Scooby Doo, Where Are You?</a><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/sg6kn6">Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost of Stephen Foster</a><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/nldj2k">Jonathan Coulton - Creepy Doll</a><br />[I've used this last track before, but it's too good for one of the episode arcs not to use it]
