==1987–2014== The Bolibompa signature theme was introduced on 31 August 1987–[2015] and the accompanying intro on 23 September 1989. The music to and the word Bolibompa itself were created by composer Lasse Dahlberg; the word bolibompa itself was invented by Dahlberg and his producer Mona Sjöström who wanted to create a children's rhyme with both rhythm and inspiration from Africa. It was also he and his children who were heard in the theme used during the first twelve years. Dahlberg was also responsible for the earlier intro for Barnprogram on TV2 ("Kom nu rå – vaddå – barnprogram i tevetvå!!"). The intro was made by graphic artist/animator Bryan Foster. It featured the dragon that was then featured in the new intro produced by the Dallas agency that started in 1999.
