'show's intro' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'gets me mostly hot n bothered' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'bothered' indicates an anagram.
'hot' with its last letter taken away is 'ho'.
'gets'+'me'+'ho'+'n'='getsmehon'
'getsmehon' is an anagram of 'THEME SONG'.

Can you help me to learn more?
