Frasier - theme song


Expert: D Walker - 2/27/2002

Question
how was this song originated and what meaning

if any does it have ( tossed salad and scrambled

eggs ) ?

Answer
Hello
In response to your question, the theme song was written especially for the show by songwriters and the creators. Looking on the internet, I found the following which suggests what tossed salad and scrambled eggs means. I can't take credit for this information but I hope it has been of some use for you. If you've got any other Frasier questions, don't be afraid to ask!
Thanks a lot
D Walker

Its been fun watching the different theories regarding the meaning of "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" pop up over the last few years.  I don't think "Hamlet" has been as closely scrutinized or more divergently interpreted.
Here is what I (and the songwriters and other two creators of the show) thought it meant when we decided on it.

Hey baby I hear the blues a'callin'
play on words:  He's got the blues and referencing that he takes phone calls

Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
mixed up people who call in

And maybe I seem a bit confused
Well, maybe, but I got you pegged
the core of Frasier's character:  He is a nutcase himself much of the time, but can analyze the problems of others

But I don't know what to do with those
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
except these damn callers

They're callin' again
they're calling again
