VeggieTales Theme Song

The **VeggieTales Theme Song** is the opening song used as the introduction for the VeggieTales series.

The VeggieTales Theme Song has had many different versions and been performed many times over the years, but has generally remained the same over time.

## Openings

### 1993

The first opening begins with the opening credits appearing over a “white void” background with the following text:

* Big Idea Productions Presents
* VeggieTales (the show's logo)
* Created by Phil Vischer and Michael Nawrocki

Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber talk offscreen while the credits fade in and out onscreen. The conversation consists of Bob and Larry figuring out how to perform the theme song. Bob suggests that Larry play it on a guitar, but Larry reminds him that he doesn't have any hands. Bob then ambiguously suggests another unnamed instrument, but Larry refuses because he thinks it will make him look silly. Once Bob reminds him that they’re doing this for the kids watching, Larry agrees to perform the song. Larry then pops his head into view from the left side of the screen with a large sousaphone, finally revealing the instrument alluded to before. He smiles at the viewers, hops to the center of the white void, and finally begins playing the intro of the song (with a couple mistakes here and there).

What follows is Bob hopping into frame, singing the song and swaying along with his cucumber friend. After Bob finishes his first verse, he leans in to the camera with a big, toothy grin says his iconic line, “Have we got a show for you”. Larry leans into view from behind Bob and nodding his head with a smile.

It then transitions to a clip montage played over an up-tempo chorus of male and females voices (Lisa Vischer, Phil Vischer, and Kurt Heinecke, respectively). The montage features clips from the show, followed by three refrains of the chorus. At the end of each refrain, it cuts from the clip montage to a shot of Mom, Dad and Junior Asparagus joining Bob and Larry in the white void. The tempo increases with each refrain.

After more clips are played, it transitions to the bridge, leading to the end of the song where we see the Veggies altogether in the white void exclaiming "It’s time for VeggieTales!", followed by lots of confetti flowers falling over them as they sing. As the song finally ends, Larry runs out of breath while playing his sousaphone and faints. He plays one final bum note, which blows some confetti flowers out of the sousaphone’s bell. All the Veggies look at the camera and smile as children are heard laughing from offscreen.

This version was only used on the original 1993 VHS release of "Where’s God When I’m S-Scared?."

### 1994-1997

The second version of the opening is very much the same as the first version, but has the following significant differences:

* The shot where Bob says “Have we got a show for you”, is cut short; removing the part where Larry nods from behind him.
* The various shots in the clip montage have been re-edited, with portions of certain clips cut out or replaced by others.
* When "God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!" was first released, new clips from the episode were added to the montage.
* The song gains new lyrics and three solos sung by Bob, Junior and Larry, respectively. The new verses are now sung over the refrains from before, turning those refrains into backing vocals.

This version was used for *VeggieTales* episodes released on VHS from 1994 to 1997. This version was also included as an Easter egg on the 2004 DVD release of "God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!."

The audio from this version was featured on the original 1995 release of *VeggieTunes*.

### 1998-2000

This version marks the first big change to the opening. The intro has been entirely reanimated and the song itself was re-recorded as well. More specific updates include:

* The opening credits now showcase updated Big Idea and *VeggieTales* logos, as well as “Michael Nawrocki” being shortened to “Mike Nawrocki” during the “created by” credits.
* The shot of Bob saying “Have we got a show for you!” has Larry leaning in and nodding his head again, but Bob has a closed smile and Larry's mouth is not visible.
* Another updated clip montage featuring more recent clips from the latest episodes. It’s also the first time to exclude any clips from the first two shows. This would become a staple of future clip montages.
* Multiple animation errors seen in the previous versions were fixed. This includes such goofs as the character's pupils clipping through their eyelids and Junior phasing through Bob at the end after Larry faints.

Even with all the updated audio and visuals, the song retains the same structure and white void segments as before.

This version of the montage include clips from the following episodes:

* "Are You My Neighbor?"
* "Rack, Shack & Benny"
* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "The Toy That Saved Christmas"
* "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!"
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"

This version was featured on most *VeggieTales* episodes released on VHS from 1998 to 2000. This version was also used for the *VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular!* when it aired on Pax TV in 1998 and the first two volumes of the *Heroes of the Bible* series. An alternate version with different clips was used for Arabic DVD releases of episodes 1-2, 4-5, and 8-9 of *VeggieTales*.

The audio from this version is featured on the albums *VeggieTunes 2*, *A Queen, a King, and a Very Blue Berry*, and the re-release of the original *VeggieTunes* album.

### 2001-2009

The opening does not change drastically in any way during this time, but different clip montages were used throughout these years. Each update of the clip montage included more recent clips than the last. The song's structure continues to remain the same, although some portions of the white void segments are removed from 2004 onwards (depending on the edit of the clip montage).

It‘s also worth noting that the song was re-recorded around 2003.

The 2001 version of the montage includes clips from the following episodes:

* "Are You My Neighbor?"
* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "The Toy That Saved Christmas"
* "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!"
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "The End of Silliness?"
* "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen"

The 2004-2006 montage includes clips from the following episodes:

* "Are You My Neighbor? "
* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! "
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen "
* "Lyle the Kindly Viking"
* "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown"
* "The Star of Christmas"
* "The Ballad of Little Joe"
* "An Easter Carol"

The 2007-2009 montage includes clips from the following episodes:

* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen"
* "Lyle the Kindly Viking"
* "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown"
* "The Ballad of Little Joe"
* "An Easter Carol"
* "Duke and the Great Pie War"
* "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush"
* "Lord of the Beans"
* "Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler"
* "LarryBoy and the Bad Apple"
* "Gideon: Tuba Warrior"

This version was featured on most *VeggieTales* videos released on VHS and DVD from 2001 to the spring of 2006 and continued onto just DVD through the summer of 2006 to 2009. The 2001-2003 version was also played onscreen at the start of the first *VeggieTales Live!* show *VeggieTales Live! On Stage*. An edited version was used for episodes that aired on the Gospel Music Channel in 2009.

The audio from this version is featured on the album *VeggieTunes 4* and various other audio releases between 2004 to 2009.

### 2010-2014

The opening has now been entirely reanimated and rearranged, marking the biggest and most drastic change to the opening since 1998 (and arguably since 1993). The length of the opening has been shortened significantly, due to the opening dialogue between Bob and Larry over the opening credits being removed. The song itself is also much shorter as the solos of Junior and Larry are removed. The tempo of the song has also increased.

The opening begins with updated versions of the opening credits and the *VeggieTales* logo being blown out of the bell of a sousaphone as the familiar bassline is played on it. The camera then zooms out to reveal Larry playing said sousaphone in the familiar "white void" while Bob hops into the frame to sing as he usually does. But as each lyric is sung, Bob is now joined by the rest of the main cast of VeggieTales characters: Junior, Jimmy and Jerry, Mr. Lunt, Laura Carrot, Pa Grape, Petunia Rhubarb, Madame Blueberry, Archibald Asparagus, The French Peas, and Mr. Nezzer. After the Veggies finish singing, it's revealed that the other Veggies accidentally pushed Bob to the back of the group as they tried to make room for each other. Bob excuses his way to the front and says his iconic opening line, followed by Larry popping in from behind the group of Veggies with a bright smile and playing the lead-in to the chorus.

For the chorus, a brand new clip montage is used featuring clips of episodes produced after "Josh and the Big Wall!." In the audio commentary for "Princess and the Popstar," Brian Roberts stated that this was done because he and the Big Idea team felt the clips from older episodes would “stick out like a sore thumb”, compared to clips from the newer episodes that have more modern animation.

The song's refrain is only sung once by Bob, giving him the only solo in this version. Like the old opening, we cut back to the white void at the end of the refrain with all the Veggies jumping with excitement as they sing. The rest of the song continues as it usually does, followed by colorful confetti falling this time instead of flowers while they sing. However, as Larry finishes playing the song and faints, he accidentally startles The French Peas that are stacked precariously atop Mr. Lunt’s hat, Phillipe loses his balance and falls into the bell of Larry's sousaphone. But once Larry plays the final bum note, Phillipe gets blown back out of the bell and lands safely atop of Jean-Claude again. All the veggies laugh together with kids heard from offscreen.

In 2014, this version of the opening got another new clip montage, including a much wider range of clips than previously used before. This ends up removing the shot of the VeggieTales cast jumping at the end of the refrain in the process. It's also worth noting that despite the reluctance to use clips from older *VeggieTales* episodes in the previous version of the intro, this version used clips from three episodes produced in the mid 1990s.

The 2010-2013 montage includes clips from the following episodes:

* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen"
* "Lyle the Kindly Viking"
* "Duke and the Great Pie War"
* "LarryBoy and the Bad Apple"
* "Gideon: Tuba Warrior"
* "Moe and the Big Exit"
* "The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's"
* "Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue"
* "Abe and the Amazing Promise"
* "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella"
* "Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving"
* "Pistachio - The Little Boy That Woodn't"

The 2014 montage includes clips from the following episodes:

* "Are You My Neighbor?"
* "Rack, Shack & Benny"
* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Lyle the Kindly Viking"
* *Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie*
* "The Star of Christmas"
* "An Easter Carol"
* "Duke and the Great Pie War"
* "The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's"
* "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella"
* "Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving "
* "'Twas the Night Before Easter"
* "Princess and the Popstar"
* "The Little Drummer Boy"
* "Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men"
* "The Penniless Princess"
* "The League of Incredible Vegetables"
* "The Little House That Stood"
* "Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas"
* "Veggies in Space: The Fennel Frontier"

This version was featured on most *VeggieTales* DVDs released from 2010 to 2014 as well as most episodes re-released on various digital and streaming platforms. This version is also used when *VeggieTales* episodes air on TBN and its sister channel, Smile.

A slightly shortened audio version was used for the promotional CDs released with Chick-fil-A kids meals in 2011.

### 2015

This version of the opening is significant for being the last version of the main series as well as being the last drastic visual change to the opening. It was created for the episode "Noah's Ark," which is known for carrying over the infamous redesigns of the *VeggieTales* characters from the rebooted Netflix series.

This time, Bob and Larry are the only characters present to perform the song, giving a fairly reminiscent feel of the original opening. But instead of showing a clip montage during the chorus, the camera zooms into the bell of Larry’s sousaphone and pans over several photos of depicting *VeggieTales* episodes, utilizing images of stock art from the *VeggieTales* library of DVD covers. After the outro, we zoom out of the sousaphone and return to the white void. As usual, Larry collapses from exhaustion and blows confetti out of his sousaphone as Bob laughs with the kids heard offscreen.

It uses the same audio from the 2010-2014 opening, albeit all the other characters' vocals (besides Bob) are removed for the opening verses.

The following episodes are represented in this version of the opening:

* "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?"
* "Are You My Neighbor?"
* "Rack, Shack & Benny"
* "Dave and the Giant Pickle"
* "The Toy That Saved Christmas"
* "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!"
* "Josh and the Big Wall!"
* "Madame Blueberry"
* "King George and the Ducky"
* "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen"
* "Lyle the Kindly Viking"
* "The Ballad of Little Joe"
* "An Easter Carol"
* "Sumo of the Opera"
* "Duke and the Great Pie War"
* "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush"
* "Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler"
* "LarryBoy and the Bad Apple"
* "Gideon: Tuba Warrior"
* "Moe and the Big Exit"
* "The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's"
* "Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue"
* "Abe and the Amazing Promise"
* "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella"
* "Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving"
* "Pistachio – The Little Boy That Woodn't"
* "Sweetpea Beauty"
* "It's a Meaningful Life"
* "'Twas the Night Before Easter"
* "Princess and the Popstar"
* "The Little Drummer Boy"
* "Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men"
* "The Penniless Princess"
* "The League of Incredible Vegetables"
* "The Little House That Stood"
* "MacLarry and the Stinky Cheese Battle"
* "Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas"
* "Veggies in Space: The Fennel Frontier"
* "Celery Night Fever"
* "Beauty and the Beet"

This version is featured on *A Very Veggie Party Playlist*.

## Covers and Other renditions

### "VeggieTown Values"

For the "VeggieTown Values" series, a retooled version of the theme song was created for an exclusive tape in the VBS curriculum entitled "Greetings from Bob and Larry." It was used for the second greeting on the tape referred to as the "VeggieTown Municipal Anthem." It is sung by Bob and Larry and also features some very silly impromptu lyrics by Larry. Despite using the 1998 reanimated version of the theme song, clips from the 1994-97 version were shown instead of the clips from the 1998-2000 version.

### *VeggieTales Live!*

When *VeggieTales* made its transition from the TV screen to the stage in 2002, an extended Broadway-esque version of the theme song was made to create a big musical number for the show’s finale. It's been subsequently used in almost every *VeggieTales Live!* show to date.

The song is performed by Bob, Larry, Junior, Pa Grape, Jimmy and Jerry, Archibald, and an unseen choir of male and female voices. For later live shows, Mr. Lunt is added to the group onstage despite not being included in the recording. Sometimes dancers touring with the shows would be featured during the song dressed in elaborate vegetable-themed costumes. The musical score also consists of a full symphony orchestra instead of the usual polka instruments.

This version is featured on the album *Have We Got A Show For You!: Ten Years of VeggieTales Greatest Hits*.

### *VeggieRocks!*

In 2004, Rebecca St. James recorded a rock cover of the theme song. The song was re-orchestrated to fit a “rock and roll” musical style, featuring electric guitars and drums.

### *God Made You Special*

An instrumental techno-pop version of the song can be heard during the celebration on the opening countertop as well as the closing credits of this compilation DVD.

### *If I Sang A Silly Song...*

Larry performs a short big-band version of the song as the host of the “Silly Song Telethon”.

### *VeggieTales in the House*/*in the City*

Although the Netflix series has an original theme song, some of the lyrics are direct callbacks to the original theme song. More specifically, with the lyric of "Broccoli! Celery! Gotta be...".

### *The VeggieTales Show*

While this reboot series also has its own theme song, the original theme song is used and referenced throughout the series. An instrumental version of the 2010-2015 theme song is heard during the credits for nearly every episode and a special remixed version was played over the credits of the final episode "The Grumble Cure."

For the opening number of the Christmas special, "The Best Christmas Gift," the *VeggieTales* cast (excluding Mr. Nezzer and Laura Carrot) perform the song on stage before a live vegetable audience in Mr. Nezzer’s Theater. They perform it broadway-esque with black top hats and canes on a large set of risers fitted with bright, flashy stage lights. This is the first time, however, that Larry doesn’t play the sousaphone. Instead, Larry sings onstage with the others while Bruce Onion conducts Khalil playing all the instruments in the orchestra pit. The same audio from the 2010-2014 opening is also used, albeit with some very minor instrumentation and percussion added.

## Fun Facts

* The only *VeggieTales* episodes to not open with the theme song are:
	+ "The Toy That Saved Christmas"
	+ "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"
	+ "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen"
	+ "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown "
	+ "The Star of Christmas"
	+ "The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!"
	+ "An Easter Carol"
	+ "Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving"
		- *Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie* and *The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie* don't feature the theme song either, because both titles were theatrical releases.
* While writing the song, Mike Nawrocki had trouble trying to find a rhyme for "smile". It eventually dawned on him the next day that "aisle" was the best word.
* When Lisa Vischer first heard Kurt Heinecke practicing the song on the tuba, she thought it sounded like a dying elephant.
* The theme song was recorded in a small cinder-block room in a storefront in Chicago, Illinois.
* Although it’s the first song presented in the series, the theme song was the second song written after "God is Bigger."
* Many members of Big Idea’s production crew had been considering the idea of completely updating the theme song as far back as 2004. Those plans never actually came to fruition until 2010.
* The sound of the kids laughing at the end of the opening is taken from a cartoon sound effect library. The audio is called “Hollywoodedge, Fast Juicy Pie Splat CRT019701”.
* Known editors for the opening clip montages are Phil Vischer (1993-1997), Mike Nawrocki (1998-2000), John Wahba (2001-2003), and Steve Hullfish (2004-2006).
	+ If you look closely at the top of the screen in the 2001 theme song, you can still see a line of clips from the 1998 theme song.
* Despite popular belief, Larry doesn't actually play the tuba in the theme song. What Larry is actually playing is a sousaphone. The sousaphone was created by John Phillip Sousa as a way for marching band members to easily carry their tubas while marching. Although they produce the same low-pitched sound, their shapes and structures is what makes them different.
* On the 2007 reprint of Lyle the Kindly Viking, the 2007 theme song uses the audio of the 1998 version.
* On the 15th anniversary DVD reprint of Where's God When I'm S-Scared?, the 1998 theme song oddly uses the audio of the 2003-2009 version.
* On multiple international releases of *VeggieTales* episodes, the theme song starts off at the point where Bob says "Have we got a show for you!"
* For most *VeggieTales* VHS releases from 1994-1996, Bob’s first line of dialogue before the theme song is cut off at the beginning. His line becomes fragmented to "Larry, it's time for the theme song." This was likely due to a video exporting glitch from inserting the theme song footage into each new episode.
	+ The error can be heard on the original 1994-1996 VHS releases of "God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!," "Are You My Neighbor?" (including its 1997 Lyrick Studios reprint), "Rack, Shack and Benny" and "Dave and the Giant Pickle."
	+ The 1997 release of "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!" fixed the error.
* Because of the poor audio quality of the openings from 1993-1997, Lisa Vischer is only fully heard in the chorus. When the song was re-recorded in 1998 and 2004, Kurt Heinecke’s and Phil Vischer’s vocals could be heard much more clearly.
* According to Phil Vischer‘s autobiography, *Me, Myself, and Bob*, the same mouth model and animation was used on each veggie that was singing in the original opening.
* "Very Silly Songs!", "Jonah Sing-Along Songs and More!", "The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!", "A Snoodle's Tale", *The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie*, and "Noah's Ark" are the only episodes and/or movies to never be featured in any of the theme song clip montages, including the 2015 montage.
