[edit] Plot Outline

When the owner of KACL decides that each show requires a special theme jingle, Frasier struggles to think of one, to the complaint of Kenny. Still trying harder, Frasier cancels dinner with Niles, only to reveal why. Interested, Niles invites himself into helping Frasier. Making the tune extremely complex, Frasier enrolls Niles to take the role as the announcer for a monologue. But, when brushing his teeth, Martin invents a catchy and smarter tune for Frasier, who dismisses it instantly.

Still thinking something is missing from his tune, Frasier hires an orchestra and choir to perform in it, also promising Roz's new boyfriend Leon a part, eventually giving him the part of lead triangle. Daphne, Kenny and Martin arrive and join Roz to listen live to Frasier's long-awaited song. At the end of the 2 minute piece, Kenny explains he didn't want something so grandiose. Daphne then talks Martin into singing his ditty. Kenny loves it and tells Frasier to come up with something more like that.

Starting again, Frasier hears Martin's jingle for the second time. He adds extra words to it, from Martin's advice of "saying what you do". He comes up with another catchy jingle which Frasier hates at first, but he eventually relents and adds his own words to it.
