Intro/Music video[]
The intro begins with a yellow sky, We see a sign that reads “CITY DUMP”, in black text, next to the sign are red/orange garbage/waste EX: Car Tire, frame by frame, it zoom flashes to Stickyfeet, until reaches Maggie’s carton house. The scene then cuts to a neon pink/light purple striped room, complete with a pink-red star-shaped bed with white trim, and a light purple blanket, with white sheet, Maggie is awake in the bed, with her electric guitar, as she gives an excited emote, she flies out of the screen, The screen cuts to another scene of the room, We see Maggie fly in the screen, as she transforms, into another version of herself “Depending on the Episode” and she flies out of the screen, The screen cuts to a hallway, different outfits and changes back to normal. Maggie rushes and meets her family. Maggie flies all away home and Pupert crashes the door. Again, Maggie plays electric guitar in a colorful backdrop. In outside, Rayna plays drums and Maggie flies through. The two play music and bring back to the stage alongside Pupert. Maggie flies next to the class and the student paints Maggie's rival. Maggie's rival throws the easel and kicks the student. The lunch lady feels unimpressed and the nerds do a science project and their bodies twisted. Maggie rushes back to the hallway and the class' staff felt unimpressed, having a major problem. The class is changed into a stage and Maggie rocks out alongside Rayna and Pupert (on tambourine). The fireworks pop up the stage and Maggie (in class) dreams while rocking on a desk and the teacher feels unimpressed. The screen then cuts to the show's logo (which is the dark red & orange words “The Buzz on Maggie” in a custom font, on a yellow shape-like outline, at the top left of the outline is the red Disney(‘s) logo, and a red star.) zooming out on a orange vortex-like background with stars zooming, and with Maggie Pesky standing next to it, who laughs, Underneath, is the yellow text “Created by Dave Polsky” in Bauhaus 93 font.
Variants: The intro may be in 16x9, but not due to Disney Channel having an Analog TV feed at the time, and Disney+ hasn't been adding the series in HD yet.

Lyrics[]
Full version[]
Hey!
Yeah!
I'm fly
The original
I'm sly
Unpredictable
I'm nearly irresistible
And I don't even try
I'm easily excitable,
Completely undeniable,
And sometimes unreliable.
Don't ask me why,
Don't ask me why (why)
(Chorus)
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
But don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
From a whisper to a shout
On what the buzz
Is all about
Everybody's buggin' out
And I've only just begun
They can't rain on my parade
I'm sunshine on a cloudy day
Make lemons into lemonade
I'm just havin' fun
I'm havin' fun (I'm havin fun)
(Chorus)
Maggie:
Ha ha ha!

Don't ask me why,

(Chorus)
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
But don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
(Chorus x2)
Maggie:
Ha ha ha!
