Watching the 'Hey Arnold!' pilot with the original theme song is a different vibe

A lot of people think the show always had that jazz intro, but the first airing used a totally different, more synth-heavy track. Anyone know where to find a clean version of that pilot episode?

That point about the synth track is so true. It actually makes the city feel colder and more lonely, which fits the early episodes better. Like when Arnold stares out his skylight at the rain, that music nailed the mood. The jazz theme is iconic, but it feels warmer, like the show after it found its heart. I miss that raw pilot vibe.

Wait, they used a different theme song in the pilot? How did I never notice that...
