'''Audio Variants:'''
*From September 16-November 21, 2003 and again on July 27, 2007 and since February 15, 2009, more people muttering are heard.
*On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with "Treehouse of Horror IV", a woman screaming cowardly replaces the shush, and the logo theme is played on a synthesized pipe organ. Numerous other alternate versions of the theme have been used over the years (see "Variants" above). Earlier ToH installments lacked some parts of the audio (the very first "Halloween of Horror" episode uses the standard theme, while the second and third ones have only the organ). On "Treehouse of Horror XXI" (2010), the woman's scream is replaced with a low-quality 8-bit sound file of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream Wilhelm scream].
*Some episodes might use a soundbite from the episode, or use a voiceover from a character in that episode that plays alongside the jingle. Others have sound effects and/or voiceovers completely replacing the sound effects.
*On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Lisa the Vegetarian", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo. This includes some syndication prints that shift the closing music so it starts after the last commercial break, causing the music to end over the logo.
*The ''Simpsons'' episodes "Fat Man and Little Boy" and "Homer the Father" feature a low tone version of the jingle.
*On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (as a result, the "Shhh!" sound effect plays right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard at the start of the logo). With the show's cable debut on FXX on August 21, 2014 (when the ''Every Simpsons Ever'' marathon began), new syndication prints which are cropped (with some parts stretched) to fill the 16:9 screen now feature two credit cards for the Spanish Language audio track in between the copyright card and the Gracie Films logo, so now this is not seen on the new syndication prints. However, this is preserved on the DVD releases, older local syndication prints, and on [[Disney+ Originals|Disney+]] (4:3 option must be selected).
*A shorter version is found on ''Sibs'' and ''Phenom'', which cuts off the murmuring along with the "Shhh!".
*ABC airings of ''What About Joan'' use a generic theme.
*On the first three seasons of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'', the jingle is slightly high-pitched. Furthermore, throughout the first season, the last note of the jingle is extended.
*
*On FXX airings of ''The Simpsons'' episode "Days of Future Future", this logo has the audio from the [[20th Television]] logo playing over this. This logo's audio was heard over the Spanish cast credits and the 20th Television logo played silently. This was likely caused by an editing goof.
*Sometimes, a certain tune plays over the entire logo, with no sound effects heard. This most recently occurred on ''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Barthood".
*On the ''Family Guy'' episode "The Simpsons Guy", Peter Griffin (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) sings along with the theme with new lyrics; "And now, the show is over now!".
*Due to Ricky Gervais' dialogue during the credits going over half of the logo, the ''Simpsons'' episode "Angry Dad: The Movie" uses an abridged version of the jingle, composed of the first four notes and the final note. There is also no "Shhh!" in this version. However, the logo is not interrupted on FXX's airing of this episode due to the SAP credits at the end.
*''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" features a slightly abridged version of the Halloween organ music. Due to the standard scream being replaced with Homerzilla's roar, the music comes in halfway through the logo with the music finishing up over the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" screen, so the last note, usually held down, plays for the same length as the normal piano tune.
*''The Simpsons'' season 28 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVII" (which, coincidentally, is the show's 600th episode) also uses the same abridged version from the previously mentioned episode - however, while the previous one used a long, loud roar which causes the music to come in late, the standard scream is played, but it comes in late (after the "Shhh!" gesture is made), resulting in the music playing late.
*On Fox reruns of the ''Simpsons'' episode "What to Expect When Bart's Expecting", a high-pitched version of the music is sometimes used.
