One key aspect to picking a great theme song for TV shows, make sure it will get stuck in the viewers’ head.
There are many ways to make a band famous, and there are many ways to make their songs number one. Sometimes if we’re lucky enough, we get to hear those famous songs every week as a theme song. You might think that a theme song isn’t really important to a show, but could you imagine iconic shows such as: Friends, Fresh Prince, and Scrubs with out their theme songs? Any song can be a theme song, but not many of them can shape a show. I can’t be the only one who still sings the Friends theme song, am I? If a theme song isn’t important, why do you remember them so much?
Friends- The Rembrandts: “I’ll Be There For You”
When you hear this song, you’ll feel you’re with your friends and you’ll immediately start singing.
Fresh Prince of Bel Air- Will Smith: “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”
This song reminds us that Will is not only a good actor, but a good rapper too. And we’re pretty for many, this is the first time they ever rapped.
Pretty Little Liars- The Pierces: “Secrets”
Remember, two can keep if a secret if one of them is dead.
Malcolm In The Middle- They Might Be Giants: “Boss of Me”
Throw way back to Malcolm In The Middle, and for some reason you couldn’t stop singing along to this classic.
Scrubs- Lazlo Bane: “I’m No Superman”
Doesn’t this song still come to mind when you visit the doctor?
That 70’s Show- Todd Griffin: “In The Street”
To this day, this song is still great, and brings you back the good years for a moment.
The Big Bang Theory- The BARENAKED LADIES
Part of the reason why we love this show, is because of the theme song. It’s also fun and educational.
The OC- Phantom Planet: “California”
The O.C. and this song is one in the same. “California” was the back drop for a show that was a Thursday night must for any girl.
Orange Is The New Black- Regina Spektor: “You’ve Got Time”
I guess when you’re in jail, all you’ve got is time.
Grace And Frankie- Stealers Wheel: “Stuck In The Middle With You”
Stuck in the middle of dinner with the characters from this show, it would not be bad at all.
Smallville- Remy Zero: “Save Me”
With this song, I know that nothing bad can happen to me and someone will be there to save me.
CSI: NY- The Who: “Baba O’Riley”
This band does not need a TV show to be any more famous than they already are. But I’m glad CSI chose this one!
The Affair- Fiona Apple
A really good and strong song. Only to match a strong TV show.
