It's good work

I’d have to see Chuck first.
Oh if it's him personally, I'm not interested. I was hoping there would be a selection.
-
Which one ?
I guess the first is "blue is the warmest color"
Second and third idk
I'd assume the second was a reference to the song...
The third obviously a pun on "New Beginnings." It's a reference to it being both the first episode of the first season but also the re-opening of the restaraunt.

Also some of the music in this show is great. I think my favorite might be the one in the episode where Bob is stuck to the toilet.
Just amazing talent all around with that show.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Might not be my favorite music in the show but my favorite story about the music in the show.
I forget where I heard it but I listened to the creator of the show talk about making the intro song and he ended up doing something that I both admire a lot and find genuinely hilarious.
If you're a musician you may have experienced or be familiar with the idea of chasing the demo. If not, a quick definition is trying to recapture the vibe or quality of an initial rough recording when you're laying down final professionally recorded takes.
When the creator was trying to figure out an intro for the show he was screwing around on his ukulele just trying to find like a fun chord progression. He found one he liked and quickly recorded it on his phone. The plan was to just use that recording as a jumping off point he would take and flesh out with more "serious" instruments and recording techniques later on. The thing was, nothing they did captured how that initial phone recording felt. Now, This isn't abnormal. It happens all the time in fact. Normally youd just suck it up and get as close as you can while maintaining the quality of your recordings. Because you just can't use a cruddy recording on a professional production. After all, nobody outside of who made the song will know that you failed to match the exact vibes of your rough phone recording. So they did the most logical thing and used the low quality phone recording as the FOUNDATION FOR THE FINAL INTRO.
And when you listen you can totally tell. Especially if youre like me and have recorded an untold number of rough takes on your phone over the years. It's clearly a phone recording riddled with those telltale phone recording artifacts.
But y'know what? He was right. It totally works. It's frankly a great intro and I couldn't imagine the show with a different one.
Edit: I figured out where I heard it. Episode 8 of The Song Exploder podcast.
Really great podcast in general if you're at all interested in music production.

I dropped the show because of too much singing. The songs were great but it really dislike that kind of stuff.
I'm also generally not a fan of musicals, but I feel like the show as a whole is still great.

Oh, I thought they were all references to movies
-
Yeah I know the first the other two allude me.
"allude" haha
I think you meant elude, but the homophone makes it funnier.
-
That first pretty crazy to reference, wno all would know that movie?
Bob always insists that his ideas for specials are perfect, and often chooses references that are too obscure, or just inappropriate for a family diner.
Sometimes a string of better ideas get quoted by various other characters, throughout the episode.
So the writers give Bob their worst (least appropriate) idea, each episode.
Sadly, many of the better ones don't become signs for screenshots, because Bob cannot admit when he is wrong.

Just amazing talent all around with that show.
It's such a shame that they've clearly scaled back the amount of music (musical scenes) in the episodes.

Bad things happen in the bathroom...
Yeah the music is on point, and the burger of the day and store names are great.

Hard disagree, I find the song episodes tedious and painful...

"sign jokes" are probably written by "the room". Everyone tosses out 2-3, and the whoever is running the room for that episode picks one. They might even keep a backlog for these since they don't really have to be related to the episode plots/topics. Simpsons and Futurama also have them in many episodes, but Bob's Burger's is the only show I know that always has one (two if you count the "Burger of the Day").

And that exterminator truck too.

Normally I'm the same way, but some of the songs on this show are good enough to justify it for me.

They must not be very good businesses though. They change every episode!

The people that open these businesses are punners first and business people second

Yeah the song numbers are generally a bit cringe for me too. Some of them are genuinely funny but most of them just make me want them to get on with the damn episode.
-
This is one of the few shows where I never skip the intro. Sometimes I even rewind, because I missed either the pun on the storefront or on the van.
I loved the sinkhole before the movie came out.

There's a new season, happy days.
