Kang and Kodos served the Simpsons as dinner for their boss, but Bart survived and the aliens adopted him. The Perfect Strangers theme song, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now", then played over a montage of freeze-frame scenes showing Bart with the aliens.

Behind the Laughter
During "Treehouse of Horror XV", the Perfect Strangers theme song was played during the opening sequence and over the opening credits, then again over the episode's closing credits.
