About the record

In 1989 Matt Groening asked Danny Elfman for an opening theme, and Elfman found the tune in his car on the drive home from that meeting. He recorded a demo the same day, and the choir that sings "The Simpsons" at the top is Elfman himself with two friends.

"The Monorail Song" belongs to "Marge vs. the Monorail," the 1993 season-four episode Conan O'Brien wrote. It borrows the shape of "Ya Got Trouble" from The Music Man, as the smooth-talking Lyle Lanley sells Springfield a monorail it never needed.
