This has been discussed to death, but I don't care. I'm one of those who initially was drawn to watch another episode of the show based on the theme song. And Im thankful for that, cuz once I'd seen a couple of episodes, I was hooked. Mind you, Saffron's version of the "Bible" might have had something to do with my fandom....

Yea. I liked Safron's bible. I might have gone to a church with such wonder tales of puffed up cheeks. But alas I am a religion of one. Will have to write my own bible. And it will follow the Safron version for sure.

I don't beleive there's an official full length version, I think all Joss wrote is what's in the episode. I have heard a longer version that someone else did though, I believe it's call Mal's Song.

Mal's Song is really fantastic! Just beautiful. Michelle wrote amazing additional lyrics to make this mini ballad into a full-blown tune! It really captures the feel of the verse (at least I think so)!

there are also several YouTube videos set to the tune.
