I've always heard it
I've always heard it pronounced No-Nyah by Europeans and Americans alike (thought I'd throw that in there for those skeptical about Americans always mispronouncing things...so if that's wrong we're not the only ones).
I'm not against changing the theme song, but bad first impression of the new one. I vote keep looking. Come on musically-talented listeners!
Panic at the Disco < lots of stuff...
Check out Abney Road and Apocalyptica. Not that you could use them on the show or anything, but they're good and I was happy to discover them recently.
Personally, Jeff (I kissed a beer and I liked it...) should sing the theme song. Anything else after that will be pure gold.

Theme song
I used to play in a band but we sucked, so I'm not qualified. I've always been tempted to record something and send it in. If only I were less lazy. I think a Jeff and Greg duet would rock. I like big hops and I cannot lie, all you other drinkers can't deny... etc.
Sorry, I happen to be wrong
Sorry, I happen to be wrong about this one (as well as all I've heard say it before so...darn).
Greg Koch recently went and visited their brewery on his vblog and the pronunciation can be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n20MvuOR9oE where Greg says it and isn't corrected by the brewer/owner. I won't try and write it phonetically because I don't think that is possible...at least not for me.
He has the first part of his tour of Nogne up on his vblog as well, if you are interested.

Well
We Scandinavians are much more tolerant than you might think. We know we have words that don't work with the English language. When I'm speaking English there may be Danish words that I pronounce differently to match English pronounciation.
And we pronounce Nøgne Ø (the exact same spelling in both languages) in Danish, so I can't even help you with the correct Norwegian pronounciation. And I haven't listened yet, so I don't know how well it's being done.
You can always just call them Naked Island beers.
It's an outstanding Imperial Stout anyway.
Additionally
Now that I have listened to it, it's easier to comment on it :)
Ø is the same as German or Swedish Ö. Same sound more or less as French "eu"or "oe"
Pronouncing it the way that it's (mis)spelled in the show description is way off. I wouldn't have recognized it in conversation.
I have heard English ratebeerians pronounce it "nock-nuh oh" and that works. Norwegian would be something like:
nurh-gnuh oi
if you keep the r soft and don't roll on it.
Also, I'd like to tell the conservative blowhard (in this case) that yes, Imperial Stout IS a playground, and they should all try to be different. But I'll write a forum post on that
