The music springboards off this misleadingly calm opening and catapults into a chaotic world of musical madness. Another song I’m putting on here because it has to be on here. The music opens with a choir singing a tritone interval, otherwise known as the devil's interval. It’s fair to say that Danny Elfman is a musical genius – not only can he write a catchy tune, but to score it for an entire symphony orchestra, choir, car horn and school bell in a key that’s constantly changing is almost unheard of.

No one's ever put a list of musical themes, adapted or original, in a list before, so I thought I'd be the first All are whistled solo, not part of any songs, and while most are from movies, there are two from TV, and one from the golden days of radio.
