Music/Sounds Variants: This is a list of the audio variants for the logo:

  • Episodes 2, 5, 10, 13, 14 and 15: A short, sparkling chime arpeggio is heard followed by a Japanese yell.
  • ”I Love Nitzke”: A held-long guitar note with a Freddie Mercury-esque singer saying “Woo!”.
  • ”Jeremiah was a Bullfrog”: A frog (voiced by Tim Curry) croaking twice.
  • ”Living Doll”: A man exclaiming “Aho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoy mateys!”
  • The series finale (the episode “Look Ma, No Face”) uses a synth-brass tune.
