I believe it was a lottery commercial that used the Price is Right theme music in 3 different genres

Opera, Street Band and Jazz, and it made me appreciate the Price Is Right theme song more.

Here is the original and a 2007 recent version.

I find I really enjoy and respect the ones from the 70s and 80s.
I just passed by ALICE and the song is pretty good.

What are some of your favorites?

I thought it was Roxie Roker that sung The Jefferson's theme song, "Moving On Up?"

I have the theme from S.W.A.T as my ringtone anyone who was around in 1976 will remember this one.It actually became a hit song too.

sounds like Steely Dan could do this...

Nope, I didn't know she was a singer. I have 4 or 5 different albums of TV themes and some songs are from the singers singles or albums, a few themes are on more than one compilation. I also have a few TV show soundtracks like Beverly Hills 90210. Ja'Net co-wrote Movin On Up, and it's on an album she released. I guess she made a lot of money from Nelly's version (Batter Up) since his debut album sold over 10 million in the US.

Miami Vice

A-Team

Night Court

NWA Worlwide Wrestling (1986-1988) I know it's not a sitcom, but it was on TV and it is a theme!

New York Undercover

Wonder Woman (Season 3)

Space 1999

Soul Train (1983-1987) I know not a sitcom but it was on TV!!!

How a song can feeling just like the characters and situation that's portrayed

Law & Order SVU

feels just like NYC
