Which theme song was better? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

jeffersonsfan · 11-26-2005, 06:28 PM

The one used in the first 2 seasons, or the one used in seasons 3 through 6?

I liked the second one better. Nell had a great voice and it showcased her vocals wonderfully.

Anyone agree?

I liked the more 80's r&b-ish second theme to the original

Wildchats · 11-26-2005, 11:19 PM

Yeah seasons 3-6 were the best theme!

Kasey · 11-27-2005, 05:23 PM

I prefer the first one (1981-83). I was never a big fan of the 80's synth-pop sound.

Eric777 · 11-27-2005, 06:29 PM

The 2nd season had the best theme song

ClassicTV4Ever · 11-27-2005, 09:04 PM

I prefer the second version

BTW, I'd like to let everyone know that GAB is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com. However, they have it spelled as "Gimmie a Break."

My vote goes to the first one as well.

i vote for the first one too

The second one- It- like the show itself- seems more relaxed, more comfortable. I LOVE THE SECOND ONE- its got this wonderful sound to it- and Nell is superb in it- that beginning is SHHEEERRR 80'S and i luuuuuved the 80's

yep, the second theme song is the one I always associate with the series, "gimme a break, now I know what it takes...". The first theme is decent too but the second one sounds like something The Pointer Sisters would've done.

Both themes were great. Nell had such a wonderful voice. Man do I miss her.

Moonlit_Suburb · 01-20-2006, 06:00 AM

I definitely like the second one better, although it is funny in the first song when Nell says "I finally got a piece of the caaake!"

Eric777 · 01-20-2006, 11:14 AM

Theres no such lyrics in the theme song
The lyric went
"What happened to my piece of the cake"
And the lyrics from the 1st season and 2nd season are the same

greelywinger · 01-20-2006, 05:50 PM

I thought she sang "What happened to my piece of the cake?"
