Blue's Clues Opening Sequence

This theme only plays during the seasons with Steve as the host of the show, which are the first four seasons although Joe did show up in the last two episodes of season four before Steve's departure. For the last two seasons with Joe as the host, it was replaced by Another Blue's Clues Day. The first few notes from the beginning of the song can be heard as Steve’s ringtone on Josh's phone in the Blue's Clues & You! premiere episode "Meet Josh!". During the intro, Blue hides a different spot. On rare occasions, when the episode starts outside beginning with Nature, Blue doesn't hide. In some others such as "Blue's Big Musical", she doesn't appear at all until after the opening.

Rey In the opening sequence of most episodes before Season 4, Mailbox's post was purple even after it was changed to black starting with "A Snowy Day". In the earliest episodes of the original series, part of the music for this sequence was played before The So Long Song. The opening sequence was interrupted in "Blue's Big Treasure Hunt" when Mailbox announced that it's already mail time. In seasons 5 and 6 (Joe seasons), the original sequence is replaced with Another Blue's Clues Day. The book opens by itself in this version with Blue already in it, which makes more sense at the end compared to Another Blue's Clues Day.
