Perry the Platypus Theme

"Perry the Platypus" is a background theme song played as Agent P embarks on a mission to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz in nearly every Phineas and Ferb episode. It was mostly run in small fragments until "One Good Scare Ought to Do It!" when it was run in the form of a full song with a montage. It was heavily voted for as a favorite to be showcased in "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", but did not make the final cut.

Lyrics[]

Background Information[]

• Gitchee Gitchee Goo, the show's theme song, and Perry the Platypus Theme (the Rollercoaster version) were the first songs written for the series.
• Perry the Teenage Girl was sung by Sheena Easton in the style of Shirley Bassey (who sang the themes to three James Bond films). Easton (who also sang a James Bond Theme, 'For Your Eyes Only') also plays Heinz Doofenshmirtz's date and sings Happy Evil Love Song in the episode "Chez Platypus".
• While the original theme song is in the key of G minor, the Candace version transposes it to B minor.
• An instrumental version is also performed in most episodes.
• This was one of the notable songs in "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", but didn't make the top 10. However, it was sung for a few seconds in the episode, after "E.V.I.L.B.O.Y.S", the number 6 video.
• The schmoozer girl with the blue dress appeared in the episode "Chez Platypus" sitting at a table when the woman talks about the badger restaurant.
• The fainting Perry girl who looks Asian wearing the purple pants and halter top also appears in the episode "Chez Platypus" sitting with the guy who says "I love badgers". She also appears in You Snuck Your Way Right Into My Heart where Lawrence Fletcher puts his hand on her shoulder while calling for Linda and can be seen dancing in the crowd during the concert and in the end credits. She is also one of the Danville chorus singers in the Mix and Mingle Machine.
• Vegas fixture Wayne Newton once covered this song in one of his concerts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fdGbPvrrSI
• The scene where Perry runs past a robot foot is from the episode "Flop Starz". The only difference is that the image is flipped.
• A humorously slowed down version of the song plays during the segment with old Perry in "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo".
• This song appears in a music video form in two episodes ("One Good Scare Ought to Do It!" and "Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon") and is the first song to do so for multiple episodes.
• The plane Perry is seen flying at the end of the song appears to be a C-17 Globemaster III, used by the United States Air Force as its primary heavy transport aircraft.

Errors[]

• When Perry is beating Doofenshmirtz with his own robot, the second time he doesn't even hit the button, but Doofenshmirtz is hit anyway.
• In Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon, when the song is sung, Isabella is seen trapped in a cage with Phineas, Ferb and Candace, despite the fact that she had been let out of the cage before the song by Doofenshmirtz, before being pushed into a pit. Moreover, as the song comes to an end, she is seen in the pit, with her mother.

Variations[]

Since its introduction, the short version of the theme song ("Dooby, dooby, doo-ba") has had many different versions:

• Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?: The theme music stalls multiple times as Perry in Candace's body repeatedly gets stuck going down a tube. In addition, a parody of Perry's normal theme song, "Perry the Teenage Girl", is also featured.
• Ready for the Bettys: When Phineas and Ferb accidentally find Perry's lair and temporarily become secret agents, the theme song is changed to repetitions of "Phineas and Ferb", sung in the same style.
• The Best Lazy Day Ever: When Agent P is struck by the Slow-Motion-Inator, his theme song slows down as well.
• Bowl-R-Ama Drama: The "Perry the Platypus" part is changed to "Herman the Hedgehog" after the character pops out of the pipe.
• Got Game?: After Agent P walks down a very long flight of stairs and sits down in the chair, the people singing his theme song also sound like they are worn out.
• Hail Doofania!: When Perry cannot enter his lair due to the protective collar he is wearing, the song keeps repeating every time Perry tried to fit himself in the secret passage.
• Put That Putter Away and Hide and Seek: Due to Perry being tired, both his entrance and the singers sound sleepy.
• Oh, There You Are, Perry: Perry's theme song is used as a musical access code, played out when Perry steps on the stones in the yard.
• The Chronicles of Meap: Perry's anthem begins playing as he approaches a lair entrance, but when he comes across Meap, he hides his hat and the music stops. Meap and Perry have a "conversation" ("Meap!" "chatter" "Meap!" "chatter" "Meap!"), then Meap walks away. Perry puts his hat back on and the music continues from where it stopped.
• Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo: The song is played very slowly and has a big gasp between it, as if sung by old men, because Perry is very old.
• Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown: The song is sung by the studio audience.
• Isabella and the Temple of Sap: Perry does not have a B-plot, but it is revealed that Pinky the Chihuahua's theme song even as an agent is mariachi band music.
• Atlantis: Perry goes to the deck and there's a man playing a guitar and singing "Dooby Dooby Doo-Wah".
• Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!: The "Dooby Dooby Doo-Ba" is replaced with a more festive "Fa-La-La-La-La-La", as taken from the Christmas carol "Deck the Halls".
• Suddenly Suzy: Carl plays the tune with his single facial hair. Major Monogram found it disgusting and fascinating at the same time.
• Moon Farm: After Perry was zapped by the Moisturesuckinator, his theme sounded as if it were "dried out" just like Perry.
• Phineas and Ferb Interrupted: Heinz Doofenshmirtz sang the first line of the song in his bathroom.
• Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension: Perry the Platyborg's theme is heard every time he is seen when he's an evil cyborg just like Perry when he is a secret agent but in a lower scale.
• Skiddley Whiffers: Perry plays the tune with a guitar to enter his lair.
• Doof Dynasty: A version of the theme was played as Perry leaps away from the mechanical dragon and the kids eject from the giant terracotta warrior.
• Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon: Showgirls accompany Perry in his entrance, and sing 'in a fez' in the background.
