favorite TV show theme songs
Generally pretty short but songs all the same. Anyone have any particular theme songs that stick out in your mind? I think there are some pretty great ones out there.
Kids in the Hall - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-avHA_9SvY The Adventures of Pete and Pete - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnqeeBdGhh4 Rocko's Modern Life - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtyCUa6zVgY Mystery Science Theatre 3000 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLGTY-pQj3I Sanford and Son - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WqazleR3FE |
I was gonna say The Adventures of Pete and Pete, but you beat me to the punch! That show featured some killer tunes. Good call on MST3K and Kids in the Hall too.
Daria - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UslR8...eature=related The Hollowmen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS_dkJ1Lg8A Space Ghost Coast to Coast - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA8Jn-mMfk4 |
Yeah, definitely. Every song on that show is amazing.

I think the best music on any show is probably Mighty Boosh, though the theme is only like 10 seconds long and doesn't communicate much so that's why I didn't include it. But overall, best music on a show, ever. That death metal song about the killer grannies? The EELS UP INSIDE YA!/nu rave! song? FUTURE SAILORS? BOUNCY BOUNCY!?!?!!? Just amazing.
...And yeah the Are You Afraid of the Dark theme still fills me with dread... THE MASK: THE ANIMATED SERIES theme is another fav... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzdR421Ekv8 ... reminds me of something Mr. Bungle would throw in the middle of a song as a joke.. |
Good call on pete and pete btw.
IT'S KINDA STRANGE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LEAFY RANGE *something something AND HAVE YOU something something* AY YI YI YI something hey sandy yeah. ...great song! |
anyway, since you all like the kids in the hall theme, check out the welcome freshmen theme.. it is cool in the exact same way..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOQM5OQEzu8 OH FUCK HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE POWER RANGERS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgQhyquS9Ms (intro version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqmx8...eature=related (full length version) I wish I could find THE STATE theme song on youtube.. |
Some pretty great ones here I haven't heard before. Like Daria (yeah, known about it for years, just never bothered), that Hollowmen theme was great, as was Sorry.
Yeah, the Welcome Freshmen theme is badass. I always try to remember things about the show but I can't really remember anything. Other than the guy with the atomic farts. The cool thing about Nickelodeon shows is that a great majority of them have really cool theme songs. Like all the ones listed, also there was Hey Arnold!, Angry Beavers, Rugrats, Aaaaah! Real Monsters!, well maybe mostly their cartoons. But Alex Mack's theme is pretty cool too, simple but neat. The Home Movies theme is really great too, even though there are like four versions of it, they're all pretty good. The show rarely played the full theme, usually about ten seconds of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wTHI...eature=related Another show full of great original songs. |
Beavis and Butthead theme is pretty cool. One of few songs I ever learned to play on guitar.
|
TWIN PEAKS.
and also, THE WIRE, which has, for each season, a different version of the song "Way Down in the Hole" by Tom Waits (including Waits' version, for season 3 I think) |
|
Yeah, the Wire's theme is great. My favorites are first and third season.

men in black: the series sick ass song. should have been an adult cartoon series |
Does Corona by the Minute Men count?
|
Haha yeah sure, why not.
|
curb your enthusiasm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1o3koTLWM the soundtrack to that show is great. |

I was addicted to that show. The Outer Limits gets a head up for similar era niceness as well. At the same time (speaking of canadian programming), I was addicted to Catwalk but that was purely a guilty pleasure. |
Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
Kenan & Kel The Adventures Of Pete and Pete |
Breaking Bad has a cool one, its only 15 seconds or so long though. The True Blood theme definitely works. Every other one I thought of has been taken.
|
The Sopranos theme was great imo.
|
My faves
Monday Night Football theme CHiPS theme Duke's Of Hazzard Sanford & Son (quincy Jones genius funky!) It's Always sunny in Philadelphia (love how the "champagne music" contrasts so harshly with the rude debauchery and degenerate nature of the show) Cheers (my fave ever) |
MASH
|
two pages....and NO! SEALAB 2021?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5SiJM4sbqI this is seriously best theme song ever... |
Haha true. Even though I didn't really like Sealab, I loved the hell out of the theme. Same goes for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Some more good ones: Trailer Park Boys - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI6Drn3OA70 Dexter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej8-Rqo-VT4 Twilight Zone(for some reason I find it strange Outer Limits got mentioned and not this) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi6wNGwd84g Gumby - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhczFRlBT2E Eureeka's Castle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpnZPM99JSM FreshChops, Pee-Wee's Playhouse is mindblowing, great call. |
Two outstanding anime themes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZJYxy2060c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6zDfxZ4NcE Another Personal Favorite theme (I'm a big cartoon guy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_ORAn1xlE |
Hah, I'm kind of ashamed that I didn't think of Cowboy Bebop, great music on that show.
Never really watched Harvey Birdman, I always thought the concept was cool. Neat theme though, I like it. The real Birdman intro is good too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2m45TLVKRs |

it doesn;t rawk but it makes me weep.... |
Twin Peaks, The Sopranos, Treme, Mad Men, Millennium, The Wire, True Blood (though I don't watch the show, I just love the credits). I also kinda like ER
|
twin peaks theme music/opening sequence makes me sleepy. but it's good.
i like the intro song from the IT crowd; it sounds like a blatant rip off of 'are friends electric' |
|
