what’s the best TV theme song ever I’m Krista from Birmingham Alabama let’s talk about that good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by the rhettandlink community which has now been nicely integrated into rhettandlink.com/store now in a lot of ways this is kind of a dying art cartoons still have more of a handle on this but television shows these days don’t seem to appreciate the art of the good theme song so a lot of these are going back in time but I don’t necessarily think it not all of them it’s not just not appreciating the art it’s the fact that they have less and less time with all the commercial breaks and the fact that you’re competing with so many different other pieces of content out there and just like the internet if you’re gonna make some film the internet you can’t put like a minute long theme song on the front of it every time because people click away so that’s all being influenced now there’s these little short snippets so they better be good but if the theme song is really good you you you relish I know that there’s many of these that we’re gonna talk about I relish in the 60 seconds so 45 seconds so ever how long it is that it’s the same thing I can count on and I can experience it every time and it gives me back in the mode to enjoy that show so what we’re gonna we’re gonna go through this list here of nine and then we’re gonna end with what you people in the comments said is your overwhelmingly most favorite TV show theme song ever can you guess what it is but to stick around just wait don’t wait hey patience okay thank you I get ahead of ourselves let’s roll with a list we probably put it in the thumbnail so that probably gave you yeah right cheers Cheers an older show but it has a theme song that I don’t I don’t care how young you are you probably know it your name [Music] it’s just so sweet and a little sad at the same time and it just makes you think oh I’m here and my friends are here and what it speaks to the every humans need for belonging it’s almost like therapy before the show it’s not you know this is this is one of your innermost needs human being I’m helping fulfill that through this television show is one of the songs that you would listen to apart from the song – let’s move on I would say one of the second most popular within our comments TV theme song was none other than the amazing Fresh Prince of bel-air I love this theme song what to do you know I was pretty young when this thing came out but I just you know it was such a fulfillment of the parents just don’t understand hit and then being followed up with a whole television show with the story you know it’s just got all the elements such as such a great payoff but I was so young I didn’t really pay attention to the words you know there’s the line in West Philadelphia born and raised I always thought it was in West villeneuve you born and raised I didn’t know what he was saying and I didn’t care what what is villanova I had nothing to do with your age they had to do with your intelligent quotient West Villanova no mr. Rogers it’s a beautiful day beautiful day for a neighbor would you be mine now this is a classic theme song but I would like to point out if a middle-aged man came up to my house open the mic it opened the door and he was like well she would be my neighbor I would call the cops yeah you know I’m saying I in this day and age the man can’t get away with that but he’s wearing a cardigan like this there was a time of that it makes the difference at an age of innocence in which mr. Rogers made all kinds of sense and everybody appreciated it you know I guess we’re past that now Hawaii five-o I would love if I would love to have the ability that when I walk into a room the Hawaii five-o theme song plays it’s kind of like an interesting links must be here that links these covers of links that can be arranged you can wear you can have a belt that had speakers on it and just press it you don’t wish you didn’t fit that yeah it’s a bigger belt let’s put a let’s put a pin in that one that’s a good idea a lot of you mentioned TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [Music] now Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song follows a rule or actually breaks a rule that a lot of the other theme songs that you guys mentioned don’t and that is it puts the name of the show in the theme song and not only does it put it in the show it says it over and over again what’s the name show Teenage Mutant Ninja Teenage Mutant a name is young Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles what are they heroes in a half shell turtle power why did you go to foresight it has such a great theme song that certain themed episodes have alternately themed theme songs they had the Bollywood version and they had a boys two men do a version of their theme song I think psych wins best modern-day TV theme song because there’s just not much competition out there now but it doesn’t compare to growing pains [Music] you might recognize a few people from that theme song notably Alan Thicke did you note that is Robin Thicke’s dad little-known fact Alan Thicke was a TV show theme song composer but he did not compose or sing the growing pains theme song which is an urban legend by the way urban legend a lot of you in the comments voted for the monsters [Music] after hearing that theme song I almost expect to see Munsters surfing it kind of has this surfing kind of a sanity was an era it was or an era so I’m always let down when the show comes on when they’re not surfing I guess is what I’m saying we should also come up with that surfing monsters monsters well you could then that would be ripping they wear speaker belts full house somebody tell me please you might have spotted Uncle Jesse John Stamos one of the Beach Boys famous beach boy remember now just like with the Fresh Prince I was young when I watch this inside and pay attention to lyrics you know whatever happened to the dipped ability I always thought it was dipped ability I don’t know what dipped ability is did you take like English class what did it say do you know what it said predictability whatever happened to debate I still believe we had a class called vocabulary together we took it together I was paying attention it becomes its own thing you know a good theme song creates its own words so that’s why my vote is full house but your votes were different yeah the overwhelming winner and I gotta say I did not anticipate this cuz I guess I just haven’t really thought about it I should have thought about it but the overwhelming winner was the pokemons theme song this is one of the most covered TV theme songs on YouTube all kinds of covers acapella covers dubstep covers beatbox covers I wanna be [Music] Sammis mighty to death some transit me through my compass there’s no better way to enjoy the pokemon theme song than to just play it and take it in languages you know okay what you think [Music] [Music] [Music] travel far why [Music] the world [Music] got to catch him oh okay oh hell it’s fun link is a 80s vibe but it was Anais Chablis now as we were singing that to each other that was weird it kind
