Byron and Dook's current love triangle with Bea made me think about what a great theme song "Maude" had...what are some of your favorite TV themes?


"And Then There's Maude" by Dave Grusin and Andrew Bergman



Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didnt' care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.

Isadora was the first bra burner
And you're glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.

And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's

That old compromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizing,
Right on Maude.

Cheers! great song!

"Are you ready, kids?...

Aye Aye, Captain!!

I can't hear yooooou...

AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!!

Ohhhhh....

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!
Spongebob Squarepants!
If nautical nonsense be something you wish...
Spongebob Squarepants!
Then drop on the deck and flub like a fish!
Spongebob Squarepants!

Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!

Spongebobbbb...
...Squarepaaaaants!!

Ha ha haaaa..!!"

"The Prisoner"

and

The Beverly Hillbillies

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol' Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there
Said Californy is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is.
Swimmin pools, movie stars.

The Beverly Hillbillies!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Sung at the end of the show:

Well now its time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You’re all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Gotta admit, the banjo playing on that song was fierce..lol

Diff'rent Strokes

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

and so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby

NORM!





Cheers

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came...

Sounds like the Org

My all time fave is the theme to The Greatest American Hero. Also, the theme to Hardcastle and McCormick rocked! (These selections could be attributed to the fact that I had a thing for white dudes with afros back in the day.)

applekisses said:

I had forgot about that one.

Fresh Prince too. I set that one as one of my ringtones.

And the Smurfs.....it was so dramatic, especially the part where the thunder crashed and Gargamel appeared.

The Pink Panther Theme - the inimitable sax theme

ThreadBare said:

they were pretty catchy.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I heard this ska version of that....it sounds pretty good too.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Ooooh, that's actually one of my favorites too.
I used to play that on keyboards as a kid.

Heavenly said:

It's so expressive...the music IS the Pink Panther

JDINTERACTIVE said:

JD, I also dig the Pink Panther theme along with Boston Public, Different World, New York Undercover, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek DS9, Sanford & Son, Fraiser, Earth Final Contact, Simpsons, Cosby Shows and Girlfriends.
