See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge 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. User Contributions:Top Document: alt.tv.frasier FAQ Previous Document: 5.03 Has anybody noticed that the guest callers are famous people?
