I kind of lean toward Peter Gunn, but there are so many.
Mancini wrote it, btw.

‘’Trailer Park Boys.
So relaxing.”

I agree 100%! So sweet, so nostalgic! A mini vignette unto itself.
I like Monk’s S1 theme better, but both suited the character.

The opening to DS9.
Frankie Lane also sang the great theme song for the equally great movie: Blazing Saddles

The opening theme to 'Hunter' is a good one.
'The Six Million Dollar Man' theme is catching.
'The A-Team' is good one too.
'Cheers', 'All In The Family', and 'The Office' are depressing.
'The Kids In The Hall' theme "Having an Average Weekend" by Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet is very fitting.
The "Cleveland Rocks" theme for 'The Drew Carey Show' is great tune and the acting during the intro suits it well.
This was my choice — one that a lot of people overlook
The Wire theme song was the BEST!!
You know what. At 1:13 in the Dark Shadows music is the little riff they play in the movie On a clear day I think. When Barbra Streisand, as ‘Daisy’ has some sort of memory of her past or something. I wonder if that was an inside joke.
“Gilligan’s Island” & The Beverly Hillbillies”
You win!
Johnny Quest
Top Cat
Obvious answer is obvious.
The theme song (opening credits) for Invader Zim.
How about the theme song from “The Great One”— Jacky Gleason and the Honeymooners.
Peter Rabbit
Underdog
LOL...the Theme to Gilligan’s Island has a special place in my memory!
Back in the early 2000’s my wife and I went on a sailing trip on a 42 foot catamaran down in the Abacos with three other couples, what a time. I think one of the most fun vacations of my life. We dropped anchor one day at a place called “Nippers” (Website: http://www.nippersbar.com/index.html)
Nippers is basically an entire island only a few hundred yards across in the Abacos in the Caribbean. You can only get there by boat. I went down there on a 40 foot catamaran with 7 other people, and as the sun was setting, there were boats from all points of the compass converging on this place.
As we walked up, there were people heading the other way leaving, in various states of intoxication, and I recall one pretty, grinning girl saying to us in a high, lilting voice “You’ll be sooorrrryyyyyyyy...”
My last semi-sober memory was all of us sitting in the sand on the beach in front of the place singing the theme song to “Gilligan’s Island”. I became so skunked I pitched forward, head first into the sand trying to stand up and jammed my neck. Causes problems until this day...
It was the most...er...well, I can only describe what took place there as “bacchanalia”.
It wasn’t until we had left, when I heard a song composed by a singer “The Barefoot Guy” that I knew it was COMPLETELY on target, and encapsulated the entire experience. I could not have been, and obviously wasn’t, the first.
The name of the song is: “At Nippers”
“AT NIPPERS”
I recall tequila in Mexico
Potato Moonshine from Idaho
Octoberfest out in Germany
But I can’t remember two weeks last September
When I was on Guana Key
I was at Nippers
They say I was passed out cold
At Nippers
I was dancin’ naked, or so I was told
At Nippers
Round the corner by the old fig tree
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
Three notches past tipseeeee
I recall the best wine from Gay Paree
Straight white rum from Miami
Bourbon Whiskey from old skid row
But I can’t remember
Two weeks last September
When I was in Abaco
I was at Nippers
I hear there’s a real grand view
At Nippers
Well, if it’s there, I ain’t got a clue
At Nippers
Round the corner by the old fig tree
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
Three notches past tipseeeee
I’ve consumed hot sake in Tokyo
And chilly vodka on old Moscow
When it comes to drinkin’ I’m versatile
Hey, but I can’t remember
Two weeks last September
On that Bahamian Isle
I was at Nippers
I hear the food is great
At Nippers
Oh, I lost my partial plate
At Nippers
Round the corner by the old fig tree
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
Three notches past tipseeeee
At Nippers
Down in Abaco
At Nippers
Hey, my friends, that’s where I’m layin’ low
At Nippers,
Round the corner by the old fig tree
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
Three notches past tipseeeee
At Nippers
Down in Abaco
That’s where I’m layin’ low
At Nippers,
Round the corner by the old fig tree
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
Three notches past tipseeeee
Agreed! “Where am I?”
What a kickass intro that was to Johnny Quest...as a young boy, it sure did fire my imagination. Scuba diving, flying around on your personal jet, flying around with a jetpack on your back and a bazooka in your hand...giant spider things with soldiers shooting at them with machine guns!
All to that pounding, hot jazz!
