Good ears, guys/gals! Very cool exotica opening on that show. It's not Jungle Madness though. As far as I can tell it's an original piece, and I think it's supposed to be an homage to Denny's "Quiet Village", the biggest exotica hit (and launch of the exotica craze?). It sounds closer to Quiet Village than Jungle madess to me. What's freaky though is how long the exotica part of the theme song is, it's like a full 30 seconds or so of exotica before the nutty main theme kicks in.

I cover it here on my "also of note" exotica page, along with a short list of other exotica in unfamiliar places:

and it's been discussed here, at least once before:

I think it's cool that people are picking up on it... watching something and then subliminally realizing it's exotica in an unfamiliar place :)
