Title: What's the best TV theme song?
Post by: NUKE on April 27, 2005, 01:09:12 AM: I'd say Waylon Jennings "Dukes of Hazard" song was one of the best......plus he narrated the series. Just a good song all around.

Others: The "Cheers" song was very good, The Partrige family song was good. The "Friends" song was well known, but sucked.

Anyone have others?

The Happy Days song too. ( it was a song way before Happy Days)

Post by: GREENTENERAL on April 27, 2005, 01:23:21 AM: One of my very favorite theme songs would have to be the one for "Welcome back Cotter" written by John Sabatian of The Lovin Spoonful.

Another was the theme song to The Fat Albert Show, and if you don't like it.......Bills gonna teach you a thing or 2!

Favorite soundtrack: the one for "Bladerunner" by Vangelis

another soundtrack: the one for "Superfly" by Curtiss Mayfield

Title: What's the best TV theme song?
Post by: Chairboy on April 27, 2005, 09:58:51 AM: I know this will sound like strike two to some of you, but I'm not kidding this time.

The theme song to American Idol is catchy.

I'm not saying it's the best, just that it's very catchy.

I'm thinking that the six megabuck man, Greatest American Hero, Dora the Explorer, and the revised theme song they used in the last couple seasons of Deep Space Nine are pretty darn good.

Oh yeah, and a second on Rawhide.

Post by: Airhead on April 27, 2005, 08:38:38 PM: 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.

No it wasn't

"The Fishin' Hole" by Everett Sloane, Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.

What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.

Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.

What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.

If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.

Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.
