Line 96:
* For the two versions of ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'''s [[Live Episode]], Jenna (east coast) and Danny (west coast) performed a version of the normally-instrumental [[Theme Tune]] [[With Lyrics]] at the ''<s>[[Saturday Night Live]]</s>[[Show Within a Show|TGS]]'' studio, with the regular opening shown on an adjacent widescreen monitor.
* ''[[Community]]'' does this fairly regularly:
** [[Halloween Episode]] "[[Community/Recap/S2 /E06 Epidemiology|Epidemiology]]" featured redrawn, Halloween-themed images for each of the cast and closed with a howling wolf. It's revisited in "[[Community/Recap/S3 /E05 Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps|Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps]]", with an additional image for [[Promotion to Opening Titles|Jim Rash]].
** [[Stop Motion]] [[Christmas Episode]] [[Community/Recap/S2 /E11 AbedsAbed's Uncontrollable Christmas|Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas]] had the title theme integrated into the plot - Abed singing alternate lyrics while dancing from car hood to car hood.
** More thematic redrawn credits were used for "[[Community/Recap/S2 /E14 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]", complete with orchestral score.
** A Western themed version of the credits was used for "[[Community/Recap/S2 /E23 A Fistful of Paint Balls|A Fistful of Paintballs]]."
** "[[Community/Recap/S3 /E17 Basic Lupine Urology|Basic Lupine Urology]]" featured a credits sequence done in the style of [[Law and Order]], complete with a rearranged theme song.
** Similarly, "[[Community/Recap/S3 /E20 Digital Estate Planning|Digital Estate Planning]]" showed the cast being rendered in an 8-/16-bit style as their faces were being digitized for a video game, set to a chiptune version of the theme song.
* Done in a minor way in the India-themed episodes of ''[[Sanctuary]]''. While the normal title sequence remained unchanged, an Eastern-sounding song was added instead of the usual tune.
* The ''[[Sex and the City]]'' movies have a re-orchestrated version of the theme music. Not the only thing that's overdone about the movies.
Line 118:
** It's snowing over the title.
* The Granada TV version of "The Final Problem" (''[[The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes]]'') replaced the opening violin tune with a slower, sadder version.
* The credits of the last episode of ''[[Blake's Seven7|Blakes Seven]]'' were completely silent except for gunshots.
 
 
Line 129:
* ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'' does this in a few levels for impact. In "You're the Inspiration" for example, they don't count down or wave their arms, and the title appears over a picture of their client, rather than the agents saying "Hey! Mission!" like always.
** In "Jumping Jack Flash", they only have the countdown, due to it being a continuation of the last level.
* The Japanese predecessor to ''Elite Beat Agents'', called ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]'', has a few of these as well. In the original, "Over The Distance" had a much quieter call for help and had their target running down the stairs to Heaven instead of the more [[Hot-Blooded]] regaining of spirit and countdown. In the sequel, "Believe" and "Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze" are similar to "You're The Inspiration" and "Jumping Jack Flash", respectively.
