Original Title: TIL there were different variations of The Simpsons opening theme because starting with season 2 they made 3 versions: the full 1-minute-15-second-long version, a 45-second and a 25-second. This gave editors a little extra flexibility to pad shorter episodes or add as much footage as possible.
