The series' originally had a theme song composed by Hoyt Curtin called "Rise and Shine", which was used for the show's first two seasons and first two episodes of its third season before being changed to "Meet the Flintstones". 
The original version of "Meet the Flintstones" appeared on the 1961 album Songs of The Flintstones, which notably had different lyrics and was sung the series' main voice cast. The final version of "Meet the Flintstones" wouldn't end up being sung by the series' voice cast but instead by a group of unrelated singers and would first appear in the Season 3 Episode 3, "Barney the Invisible". It has since become one of the most famous theme songs of all time, leading to other variations and covers.

It would subsequently appear in 7 GRAND DAD, as all of the original game's music was unchanged. Covers of "Meet the Flintstones" have also appeared in other Flintstones video games.
