Some favorite TV theme songs

So, so, so very good. I loved that show.

Hmmmm, I donā€™t remember that, but it looks like itā€™s about as cruddy as the junk I watched.

Softness in his eyes,
Iron in his thighs!

The main theme for The Peopleā€™s Court is actually music taken from a 1977 Porn movie called ā€œBarbara Broadcastā€ starring Annette Haven.

I suspect the trivia quoted above is not completely accurate. The music is likely a library track rather than specifically composed for Barbara Broadcast.

Sorry, a little off topic, but I think all my favorite TV show themes have been cited already.

Maybe this one. . . anyone know what the lyrics are?

And I canā€™t listen to the Barney Miller theme without hearing this too:

Baby, if youā€™ve ever wondered
wondered what ever became of me
Iā€™ve been living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati WKRP

Got tired of packing and unpacking
town to town and up and down the dial
maybe you and me were never meant to be
just maybe think of me every once in a while
Iā€™m in Cincinnati, at WKRP

Sure. . . the opening theme, but I want the lyrics to the end theme.

"Bad tooth botch and a foxy nighty, yeah yeah,
Sit a little water and a rock n roll nit uh huh . . "
(and after that Iā€™m lost.)

I recently received a couple thousand 8 track tapes as ammo for a summer road trip with my brother in an Edsel, to do the 24 Hours of LeMons ā€œHell on Wheelsā€ Rally. Included were several tapes of Henry Mancini TV show theme songs. I canā€™t wait to get them playing.

No. No effin way. Those canā€™t be the lyrics. He has no special knowledge of the recording session or singer, he just listened a bunch of times and came up with something, Iā€™m not buying it. (Thanks for trying though.)

Story I see repeated, searching on those lyrics, is that they just improvised some nearly unintelligible stuff.

Yeah, thatā€™s what Iā€™ve always thought, and it seems to be the standard opinion. Good joke too, since my parents would always say ā€œI canā€™t understand the wordsā€ to just about any rock song.

with lyrics

ā€¦and wait until you hear the reason for the lyrics to this one ^^^

Yep, thatā€™s what I imagine with both Barney Miller and The Streetbeater. I would have absolutely loved to have been a fly on the wall at either of those sessions!
