What is the greatest television theme song?

I kind of lean toward Peter Gunn, but there are so many.

Mancini wrote it, btw.

Love Burn Notice! Every couple of years I’ll binge watch the series.

Y’know how one of my cats is Maris Crane? Another, who died in 2020, was Fiona Glenanne.

The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory.

His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he’d command F Troop.

Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin’
Where pale face and redskin
Both turn chicken.

When drilling and fighting get them down,
They know their morale can’t droop.
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom

F Troop.

I just listened to the Captain Kangaroo theme. Amazing what a sophisticated piece of music it was. When I tell my children that our children’s cartoons sang opera ie Mighty Mouse the hardly believe me.

Wow! Those hot string instruments were sawing away like mad in that version!

I can just see the rehearsal...

“Again.”

“AGAIN.”

“AGAIN!!!!”

All the string players shoulders slump...:)

*** It’s not good because it’s old. It’s good because it’s good.***

I like that. It gives the next generation hope that they can also do “good” things, which we know they can.

Hogans Hero’s. A wonderful ditty that evokes a jaunty attitude with a marching beat.

“ Star Trek TOS”

Did you know that Roddenberry actually wrote lyrics to that song so he could get an extra production credit and get paid for it even though it was not his music.

I have the fight theme from TOS as the bell on my phone. But no I did not know there were any lyrics to the theme.

used the great Traffic tune “Glad” from the John Barleycorn Must Die LP as their lead in music.

Hartwick soccer team, when they were Div 1 ranked, used to warm up to their games with that song.

I need to get it. Some years ago a dvd version was produced, and I almost bought it, but two things threw me off- it was $80 for the complete set I would’ve bit the bullet and bought it anyway, but all the reviews I read said the picture and sound quality was horrible.
Not gonna spend that much money for a bad copy.

This is a long thread but did anybody mention the X-Files theme music?

I can listen to that music forever and ever.

I was in high school band, and we played selections from it at a concert. The band teacher and our parents were mostly WWII Vets, so they enjoyed it!
And I really enjoyed playing it.
