It's been a long time since I looked at the score, but in my head, I
hear:

Am I misremembering the theme entirely?

You may be entirely correct. I don't have the score at hand, either. I do remember that it's regular, but that might be its regularity. Thanks! I may be misremembering it through Peter Nero's adaptation of Richard Rodgers' "Dancing On The Ceiling" from the mid-'60s.
