Loving that theme song
Whether or not you like a show (or movie for that matter) shouldn't depend necessarily on its theme song but it's sure nice when it's a good one. There are a few I intentionally forward through because I can't get them out of my head -- like the one from Monk, the hypochondriacs theme song. Sure, good song, but it's too catchy, stays with me when I don't want it to. I like the original better.
There are some I let play, and even rewind and play again (some are too short, imagine that). What's great is they're out there. YouTube is a goldmine of just about anything and everything. All media, just waiting to be found. And if you don't know the name of the song, just search the lyrics you remember (hello google) and you'll likely figure it out.
Whether it's TV theme songs*, or some blip of something heard on the radio, it's suddenly wanting to hear that song, and actually being near a computer when I do. (this time)
Found the one I was thinking of, and them some.
A few favorite theme songs, new and old:
From Saving Grace*, didn't realize there's a full version, nice!
They play such a short clip of it before the show, good to hear the full version.
From Psych*... this shows theme song changes with the occasional episode (ever hear the Spanish version?). Pretty clever.
Remember the show Windfall*? It didn't last long, but it had a good theme song:
I think my all time favorite is the one from Charmed*:
If you don't like Charmed, maybe this video with scenes from The Craft* might be more your style. I couldn't find one with the actual band singing the song.
That's all I can think of right now. I know there are plenty more. In this instance I'm thinking more of the theme songs with lyrics, and possibly radio airplay (though I know there are well known instrumental theme songs that are still being played...like this one).
For some reason all my YouTube links are Canadian. I'm pretty sure I'm still in the USA but I'm not sure that if I remove the "ca" from the links, they will still work so I'm leaving them in.
