Its been fun watching the different theories regarding the meaning of
"Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" pop up over the last few years. I don't
think "Hamlet" has been as closely scrutinized or more divergently
interpreted.
Here is what I (and the songwriters and other two creators of the show)
thought it meant when we decided on it.
Hey baby I hear the blues a'callin'
play on words: He's got the blues and referencing that he takes phone
calls
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
mixed up people who call in
And maybe I seem a bit confused
Well, maybe, but I got you pegged
the core of Frasier's character: He is a nutcase himself much of the
time, but can analyze the problems of others
But I don't know what to do with those
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
except these damn callers
They're callin' again
they're calling again
Subject: Another analysis
From: Bill Jennings
Here's my Personal Theory (tm) as to the meaning behind the _Frasier_ theme.
What do tossed salad and scrambled eggs have in common? They are both
things that, once made, can't be unmade. As the Gershwin song goes, "You
Can't Unscramble Scrambled Eggs".
While the phrase can be applied to Frasier's callers, I think it has more to
do with his family and friends. Frasier has put himself into a situation
that he can't get out of. Sort of like tossed salad and scrambled eggs.
