Season 14. Ah yes… the era when Barney & Friends tried to be “hip,” “modern,” and “cool” by completely butchering the theme song. They chopped out the orchestral layers, gutted the middle section, threw in a rap verse that haunts me spiritually, and wrapped it all up with an ending that feels like tripping over your own shoes. So I decided to breathe some life back into this rotting flower: restoring elements from earlier intros, pulling a bit from Birthday Bash, and bringing the sequence back to its proper length. Sadly, I can’t fix the newly shot footage — even I have limits — but hey, we work with what we’ve got.
