   Of course, he did not compose the theme music, which famously was done   
   by Danny Elfman. He also -- I just looked it up -- did not compose the   
   very famous Monorail song.   
      
   But he did (so I was told by a credible source) compose the music for   
   arguably the funniest bit that show ever did in a pantheon of   
   incredibly funny bits:  the Mr. Sparkle commercial.
