Favorite theme song
 

Sorry if this has been done before, lock it if it has and no one wants to do it again.

Mine would have to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.

Theme song as far as what? TV show? Movie? TV commercial?

Whatever, I was thinking TV shows, but if you wanna do one for a commercial or movie, or even a video game thats cool, I actually really like old school nintendo music

boopidy bop wah wah....FULL HOUSE!

Alias:thumbsup:

for movies I'd have to say Superman:The Movie and for TV shows I'd go with The Sopranos

Taxi

Kim Possible. Even though I have a TiVo, I still watch the whole opening credits. The Tick (animated version) was also good. And don't forget The Muppet Show!

I'd have to say may favourites in no particular order are:

the original cartoon of Spiderman
Angel
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
Gilligan's Island
Hong Kong Phooey
Scooby Doo (the original)

Buffy
West Wing
Battlestar Galactica

oh...and another vote for The Muppet Show

Sanford and Son has got to be my favorite ever. And yes, another vote for The Muppet Show.

Those Japanese Anime theme songs...I can't point out which one in particular...'cause all are fawking awsome.

also

At the threshold of an Era
Condor heroes '94
condor heroes return '95

Beverly Hillbillies

The Kids in the Hall
Sportscenter
The Munsters (fun to play on the guitar)

I'll think of more

As for video game music, I love the music that plays under the final "Movie" scene in the original Ninja Gai-Den on the NES. A friend of mine from high school actually sent me an mp3 of an orchestra playing it. It's beautiful

Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire
The Family Guy
The Simpsons

As for movies, the opening music to Monty Python and the Holy Grail really amuses me for some reason...

Kids In The Hall
King Of The Hill
Beavis And Butt-Head
Beavis And Butt-Head Do America

step by step.
southpark
chapelle show

Muppet Show

Good Morning Miami

I dunno if it's still on but yeah....

mmmmmmmmmmm John Rzeznik...

Here are a few of mine:
Scooby Doo (the original)
The Simpsons
Sponge Bob
Days of Our Lives
CSI
ER
I think that is about it.

Which CSI?

Vegas or Miami

For a neophyte type of theme song. I like the new "Black Eyed Peas" spot for the NBA play-offs. I think it fits very well.

Metal Gear Solid
The Simpsons
Star Wars
LOTR
Family Guy
Cowboy Bebop
The Tick (animated version)
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 7
Knights of The Old Republic
Max Payne (1 & 2)
Need For Speed 2,3
The Matrix (all)

Hockey Night In Canada

*the N64 donkey kong theme song...my friend burned a cd of all old nintendo theme songs and this one sounds amazing with bass. (i love my new sub)

*Shaft....its a classic hehe

Imperial March

oh come on its not that good!

Hill Street Blues (showing my age here)
Fraggle Rock (it was a kids programme did people in America ever see this ?)
Angel
Red Dwarf - Soon to be a film yeah !

Star Trek: The Next Generation. EXCELLENT piece, and, musically, it can stand the test of time too. Star Trek DS9 and Voyager are close behind.

The Enterprise theme can rot in Hell.

i cannot believe that no one has said...

Captain Planet!

oh, Hockey Night in Canada is great, so is the original batman series'

deadwood's theme is good too, puts you in the mood to watch the show really well

*edit* the simpsons is superb

MASH
Taxi
Coach

Nickelodeon's The Tomorrow People.

Both versions.

Instrumentals

Wild Wild West (The Robert Conrad/Ross Martin version)
M*A*S*H (although the lyrics as sung in the movie are cool)
Hill Street Blues
St. Elsewhere
Benny Hill's Runaway Sax

And the ones with lyrics

Gilligan's Island
Addams Family
Maverick (The James Garner/Jack Kelly/Roger Moore version)
Cheers
All In The Family

I LOVED Fraggle Rock :) I'm still tryin to find old episodes....

Best theme song?

Um... my votes would have to go to....
Family Guy
Fresh Prince of Bell Air
Murder She Wrote
Little House on the Prairie

Sopranos definately.

Also: the A-team!!! kick-ass theme song for sure.

And the Empire Carpet commercials have a nice jingle...

Farscape
Adaams Family
Um... The Daily Show With Jon Stewart -j/k
I just love the daily show.

Trucks TV:D

ASTRO BOY

hands down.

The X-Men theme from the animated series. dun dun dun dun dun, DUN DUN.
Oh man. I'll have to spend a few hours just humming that now.

I have to say...Miami Vice was awesome

three's company

and ofcourse, Star wars..

How could I ever forget 3 great ones:

Sanford and Son

Wasn't the rocky & bullwinkle theme great as well?

Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but best TV theme shows were from 80's action shows-
Knight Rider
A-Team
Dukes of Hazzard
Great American Hero

honorable mention-
LA Law
Miami Vice

props to sanford and son. stevie wonder's harp and quincy jones producing, that jam is where it is at.

the theme to S.W.A.T was wicked cool too. and of course, the oscar winning theme to shaft.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme is an awesome song. Bob Mould of Husker Du covered it brilliantly. We used to play it in a band I was in sometimes as an encore and everyone would leave the bar singing "you're gonna make it after all."

I'd have to second that - Hong Kong Phooey.

The original, instrumental theme for the show "Monk" is the best.

They changed it after the first season to a stupid song by Randy Newman.

You can still hear the original theme song over the show's closing credits, though.

what about the theme to renegade

it's pretty funny because there is a voiceover explaining how Lorenzo Lamas cycled his way into outlaw-hood

Talking funny themes what about Lee Majors singing the "Fall Guy" theme. Now that was classic.

"I ain't one to kiss and tell
But I been seen with Farrah.........."

My thoughts exactly.

Also, the theme they played before Bugs Bunny, etc. cartoons.

Bah! you call those songs...


Tank! - from Cowboy Bebop

007

I like the theme from "Barney Miller". I wish there was a longer version, but unfortunately the 48-second TV series theme was all Jack Elliot and Allyn Ferguson wrote.

TV: NFL Primetime, they should release a CD with the music from the show. I would actually go out and spend $20 on it.
Video Game: Tecmo Super Bowl
Movie: Mission Impossible

The Riven theme is cool.

Car Wash... from the movie Car Wash.

Enough to make me pop in CB right now.....

almost all anime openings
original naruto
noir
NGE in particular

I loved that show, and that song, too.

Dick Dale -- Miserlou (The beginning of Pulp Fiction)

For TV shows, it's a toss up between Beavis and Butthead and Batman (the 90s animated series... best when actually seeing the opening sequence; the music just flowed with the pictures so well).

For video games, Monkey Island 1 & 2 get my vote.

The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Futurama
Megas XLR
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

if i had a show i'd make Opeth's "Black Rose Immortal" the theme song.

Then just have 2 minutes of filler, possibly old ads, for a show.

Cowboy Bebop (the Seat Belts - Tank)
Family Guy
Angel
X-Files

King of the Hill
Pinky and the Brain
Magnum PI
Hunter

wondering when somebody was going to mention this

TMNT
X-Files
Monday Night Football
NFL Primetime
Sportscenter takes the cake!

I can't believe nobody's said it yet:

<font size=16>AQUATEEN HUNGER FORCE!!!</font>

aqua teen hunger force is good, but my vote goes to King of the Hill!!!!

King of the Hill
South Park
Charmed
Drew Carey Show (Cleavland Rocks)
Working
The Wonder Years
The Sopranos
Crime Story

i concur with
Beavis And Butt-Head
Beavis And Butt-Head Do America
Southpark
Aqua Teen hunger force
