Family Plots Theme

[brookwood]

Does anybody know if the Family Plots theme song was done for the show or if it was a real song? If the latter, does anyone know what that song name is?



-Rob

[Maveno]

It wasn't done for the show, it's actually (sort of) an old song. Squirrel Nut Zippers is the name of the band.
Here's the song and the lyrics....

Hell

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay.

Chorus: In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet

This is a place where enternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around

Chorus

Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement,
Top skill and brains
But all the things you tried to hide
Will be revealed on the other side

Chorus

Now the D, and the A, and the M
And the N, and the A, and the T
And the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

Now the D, and the A, and the M
And the N, and the A, and the T
And the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame!
