Favorite TV Theme Songs!!!!!!
 
I THINK my all time favorite is.... ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!

PeppyGPhiB 11-10-2008 03:02 PM

I LOVED the Growing Pains theme, and Laverne & Shirley.

SydneyK 11-10-2008 03:05 PM

Although I don't watch the show (hubby loves it), I really dig the theme song for Two and a Half Men. Once it gets in my head, it's there for a while!

Senusret I 11-10-2008 03:07 PM

By the way, I thought I searched well enough, but apparently we already did this thread: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=71162

My bad!

wolffootball37 11-10-2008 04:42 PM

Lost..... oh wait. ;)

I really like the Sopranos theme! Cheers would have to be my favorite old school theme though.

OneTimeSBX 11-10-2008 04:43 PM

what??? you all are crazy....GOLDEN GIRLS!!!!

NutBrnHair 11-10-2008 04:57 PM

Mary Tyler Moore Show!

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

Welcome Back Kotter


Great theme for a great show that just doesn't get enough replay.

Unregistered- 11-10-2008 07:24 PM

You try getting this out of your head.
 
Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

How about this?

"And when we think about you, IT MAKES US WANT TO FART!"

LttleMsPrEp 11-10-2008 07:30 PM

.. i forgot all about Different Strokes.. idk it's something about the 70's and 80's they had pretty awesome theme songs!! Let's not forget Brady Bunch..

Here's a story of a lovely lady
who was bringing up 3 very lovely girls
all of them had hair of gold.. like their mother.. the youngest one in curls
here's a story of man named Brady
who was busy with 3 boys of his own
they were 4 men living all together
yet they were all alone
til the one when that lady met this fellow and they knew they were much more than a bunch
that this group could somehow form a family.. that's the way we all become the brady bunch..
the brady bunch..the brady bunch.. that's the wayy we became the brady bunch..

MASH!!!!! Even though you can only hum to it I still love it.

Senusret I 11-10-2008 09:04 PM

^^^ MASH has lyrics:

Suicide is Painless
(Theme from M*A*S*H*)

Through early morning fog I see,
Visions of the things to be,
The pains that are withheld for me,
I realize and I can see...

[REFRAIN]:

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make,
All our little joys relate,
Without that ever-present hate,
But now I know that it's too late, and...

[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway.
The losing card I'll someday lay,
So this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat,
And lay it down before I'm beat,
And to another give my seat,
For that's the only painless feat.

[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins.
It doesn't hurt when it begins.
But as it works its way on in,
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me,
to answer questions that are key.
Is it to be or not to be?
And I replied 'Oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

...And you can do the same thing if you choose.

How did I forget Diff'rent Strokes & Dark Wing Duck? Those are two phenomenal songs.

Also, I think I can listen to the theme from Star Trek: Voyager forever.

Salute your shorts!

I'm personally a big fan of Three's Company, because you don't know one of the lines but it's still stuck in your head so you have to sing it, Golden Girls, and the Muppet Show.

This is what we call the Muppet SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOW!

nikki1920 11-11-2008 12:55 PM

JEM and the HOLOGRAMS.

honeychile 11-11-2008 01:55 PM

I guess saying 60 Minutes would be pretty boring, eh? How about The Beverly Hillbillies?

When I was little, I loved the opening of the Bugs Bunny Show.

CrackerBarrel 11-11-2008 02:11 PM

The Muppet Show:
It's the Muppet Show with our Very Special Guest Star, ...

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
t's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.

Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show!

(Gonzo blows his trumpet)

groovypq 11-11-2008 02:14 PM

oh Muppet Show, how I love you...
