Worst: the version of the Seinfeld theme music only found in the episode “the note” where they added vocals at the behest of Seinfeld and the composer. https://youtu.be/_S1Bmh3QSK4 It’s so bad. It’s like the one time the execs meddling in a show made the right move.

I could have sworn it was in more than one episode. Maybe that's just because the episode itself is a memorable one.

Game Show theme tune time I'm not going to link or describe each of these songs, mostly because it's a good chunk of them, and there are dozens that are just forgetful (like Wheel of Fortune) GOOD: https://youtu.be/zmt406MEJCI https://youtu.be/nccqmrJuXVE https://youtu.be/jtFAxeML3Qc https://youtu.be/mHups2Txlr4 https://youtu.be/Q6RMtPs48MM https://youtu.be/s1EIUP8tvbE BAD: https://youtu.be/RX7ILf9pmX4 (Sup Seacrest?)

There is one rule for an absolutely banging theme song- do you ever want to just listen to it like music. These may be cheating a little, since they adapted songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFFxiPegAE0 uses "If I Had A Heart", by Fever Ray. Whole song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBAzlNJonO8 And of course, House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4h-zAV0yP8 uses "Teardrop", by Massive Attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s

Sash! posted:I could have sworn it was in more than one episode. Maybe that's just because the episode itself is a memorable one. They had originally put it in three episodes, but the studio was like “gently caress, CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT!” before any of them aired. They didn’t have time to re-edit The Note back to the original theme music so that one aired with the vocals. E:Oh, the studio only found out they did the vocals after The Note aired, I heard that it was immediately before. But they did re-edit the next two to have the original theme.

Good The original theme for Alex Trebek Jeopardy kicked all kinds of rear end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6rHqrLA7aw Bonanza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjdRgBAY278 Darkwing Duck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCrn-wrJW5Y Bad: Monopoly, which aired in 1990. It was a bad idea, bad execution and bad theme. Now you've made me think about this theme for first time since then and I'm upset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdzIndWE3KU

I was always a fan of these, didn't see them mentioned yet: Angel - https://youtu.be/uyfuCZmHZrQ Daredevil - https://youtu.be/U35d0FVoY6Q Agents of SHIELD - https://youtu.be/mmTlWtHYX-M Newsradio - https://youtu.be/n96PR8oY1KY True Detective Season 1: https://youtu.be/Xyu_MdKBXic It probably could be said that all HBO shows have amazing themes/intros, off the top of my head I can also say that the ones for Deadwood, Six Feet Under, From the Earth to the Moon, Game of Thrones, and The Newsroom were fantastic. The only TV intro that I remember not being able to stand at all is Enterprise, especially when I saw how it was supposed to be with Archer's theme.

The lyrics to the Cheers theme are.. interesting. Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot Wouldn't you like to get away? [Verse 2] All those nights when you've got no lights The check is in the mail And your little angel hung the cat up by its tail And your third fiance didn't show [Chorus] Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name [Verse 3] Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead The morning's looking bright And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write And your husband wants to be a girl Be glad, there's one place in the world [Chorus] Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to go where people know, people are all the same You want to go where everybody knows your name [Outro] Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you cam

I thought it was a strange thread to call attention to it, and you didn't leave any other commentary besides bolding one line. The fact that you found my post accusatory is odd, though.

It's as noteworthy for its' time as MASH sticking with "Suicide is Painless". Quit being a dick about it.

MASH's theme song was written by a teenager for an intentionally subversive movie made about and during the Vietnam war so there is nothing surprising about the lyrics. I wasn't expecting a reference to transgenderism in a theme song to a light sitcom from the early 1980s. It seems to be a pretty heavy issue currently so it was odd to see it dropped so lightly that long ago. Could be because Conservatives are playing it up as they no longer have gay marriage as an issue to rally their supporters around. Here have the opening to Soap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BHQT3Omqtw The Incredible Hulk had one of the best end credit songs in TV history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpsneP8Hr-8

PeterCat posted:MASH's theme song was written by a teenager for an intentionally subversive movie made about and during the Vietnam war so there is nothing surprising about the lyrics. I was referring more to their decision to keep the music from the movie to the TV show (although obviously dropping the lyrics), although I certainly could have been clearer. Must have took either big balls or a tremendous oversight on the part of some TV exec in the 70s. The backstory you alluded to on that song is hilarious, too. quote:Director Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for Mandel: it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless" and it had to be the "stupidest song ever written". Altman attempted to write the lyrics himself, but upon finding it too difficult for his 45-year-old brain to write "stupid enough," he gave the task to his 14-year-old-son Michael, who wrote the lyrics in five minutes. quote:During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that while he only made $70,000 for having directed the movie, his son had earned more than $1 million for having co-written the song. note- his kid wrote the lyrics, but not the music.
