Creator Olan Rogers hired Elfman personally to write the theme song. He gave him a concept of what he wanted as well as a mixtape of songs that he wanted the theme to sound like. Olan put the concept of the song like this, "The trend in TV themes for the previous 15 years had been namby-pamby synthesizer schlock that seemed to whimper, 'We can't offer you much, but please like our pathetic little show.' I wanted a big orchestrated, obnoxious, arrogant theme that promised you the best time of your life." The theme won the National Music Award for "Favorite TV Theme" in 2002, and has won the BMI TV Music Award in 2018, 2019, and 2020. In 2018, the theme was nominated for the Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement in Main Title Theme Music".
