TV Show Themesongs

PurpleFDU · 10-29-2007, 04:19 PM

I was trying to think of some good theme songs from TV shows and could only come up with a few. I got all the ones from CSI, but not much else. Can anyone give me the names of some theme songs from shows?

Well, I'm a fan of Smallville and I really like the chorus of the theme song which is "somebody save me." I just like the chorus but the verses before the chorus, I don't really listen to it.

Rescue Me - Denis Leary, the song is C'mon, C'mon by the band The Von Bondies, love the song, have to find a copy of it somewhere.

I also found a site that has some Doctor Who recordings of theme songs, the show has been off and on for many years now, but you might want to check them out.

I also watch House and read that, that theme song is the background to a Massive Attack song, but I cant find anything on it.

Do you think the artist is always paid royalties for theme show songs? I always wondered if that was the case or not, even if it was just a sample and not the full song.

I like both the ones for Miami and also LA Ink. Funky Kinkston / Toots & the Maytals (feats Bootsy Collins and The Roots) does Miami, but I cant find out who sings the song for LA, and I only know part of the lyrics.

There is no theme song for Heroes but I hope they will make one someday. Do the theme songs of these TV shows composed after or before the show is completed?

I always liked anything from Benny Hill. Maybe I am showing my age here, but all the jingles really got me into a happy mood!

Quote:

CSI's current theme song used in the United States since inception in 2000, is "Who Are You", written by Pete Townshend with vocals by Roger Daltrey of The Who[10] as the title track of their 1978 album. The show's spinoffs also use The Who songs as their theme songs: "Won't Get Fooled Again" for CSI: Miami and "Baba O'Riley" for CSI: NY, both recorded by The Who in 1971 for their album Who's Next.

from the wikipedia article CSI

House's themesong is listed as Teardrop by Massive Attack.

I am also a fan of themes from older shows such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents (Funeral March of a Marionette-Charles Gounod), The Beverly Hillbillies (The Ballad of Jed Clampett-Flatt & Scruggs), The Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys-Waylon Jennings), Laverne and Shirley (Making Our Dreams Come True-Cyndi Grecco), and Veronica Mars (We Used To Be Friends-The Dandy Warhols). Old school (except Veronica Mars) but they remind me of a much simpler happier time.
