You guys are picking songs that were adopted by TV shows, not songs that were written for TV shows.
The "Rawhide" theme was written for that specific show and is, without question, the most exciting TV song ever written.
It was the Old West...complete with rustlers, steers and Indians, brought to us weekly during prime time, in black and white.
It even had Clint Eastwood, for Chris' sakes. It was the perfect show.
