Huh. You’d think with so many chicken superheroes flapping around, you’d think it would be part of the general zeitgeist. 
He’s Everywhere, He’s Everywhere!!!

Amazing it took this long to get to the Greatest American superhero song of all time! I loved that series when it first aired, and I do think a reboot would work.

That show aired when I was a kid, and I still know the song…
Don’t know about a reboot? Maybe.

I remember it being a radio hit, also. that was a thing the networks seemed to be trying then; the Bosom Buddies theme was all over the radio, too. or, was that an actual Billy Joel song?
[checks]
so the one on the radio was Billy Joel, but
“My Life” was used as the theme song for the ABC television series Bosom Buddies (1980–82), albeit in a re-recorded version with a different vocalist.
so nevermind. but TGAH theme was a radio hit, I was just wrong about pushing themes for airplay. and then Square Pegs was a Waitresses song (of I Know What Boys Like fame) but I don’t think I ever heard it on the radio.

That might also explain why I remember it, if it was on TV, but also playing on the radio, too.
I don’t remember watching Square Pegs, oddly enough. Probably due to my lack of control over the remote…

Same here, I think. I remember being vaguely aware of it, but only saw a teensy bit here or there.
Never too late to start, here’s the Devo episode:

you’d dig it the most. it’s not the most awesome show ever, but it’s real teenagers playing teens, none of this 90210 late-twenties “teens”, and with that funky, gritty early 80s aesthetic, like My Bodyguard and Over the Edge. but in a sitcom. and it’s whatshername, Carrie from Sex And the City as a kid. it’s not got a punk edge, but it’s like a new wave type of edge. the writing isn’t perfect, but hey, the Waitresses!
I was in the 3rd grade I think. you would’ve been really young, right? I seem to recall I’ve got a few years on you…
