View Full Version : "Movin' On Up"...best TV theme ever???
catlover79 01-10-2007, 05:25 PM It's definitely in my top 5. My other fave TV themes are Barney Miller, Kojak, Sanford & Son and Hunter.
I have a funny story about the song. Since I was born while the show was still on the air (in '79) , I was still fairly little by the time it went off the air. I would dance to the song when it came on the TV and I was very confused by the lyric, "we finally got a piece of the pie". At that young age, I actually thought they meant real pie. I remember thinking "what's so special about that? Have an apple pie, pumpkin pie, or a blueberry pie!". That was back when I took all the song lyrics I heard literally. LOL

lil_weezy 01-22-2007, 02:27 PM I love the song....but i hate that this car commerical is using it to advertise the car....and the lady that is singing it....took the joy out of the song for me....she can't hold a candle to the original singer of the song, Ja'Net Dubois.
PrettyinPink55 01-23-2007, 01:27 AM It's definetly up there!! :D
I can't believe you don't like the theme song, Solomon! Why??
TVFactFan 01-23-2007, 01:30 AM It's definetly up there!! :D

Janet Dubois didn't sound good singing it
comedyfreak 01-25-2007, 06:46 AM I don't think it is the best theme ever, but it is on my top 10.
gilligan fanatic 01-25-2007, 09:47 AM I like it, but it is way overplayed. Some people know the song, but don't know what it goes too. What is good about the GI theme is you have to know what show it goes to.
wezzyfan 01-25-2007, 06:56 PM Good times themes was suppose to be like the jeffersons theme but only oppesite of the jeffersons. and good times was suppose to be movin on down to the south side.
that what i read on the good times board.

I rather this board be DEAD than see posts from fans like you-lol Why the hell are you responding to your own thread? Is sometthing wrong at home? You must really be lonely
USATVFAN 03-18-2007, 04:33 PM I Dont Want To Be Mean But Talking To TvResearcher is like talking to a wall and he questions everything i post and eveything you guys post and it is impossible to talk to him and get along when he has to question everything i post so iam adding him to my ignore list before i say something nasty to him .

Zoneboy 03-18-2007, 05:05 PM Hate the song but love the Show

sugamama 03-18-2007, 10:41 PM I like the Jefferson's theme song. It has a lot of SOUL.

Solomon, Weezyfan is not responding to THEIR OWN THREAD. It is CATLOVER'S thread. Weezyfan merely bumped it up. Something I don't mind considering it has been dead around here. And we have new people who want to post on old threads.

Thank Irene For Sticking Up.

No prob. :wave:
I think the Jeffersons theme has been mentioned more than any other theme on television. I won't swear to it, but on King of Queens the theme has been mentioned and sang at least three times. I know I have heard it mentioned by other shows.

Oh, that's right. I am trying to remember more shows.
Janice 03-24-2007, 10:40 PM I've always loved the Jefferson's theme song. It's catchy and perfect for the show. A classic, and definitely in my top five.
camdog 03-26-2007, 12:59 PM i love the jefferson theme song "movin on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky"
catlover79 09-24-2009, 12:17 PM Since I've been watching the DVDs, I can't get that song out of my head. I can't get enough of it!! :D
