Created by Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, the revival collection picks up as Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) strikes again to Boston – the setting the place the character was initially launched in Cheers earlier than he acquired his personal spin-off, Frasier, set in Seattle.
Whereas some veteran forged members make visitor appearances, the revival collection largely includes a new ensemble, together with Nicholas Lyndhurst as college professor Alan, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy, Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve and Toks Olagundoye as Olivia.
What’s the Frasier theme tune and lyrics?
For the reboot, Grammer sings a re-recorded model of the present’s basic theme tune ‘Tossed Salads And Scrambled Eggs’ – test it out above.
Whereas the recording has modified, the lyrics have stayed the identical: “Hey child, I hear the blues are calling/ Tossed salads and scrambled eggs/ And perhaps I appear a bit confused/ Yeah perhaps, however I acquired you pegged/ However I don’t know what to do with these tossed salads and scrambled eggs”.
What’s the that means behind the Frasier theme tune?
The theme tune initially acted as a reference to Frasier’s job as a radio psychiatrist, with strains like “the blues are calling” referring to callers on his present.
The that means behind the tune was revealed on former Frasier author Ken Levine’s weblog, the place he interviewed the tune’s composer, Bruce Miller. Within the publish, Miller explains that he was instructed to “keep away from any direct references to particular subject material” like Frasier, radio exhibits or psychiatry within the tune.
His pal Darryl Phinnesse later gave him the concept for “Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs” as a result of these are meals which are “blended up” like Frasier’s sufferers.
“After I first wrote the tune, I immediately considered the good jazz singer, Mel Torme,” Miller mentioned. “He would have been good, however the producers needed me to attempt Kelsey… and naturally, he actually made it his personal along with his interpretation.”
The that means behind the tune is barely misplaced within the reboot, as Frasier not works in radio psychiatry when he strikes again to Boston. It does, nevertheless, act as a nostalgic callback to the spin-off’s origins.
