You can select from any show or sitcom from any era. What is the funkiest theme song you've ever heard?

It was close, and I still couldn't decide:

Living Color
Martin

The Tracy Ullman Show's "You're Thinking Right" by George Clinton. (If it's Clinton, it's got to be funky )

Starsky and Hutch (second theme , by Tom Scott)

I Spy

Fat Albert ("Na, na na, gonna have a good tiiiime...")

maybe not "funky" in a classic way, but I always loved Streets of San Francisco, pretty tight!

OMG! How could I forget Rhythm Heritage's "Theme From S.W.A.T."! (Loved the show too!) The long version was hot!

I had forgotten about SWAT
Living Color is still the only theme that I would actually dance too.

Mission Impossible

The theme from the first movie is BAD. Had to download it

DITTO

This is a no-brainer for me.

Sanford and Son - by Quincy Jones

my favorite is the highlander theme song "Princes of the Universe" by Queen.

Damn You Beat ME To It!

Sanford and Son
Rookies
Barney Miller
The Jeffersons
Good Times
Seinfeld

Sanford and Son

Hands down....Sanford and Son

Close second: The theme from "Golden Girls"

Smooches;)

"We are Livin'....Single. In a 90's kinda world, I'm glad I got my girl"....man, I still watch re-runs of "Livin' Single" just to sing along to the theme song. Plus, the "Love Boat" theme was pretty catchy. There are soo many for me...."Family Matters", "Full House", "A Different World", and "Saved By the Bell." I still remember all of them, even though I barely ever watched these shows. I just tuned in for the theme songs and then changed the channel.

Why edit? Because, "It's my perogative." That Bobbie was a hoot.

Sanford and Son, definitely. When I saw this title, I couldn't think of any other tunes that come close.

Well, except the theme to I Dream Of Genie.

Barretta's Theme - Sammy Davis, Jr. version

Sanford & Son - Mom says that I used to rock to that song as a baby. It still makes me move 30 odd years later.

Diff'rent Strokes

off the top of my head :

Sanford & Son
Barney Miller
The White Shadow

it's hard to mentally go through all the THOUSANDS of tv shows that have been on the air..

Barney Miller (sort of jazzy, funk)
Fat Albert
Sanford and Son
Wonder Woman
CHIPs

And I always loved The Jeffersons and Good Times songs, but they were more gospel than funk.

My fav. theme song...ever it's not that funky though.
Dorothy,Blanche,Sophia,and Rose are too cool.

Def Poetry
Law & Order
Nightcourt

I forgot, also the theme to Body Works, haha for you Canadian children of the 80s.



Those horns were so funky, made u exercise with that Hippo!

I too am a fan of The Golden Girls, but I think the funky comment was a joke

As far as funky goes, I've always been partial to the Good Times theme. One of my favorite shows of all-time, and hands-down my fave theme song. I've even got the ring tone on my phone!

You don't believe me?

BODY WORKS Theme (742kb)
