The Surf-Rock Theme
(Fast-Paced Surf Guitar Solo)
(High-Energy Drum Fills)
(Snappy Horn Section)
The theme is a high-octane instrumental track.
It mixes surf-rock guitars with an “action movie”
vibe to show that Cornelius Fillmore and Ingrid Third
mean business on the X Middle School Safety Patrol!
The Iconic Opening
X Middle School’s Finest
Fillmore! was a brilliant show that treated middle school problems—like stolen chalk or a rigged election—like serious crimes from a police drama. Cornelius Fillmore, a former troublemaker turned Safety Patrol officer, teams up with the smart and stoic Ingrid Third to keep the halls of X Middle School safe.
The show’s music is just as cool as the characters. The theme song, “Das Über Tuber,” was performed by the geek-rock band Ookla the Mok. With its fast tempo and “spy movie” guitars, it perfectly matched the show’s energy. Plus, having the legendary “Movie Trailer Voice” guy, Don LaFontaine, narrate the show made it feel like a huge Hollywood blockbuster every Saturday morning.
