The main theme for Futurama samples Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock", The Winstons's "Amen Brother" and Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight."^[2][3]

As was noted in the audio commentary of the Futurama episode "The Problem with Popplers", Tyng is first and foremost a drummer; indeed, he accredits his composing proficiency to the awkwardness of lugging a drum set. As a convenience to him, his bandmates would often bring their instruments to his house for practice. Tyng, then, had access to many more instruments, which he then learned to play.^{[citation needed]}
