Best TV theme songs - Nubblies.net Forums

VOL · 01-22-2004, 12:29 AM

I ran a search and came up negative so I think I might be safe in this one.
I was given the idea after seeing tonguegina's post in the Final Episodes thread.

What is the best TV theme song?

I happen to be partial to Cheers.

thoughts?

South Park.

tonguegina · 01-22-2004, 12:52 AM

I like the theme song to Scrubs. The one for Welcome Back Kotter is pretty good, too.

Titan · 01-22-2004, 01:09 AM

THERE IT IS!
Fucking Welcome Back Kotter... yeah, that one kicks ass... I wonder if I could download that... I mean... buy it.

tonguegina · 01-22-2004, 01:21 AM

Haha...I had it on my old computer, but it was lost in the upgrade. If I had a way to dow..."buy" it, then I would.

I'd also like to add the Friends theme song to the mix. Sure it's worn thin on us all now, but back in the day it kicked some major ass. I remember watching the Top Ten on VH1 every Saturday morning one summer because it was on the charts for so long. Good video. I wonder if I can find that while I'm looking for Welcome Back Kotter.

While you do that look for Cheers and give me the info on that tongue.

Elegy · 01-22-2004, 01:37 AM

The Samurai Pizza Cats theme song.

I'm assuming cartoons counted too.
Big props to you if you have any idea what I'm talking about with this one. Big props.

fancymeghan · 01-22-2004, 01:51 AM

sanford and son's theme song.

tonguegina · 01-22-2004, 02:18 AM

Very nice, meg. Very nice indeed.

"If I had a way" being the key words.

Oh...and two more, then I'm done...for now. The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock. Anyone?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit for your consideration: The Greatest American Hero Theme

I don't know that I've ever seen the show, but somehow know all the lyrics to it's magnificent theme. If you don't know what it is, download it immediately.

Honorable Mention:
Full House
Golden Girls (admit it, you know it too)
Get a Life (originally it was 'Stand' by REM)
Perfect Strangers

I want to come back and say one that I sang all through one of my track seasons. The Facts of Life theme song.

that one was great.

silver and cold · 01-23-2004, 02:06 PM

The old Lavern and Shirly theme song.
That or The Monkeys, if any one remembers that!

onto morning stars · 01-25-2004, 04:12 AM

murder she wrote
not that its that good it just gets stuck in your head if you hear it and thats kind of annoying but catchy i guess

sim_flex_x · 01-25-2004, 06:54 PM

Welcome back Kotter rocked, the song and the show, you can download the song from kazaa

I liked flipper a lot, who doesn't love a song about a dolphin?

and if we're counting cartoons I used to sing Mia the Bee all the time. No one ever remembers it though, that and the Lil Bits. I miss those shows

StDx · 01-26-2004, 02:41 AM

When I wake up in the morning
And the 'larm lets out a warning
I don't think I'll ever make it on time
By the time I got my books I give myself a look
I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus slide by

It's alright cause I'm saved by the bell

If the teacher pops a test I know I'm a mess
And my dog ate all my homework last night
Riding low in my chair she won't know that I'm there
If I can hand it in tomorrow it'll be alright

It's alright cause I'm saved by the bell

Pliedes · 01-26-2004, 02:55 AM

I like the song by "Zack Attack"... damn, what's it called...

StDx · 01-26-2004, 03:03 AM

some Zack Atack songs:

Saved by the Bell
Don't Leave with Your Love
Go For It!
Love Me Now
Make My Day
Friends Forever
Did We Ever Have a Chance?
Deep Within My Heart
Surfer Dude
Gone Hawaiian
School Song

The one you're probably referring to is 'Friends Forever'.

Do you remember the group 'Hot Sundae' from the same show?

Cocktooth · 01-26-2004, 01:30 PM

zack attack didnt sing half those songs man....zach attack was the band...not the choir....

Cocktooth · 01-26-2004, 01:31 PM

by the way....the best song...fresh prince of Bel Air or Gilligan's Island

Scarlet · 02-14-2004, 02:11 AM

the best song has to be..."The brady Bunch" come on who doesnt no that song

VOL · 02-16-2004, 03:22 PM

Everyone knows the Brady Bunch song; however I don't believe it's that good. And "Friends Forever" by Zack Attack was good indeed.

fancymeghan · 02-16-2004, 08:52 PM

shit, hot sundae was all about going platinum, but then jessie had to fuck up their chances by downing pills....what a fucking bitch.
