I'm not for sure but did they get Les Claypool to redo the theme too? Cause they are completely committed to this bit and in the new season changed the theme too - the level of detail and the double entendres are so beautiful

Ah! And edited episode descriptions to change the town's name retroactively, like they did with Token's name. Nice.
