    Including the title track or whatchamacallit? Because that is pure genius. Never gets boring.

    Thank you.

      The theme was written by Danny Elfman

        Fun fact: he gets more money from that theme than anything else by far, in part because he sings “The Simpsons” at the beginning of the theme, which counts as performance royalties. He wrote the whole thing in four hours.

      Nah the theme songs a Danny Elfman original, I’m pretty sure he was the one who scored the music for the scenes and a couple of the songs from the show.

        Clausen did the lion’s share of the albums iirc because he did the bulk of the work for the first 20 years
