<P> The show 's theme song , the `` Love Theme from Mystery Science Theater 3000 '' , was written by Hodgson and Weinstein , which helped to cement some of the broader narrative elements of the show , such as the Mads and Joel being part of an experiment . The song was composed by Charlie Erickson with help from Hodgson in the style of Devo , The Replacements , and The Rivieras ( particularly their cover of the song `` California Sun '' ) and sung by Hodgson . Initial shows used foam letters to make the show 's title , but they later created the spinning - moon logo out of a 2 - foot ( 0.6 m ) diameter fiberglass ball , covered with foam insulation and the lettering cut from additional foam pieces . Hodgson felt they needed a filmed logo with the rotating effect as opposed to a flat 2D image , and though they had envisioned a more detailed prop , with the letters being the tops of buildings on this moon , they had no time or budget for a project of that complexity and went with what they had . Musical numbers would also be used as part of the host segments , which Hodgson said came out naturally from the riffing process ; they would find themselves at times singing along with the movie instead of just riffing at it , and took that to extend songs into the host segments . </P>
