Marvel's WandaVision is inspired by many TV classics that came before it like I Love Lucy and Bewitched. While many of those shows had an iconic opening theme that began each episode, WandaVision takes it a step farther. Each episode features a new opening theme and distinct style, and we thought we'd gather the lyrics and thoughts on what they could mean in one place. As of this writing, only the first two episodes of WandaVision are available on Disney+. As each episode airs, we will update this article with the lyrics and possible meaning of what these intros could be trying to tell us.

WandaVision: Episode 1 - The Newlyweds
WandaVision's first episode's intro sees Wanda and Vision arriving in Westview in wedding attire. It has a very classic TV feel with a theme song that could have been pulled right out of the 1950s. As for the lyrics, they don't reveal too much, but they do mention that Wanda and Vision are a newlywed couple who just moved to town to leave the big city behind for a much quieter life. The full WandaVision lyrics are as follows;Oh, A newlywed couple just moved to town
A regular husband and wife
Who left the big city to find a quiet life
WandaVision!
She’s a magical gal in a small-town locale
He’s a hubby who’s part machine
How will this duo fit in and fulfill all?
By sharing a love like you’ve never seen
WandaVision!
A regular husband and wife
Who left the big city to find a quiet life
WandaVision!

By sharing a love like you’ve never seen
WandaVision!
WandaVision: Episode 2 - Wanda and Vision are Bewitched
While the second episode's intro may not feature any other lyrics besides "WandaVision!" the intro is PACKED with Easter Eggs and references. While the whole style is very reminiscent of the classic TV show Bewitched, this opening number features possible references to classic Marvel characters like Agatha Harkness and Grim Reaper. There may even be a nod to the Infinity Stones in there as well.
