Most energizing theme song - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ewoowoo · 07-24-2008, 11:57 AM

What is the theme song that pumps you up and gets you excited to see the show or gives you some energy. I'm sure some of it has something to do with your opinion of the show. Keep in mind I'm not asking for the best theme songs (for example my personal favorite is Leon Redbone's Mr Belvedere theme).... but Energy wise.

My short list I can think of. (in no special order, other then number 1).

Magnum P.I. - As soon as I heard that guitar riff start I was pumped! The "stashe" was gonna kick some Hawaiian bootay!

Kids in the Hall - With the first note played my excitement level grew.

What are some that pump you up?

Themes from Friends, Cheers and Wings--and
though not a song or sitcom, I like on Saturday Night Live, in the intro after the opening skit, where they have the jazzy background music and they introduce the cast.

Drew Carey Show- I liked the Cleveland Rocks song with the cast dancing and lip-synching to it.
Welcome Back Kotter- classic.
WKRP closing theme- Cant' understand the lyrics (if there are any

) but it sure is catchy.
That 70's Show- The cast singing to it rocks. Also, Cheap Trick(who performs it) is one of my all-time favorites.

catlover79 · 04-03-2009, 08:46 PM

^ Yeah, the lyrics of WKRP's closing theme are intentionally gibberish, but the tune ROCKS. So does the CHiPS theme (I kid you not).
