Summary
- Matt Groening secretly sang on The Simpsons theme song.
- The iconic choir vocals in the intro needed last-minute fixes.
- Groening's voice was immortalized in the show's legendary opening sequence.
The iconic opening theme song for "The Simpsons," created by Danny Elfman, features a memorable choir announcing the show's title. However, creator Matt Groening's own voice is also secretly part of this legendary sequence. Originally, the choir's vocals were not quite right, leading to last-minute adjustments during recording sessions.
During these sessions with Elfman and the orchestra, Groening was asked to contribute. He later revealed he sang on the theme, specifically referencing the famous opening moments where the title emerges through clouds. This personal contribution means Groening's voice is immortalized in the intro that debuted with the series' second episode on December 17, 1989.
