Composed by Oliver Nelson
How does one write music for a brief skit that's trying way too hard to be funny? With only the merest whiff of parody, Nelson's creepily atmospheric "bedtime story" threatens to undermine the joky undercurrents of this minor vignette ... and is the more effective because of it.
One of the most often-reused themes on the show, this music returned in at least eight other segments, including "With Apologies to Mr. Hyde," "A Fear of Spiders," "The Diary," "Big Surprise," "Pickman's Model," "The Painted Mirror," and the introductory cues to many other vignettes.
