hey new here, wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the piece of music that plays in the episode where homer runs for sanitiation commissioner (has steve martin and U2). it plays as steve martin enters and exits the city hall after homer has screwed everything up. i gather it's the theme tune to some US sitcom as i've seen it used in futurama and friends as well. thanks to anyone who can tell me the name of the tv show or song.

That's no answer. The answer is "Sanford and Son."

It was the theme to Sanford & Son, a sitcom involving a junkyard business run by father & son. Not sure if it had a formal name.

Bit of trivia for those who may not already know ... Sanford & Son is the American version of the UK program Steptoe & Son.
