There's no way "Gilligan's Island" beats the "Theme from Peter Gunn".

Best comedy theme, “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, that little xylophone chime as he trips/walks around the Ottoman.

Where’s “Psycho Dad”? ;)

Who’s that riding into the sun.
Who’s the man with the itchy gun.
Who’s the man who kills for fun!
Psy-cho Dad. Psycho Dad. Psycho Dad!
He sleeps with a gun, but he loves his son.
Killed his wife ‘cause she weighed a ton... Psycho Dad!

A little touched or so we’re told
Killed his wife ‘cause she had a cold.
Might as well, she was gettin’ old.
Psy-cho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.
He’s quick with a gun, and his job ain’t done.
Killed his wife by twenty-one, he’s Psy-cho Dad!

Who’s that riding in the sleigh.
Who’s that firing along the way.
Who’s got the most popped on christmas day?
Psy-cho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there.
The one with the gun and the icy stare.
The one with the scalp of his ex-wife’s hair.
Psy-cho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad!
He’s a durn good pa, but he hates the law.
He’s to eat it raw, Psycho Dad!

Who’s that ridin’ across the plain.
Who’s lost count of the wives he’s slain.
Who is the man who’s plum insane!
Psy-cho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad!

Who’s gonna ride into the sun?
Who’s the man with the itchy gun?
Who’s the man who kills for fun?
Psy-cho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.

As far as instrumentals, I always liked the techno-pop theme music from "Airwolf".

Honorable mention for the theme from "Branded", starring the late Chuck Connors:



All but one man died,
There at Bitter Creek,
And they say he ran away ...

Branded!
Marked with a coward's shame.
What do you do when you're branded,
Will you fight for your name?

He was innocent,
Not a charge was true,
But the world will never know ...

Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?

And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must prove ...
You're a man!

If you’ve never seen an episode, but listen to the song, you have the premise for the comedy.

The theme from Gilligan’s Island is great for ridding yourself of earworms though.

Mission Impossible or Hawaii Five-o. Peter Gunn was great, too.

No lyrics hurts, I guess.
