- Not to be confused with the short, The Theme Song
DAVE AND BAMBA

"Wander Over Yonder Main Title" is the theme song of Wander Over Yonder. The lyrics and sequence remain the same for all episodes, and it is performed by The Two Man Gentlemen Band.
Two versions of the song exist, the full version and a short version. The full version is used on the first half of episodes, while the short version, which debuted with "The Fancy Party", was used on subsequent newer episodes to make more time for commercials, since shows on Disney XD immediately go to commercial after the theme song, rather than continue the episode itself.
"The Epic Quest of Unfathomable Difficulty!!!" and "The Void" are the first episodes to only be produced with a 15-second intro and credits. Previous episodes were produced with the full theme and credits but were shortened for reruns.

Short version[]
Beginning with "The Fancy Party", the theme song is slightly shortened. The sequence is the same until the third "Yip bi di dit bip bi-ee-i-di-dit", during which, instead of pointing and looking forward in excitement, Wander points and looks upward in fear, and it zooms out to show Lord Hater's ship. It skips the second chorus and replaces it with a Lord Hater theme, as the camera shows the Watchdogs and zooms in on Lord Hater's face. After this, the rest of the song goes normally. Also at the beginning, the galaxy's flares are rotating slowly. In addition, the song's speed is slightly faster than the full version, but this was restored to normal speed in later broadcasts.
Afterwards, episodes before "The Fancy Party" were edited to have the short theme song and shortened the credits. The earliest episode known to date to have been edited to have the short intro is "The Picnic".
