=== Credits === The show's theme song, "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs", is sung by Grammer and is played over the closing credits of each episode. Composer Bruce Miller, who had also composed for ''Wings'', was asked to avoid explicitly mentioning any subjects related to the show such as radio or psychiatry. After Miller finished the music, lyricist Darryl Phinnesse suggested the title as they were things that were, like Frasier Crane's patients, "mixed up". The lyrics indirectly refer to Crane's radio show; "I hear the blues a-callin'," for example, refers to troubled listeners who call the show.<ref name="levine20120409">{{cite web | url=http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2012/04/story-behind-tossed-salad-and-scrambled.html | title=The story behind 'Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs' | work=...by Ken Levine | date=April 9, 2012 | access-date=April 9, 2012 | author=Levine, Ken | archive-date=December 25, 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225084651/http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2012/04/story-behind-tossed-salad-and-scrambled.html | url-status=live }}</ref> Grammer recorded several variations of the final spoken line of the theme, which were rotated for each of the episodes. Other than season finales, a short, silent scene, often revisiting a small subplot aside from the central story of the episode, appears with the credits and song, which the actors performed without written dialogue based on the scriptwriter's suggestion.<ref name="levine20120810">{{cite web | url=http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-you-see-is-what-we-show-you.html | title=What you see is what we show you | work=...by Ken Levine | date=August 10, 2012 | access-date=August 10, 2012 | author=Levine, Ken | archive-date=December 25, 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225084652/http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-you-see-is-what-we-show-you.html | url-status=live }}</ref> The [[title card]] at the start of each episode shows a white line being drawn in the shape of the Seattle skyline on a black background above the show's title. In most episodes, once the skyline and title appear, the skyline is augmented in some way, such as windows lighting up or a helicopter lifting off. The color of the title text changed for each season (respectively: blue, red, turquoise, purple, gold, brown, yellow, green, orange, metallic silver, and metallic gold). Over the title card, one of about 25 brief musical cues evoking the closing theme is played.{{r|levine20120409}}
