Moreover, he revealed he didn’t think the show had a “chance in hell” in its early stages.
“So, you have to realise, when I scored The Simpsons, I wrote this crazy piece of music, and I expected no-one would hear it, because I really did not think the show had a chance in hell.
“Really, I expected it would run for three episodes and get cancelled, and that would be that, because it was so weird at the time, and I just didn’t think it had a chance.
“So believe me, that is one of the truly big surprises in my life.”
