Danny Elfman, the man behind the long-running animated show’s theme tune, made the admission in a new interview. “Well, from what I’ve heard, it is coming to an end,” he told Joe, adding: “I don’t know for a fact, but I’ve heard that it will be in its last year.” Speaking about the Fox show’s legacy, Elfman said: “All I can say is that I’m so flabbergasted and amazed that it has lasted as long as it did. You have to realise, when I scored The Simpsons, I wrote this crazy piece of music, and I expected no one would hear it, because I really did not think the show had a chance in hell.” He called the show’s success “one of the truly big surprises in my life”.
