Default "The Expectant Father" closing theme

I watched this episode last night and I was caught off guard when it got to the closing theme. Instead of the usual "MmmHmmHmmHmmHmm..." Janet DuBois was singing actual words the whole time. The same words as the opening theme. This was the first time that I recall hearing this version of the closing theme. Did any other episodes feature this version? I was hoping to find a clip online so that I could share it, but to no avail.

I caught it too when I watching on Pluto and decided to the DVD in for season 6 so I can if its the same. And it is LOL It sounds pretty good. TO A DELUXE APT IN THE SKKKYYYYY LOL I check the next episode Joltin George and the closing credits dont have that theme

So why it was included on Expectant Father is a mystery

I did some digging and was able to confirm that these are the only two episodes with that closing theme with Janet Dubios singing

George and Louise In A Bind-season 5
Expectant Father-season 6

Interesting. I wonder why they would only use it during those two episodes and I wonder if this version was recorded at the same time as the much more common version.
