"And Then There's Maude" is the theme song to Maude, starring Bea Arthur, which was originally broadcast on the CBS network from September 12, 1972 until April 22, 1978.
In "No Meals on Wheels", Peter and Lois Griffin are sitting on the couch watching an early Maude opening credit sequence, which Peter found to be tediously long.
Lyrics
Peter: Oh, look, it's one of those early Maude episodes with the really long opening credit sequence.
TV: ♪ Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didn't care if the whole world looked
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked
Madame Curie was a strong woman character
Workin' all day in a science lab, yeah
Clara Barton was a famous nurse
Who was rapping with the soldiers and bandages too
Susan B. Anthony, always out doin' stuff
Marchin' around and holdin' up signs... ♪
Peter: "And then there's Maude."
