Greatest tv theme songs

[Guest Choken One]

There have been so many great Tv theme songs, so I was wondering what were your favs?

 

Mine? M*A*S*H had a great one (And can anyone tell me who sings the Full lyrical version of that song? It's in the movie).

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

The following FOX series:

X-Men

Spider-Man

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (had the same thing up until Zeo)

 

The following other shows:

Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (I know all of the words to the standard version of this song, somehow)*

ExoSquad

Now this is a story all about how

My life got flipped, turned upside down

And I'd like to take a minute, so just sit right there

And I'll tell ya how I became a Prince in the town called Bel-Air

 

In West Philadelphia, born and raised

On the playground is where I spent most of my days

Chillin' out, relaxing, shooting some hoops

Playing some B-Ball, I thought I was cool

Then a couple of guys, who were up to no good

Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight, and my mom got scared

She said "you're movin' with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air"

 

I whistled for a cab, and then it came near

The license plate said "FRESH" and he had a dice in the mirror

If anything, I can say the discount was rare

But I thought "Nah, forget it, YO HOMES TO BEL-AIR!"

 

I pulled up to the house abotu 7 or 8 or...

And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo homes, smell ya later!"

Arrived at my kingdom, I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air!

[Guest]

hey, I hate to sound like a bitch, but you messed up some of the Fresh Prince lyrics

it goes:

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

and all, shooting some b-ball, outside of the school

 

also,

discount=this cab,

arrived at=looked at

... theyre easy mistakes to make, the closed captioning for the show screws up nearly every line

 

and my favorite tv theme: Sanford and Son

How did no one mention Who's the Boss, and I don't feel like going back to check but did anybody mention Golden Girls. I never even liked the show but the theme song was cool.

God... my fiancee watch's that show every night at 11 on lifetime and I have to hear that them song twice a night.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

"The Twilight Zone", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", "Saved by the Bell", "Spiderman", "The Simpsons", Cowboy Bebop's theme (don't know the exact name, someone mentioned it earlier anyway)... hmmm... that's it for right now.

[Guest starvenger]

Somehow I forgot to mention Night Court.  LOVED the bass intro...

 

And while it's not a great theme, my brother managed to remember the entire Doogie Howser theme after watching the Undercover Brother ads.  Just wanted to mention that...

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Sanford and Son is such a great theme that I burned the full version onto a CD. Quincy Jones is a genius

[Guest chirs3]

Cowboy Bebop's theme (don't know the exact name, someone mentioned it earlier anyway)

 

It's called "Tank!"

 

Dunno why the ! is in the title, but oh well.

 

For personal favorites, I'm adding the "Law and Order" theme (none of the spinoffs, just the original), and the old X-Men theme... the cartoon that came on Fox, Saturday mornings, I guess about 6-9 years ago.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

...and the old X-Men theme... the cartoon that came on Fox, Saturday mornings, I guess about 6-9 years ago.

Whoa... I remember that now that you mention it, that was a damn good theme.  What's with animation and good themes? I know some of those X-men cartoons were released on video back in the day, anyone know off hand if they are still in print or (yea right) a DVD release is planned? Maybe they could be released to cash in on X-Men 2 next year, so we remember how the X-Men are supposed to be.
