** Season 2's version is featured after the curator's opening narration, and is played on a solo harp with a mysterious whistle-like tone in the background.
** Season 3's is done in a smooth jazz style played on piano with bass and drum backing. Michael will often talk when it plays, and during longer intros, the song will loop on itself until he's finished, before ending with flare from the piano.
** Season 4's is remarkably different from the others with the main beat of "Twanger" being played by drums in the background while a mysterious sounding choir and electronic instruments play a new melody instead.
** Season 5's version is much lighter in tone than the others, played on a bright electronic piano at a quicker tempo than the others. A secondary version plays before Gwen's ending voicemail as well, with a similar melody (but not quite the same) played on a bright xylophone with backing noise.
** Season 6's version features the melody once again played on a twanging string instrument as well as a glockenspiel or crotales, with a light backing orchestra.
