Which theme song was better?
Chico and the Man or Welcome Back, Kotter? I like both, but I'll take WBK. Only because I know all the words to it.

It's one of only 2 theme songs that I'm aware of that hit #1 on the Billboard singles charts. The other being "Theme From S.W.A.T" by Rhythm Heritage. I was thinking there was at least one other but I can't pin it down. |

Both themes had something going on there.
But it has to be WBK - because it's more of a well-known show and more familair with most audiences.. Then again I also like CatM - because of the music reflected on the show's charatcer and the Latino settings. |

Sorry, According to Billboard, That song peaked at #3 the week of 11/28/1992. It was kept out of the #1 position by "I'd Die Without You" by P.M. Dawn & "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. Now I know what the 3rd one is. "Theme from Miami Vice" by Jan Hammer. It hit #1 the week of 11/09/1985 |
