PB&J Otter’s Playhouse Theme Song

The **PB&J Otter’s Playhouse Theme Song** is a song heard with a spoken introduction before episodes of PB&J Otter’s Playhouse up until Playhouse Sleepover. The theme song changes throughout the show (even though the original show’s theme song never does so).

## Sequence

### Season 1

Little kids heard from offscreen shout "PB&J, yay!" and the opening sequence begins. Peanut, Jelly, Pinch, Scootch and Baby Butter pop up, one by one, and welcome the viewers to their playhouse. They run into their playhouse as the camera pans and zooms in to reveal the playhouse and the springtime garden. After they came inside their playhouse, the key changes from A-flat major to A major. Peanut, Jelly and Scootch join the viewer by playing with toys, colouring with crayons and singing songs.

Scootch plays the same recorder he played in Baby Butter's Rhythm and follows his four friends to the outside of the playhouse. As Peanut shouts "Come on!", Scootch, Pinch, Jelly and Baby Butter, who all shout "Play with us!", take a spin and put each of their hands up. As the five friends (except for Baby Butter) finish singing, the show's logo appears. They jump with excitement, shout "Yay!", and laugh together (except for Baby Butter, who giggles).

A spoken introduction is heard after the theme song. Peanut, Jelly, Pinch, and Scootch introduce the viewers to their playhouse, and they ask a question to the viewers "where’s Baby Butter?". She plays hide and seek and says "hi" to the viewers and giggles. The five friends come inside to their playhouse.

### Season 2

Starting with the 2nd season, the opening has now been rearranged, with the characters now been entirely reanimated by Adobe Flash. The playhouse is now moved to the South End, Sudbury. The length of the opening has been shortened significantly, due to the spoken introduction is removed. Since Flick Duck is now added to PB&J Otter's Playhouse, he is now added to its theme song as well. The song's key is now in C major. The tempo of the song didn't increase. The song's genre is changed.

Peanut, Flick, Jelly, Pinch, Scootch and Baby Butter pop up, one by one, and welcome the viewers to their playhouse. They run into their playhouse as the camera pans and zooms in to reveal the playhouse now in the South End, Sudbury. After they came inside their playhouse, the key changes from C major to D-flat major. Flick, Jelly and Scootch join the viewer by playing with toys, colouring with crayons and singing songs.

Scootch plays the same recorder he played in Baby Butter's Rhythm and follows his five friends to the outside of the playhouse. As Peanut shouts "Come on!", Scootch, Pinch, Jelly and Flick (who now replaced Baby Butter), who all shout "Play with us!", take a spin and put each of their hands up. As the six friends (except for Baby Butter) finish singing, an updated version of the show's logo appears. They jump with excitement, shout "Yay!", and laugh together (except for Baby Butter, who giggles).

This version is re-used during the first Playhouse: Beyond Your Wildest Dreams multi-night concert. The Playhouse group (except for Flick Duck) perform the song, with the addition of several orchestral instruments and fireworks, at the Vaughan-penned Concert Way.
