Donny Hathaway sings one of the great feminist anthems of all time in such a way that gets under my skin as he croons about such feminine heroes like Lady Godiva, Joan of Arc, and Betsy Ross. The punctuating words in the song ("Oh...yea!") and upbeat as well as fast-paced organ music, which really is the soul of one of the greatest TV theme songs in television history choice, for it causes my mind to think of this song for days on end after I've heard it!

I always liked it. Norman Lear always had great theme songs attached to his shows.

It was certainly the perfect theme song for this show. Linking the title character with other strong women from history set the tone for every episode.

I'm a HUGE Donny Hathaway fan, so I'm biased. I love the "Maude" theme. His all too short body of work as a singer/songwriter/arranger/pianist/producer is sadly underrated. Check out YouTube for some of his best songs, like my own personal favorites, "For All We Know", "Someday We'll All Be Free", "Giving Up", and his duets with Roberta Flack. :D

Not much of a Maude fan, but this is one of the greatest theme songs. The Jeffersons also had a great theme song and so did Good Times (although the words are somewhat hard to make out.
