OK if you have not guessed by now you never will! a guy called Danny Elfman wrote all or some of the music in all of the above, he is married to Bridget Fonda daughter of Peter Fonda of Easy Rider fame and granddaughter of Henry Fonda, I think he must be so talented to be able to write things as diverse as The Simpson's to The Kingdom.
