Why is the music for the closing titles so crap?? No matter how many times I hear it I just can't get to like it. First time I heard it I thought they'd deliberately composed a crap tune to play out with. Now x seasons later I still can't think of a better reason.

Anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks, I must find out more about this Primus band so I can calculate the point on the earth the furthest away from them so I can go live there!!

EVeryone knows Primus sucks. Even Primus, whose web site is Primussucks.com

So how about that, smarty pants!

Besides - you don't like the opening theme song? Primus did it. And you can't really say you don't like them until you've heard "Winona's Big Brown Beaver". Now THAT'S good music!

I can't believe you've been watching the show this whole time and never heard of Primus, since they're in the credits every week for the theme song... not to mention their onstage appearence in Chef Aid (and on the album).

They've been around since the mid to late 80's, I believe. Sort of country-alternative sound, I guess you'd call it. Most anyone who listens to hard rock or alternative radio would have heard of them, I think. Most well known songs are My Name is Mud, Winona's Big Brown Beaver, Mr. Krinkle, Here Come the Bastards, Jerry Was a Race car Driver, and a remake of Black Sabbath's MIB with Ozzy on vocals.

While "Winona's Big Brown Beaver" is a great song, it's no "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver". In my mind anything off Sailing the Seas of Cheese

Pork Soda is so repulsive.

They're from the Eastern Side of the SF Bay. I was at Berkeley in the late 80's and they were one of the many local bands I got to see. Though I have a special place in my heart for Les and crew, they were the last group I expected to ever have any kind of affect beyond the drugged out Berkeleyites I spent my college days with. I remember clearly what a friend said to me before my first Primus show, "this music will fuck you up". I was afraid to take drugs and see or listen to Primus.
