Opening Theme
Not A Lot Goin' On, by Craig Northey and Jesse Valenzuela
You can tell me that your dog ran away
And then tell me that it took three days
I've heard every joke, I've heard every one you're sayin'

And that's why you can stay so long
Where there's not a lot goin' on.


Closing Theme
My Happy Place, by Craig Northey
I don't know the same things you don't know
I don't know, I just don't know
It's a great big place

And it's my happy place
I don't know
Yes you do
You just won't admit it
I don't know the same things you don't know
I don't know
I just don't know.
