What are your favorite TV theme songs?
I have three, for different and specific reasons:
1 – “Hawaii Five-0” – It has no lyrics, yet this instrumental seethes with suggestion of the tropics, perky and outdoorsy energy and genuine aloha.
2—“Cheers” – “Where everybody knows your name” is the mantra, immediately welcoming, inviting, and, yes, cheerful.
3 – “Davy Crockett” – Okay, a vintage one; not the best melody but a true “ballad” that is rich in storytelling, summarizing the legendary figure, and becoming – in its time – a No. 1 fad hit everyone could sing, complete with accessory coonskin cap.
So where do you stand, regarding TV theme tunes?
Moonlighting, Hawaii 5-0, Miami Vice and The Love Boat.
I like theme from “Gilligan’s Island.”
Favorite themes I like are Hawaii Five-0, Hawaiian Eye and Loveboat
Showing my “age”….Davy Crockett
Well, why not? He was the king of the wild frontier.
