Coo's Theme is characterized by fast percussion paired with a steady main melody containing several long-held notes. The song can be said to bear a more "serious" tone than either [[Rick's Theme]] or [[Kine's Theme]]. The song itself is fairly quick, and runs in a 4/4 time signature with two main verses of equal length and an introductory non-looping verse which is half the length of one of the main verses.
