When it’s least expected, you’re elected.
You’re the star today
Smile- you’re on Candid Camera!
With a hocus pocus, you’re in focus.
It’s your lucky day.
Smile- you’re on Candid Camera!
It’s fun to laugh at yourself.
It’s a tonic, tried and true.
It’s fun to laugh at yourself
Like other people do.
Really Terentii, you include Stingray, but not this one
I wish I was a spaceman
The fastest guy alive
I’d fly you 'round the universe
In Fireball XL5
Way out in space together
Conquerors of the sky
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
Every time I gazed into your starry eyes
That was the line that always got me! :eek: 
I knew the first and second verse, but didn’t realize there were two more:
They weren’t included on the CD I had of classic TV themes. 
*All but one man died (Da-da-da-da-da!)
there at Bitter Creek (Da-da-da-da-da!),
and they say he ran away.
Branded! Scorned as the one who ran!
What do you’re branded
and you know you’re a man?
Branded! Marked with a coward’s shame!
What do you do when you’re branded,
and you fight for your name?
Wherever you go
for the rest of your life
you must prooooooooooove
you’re a man!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaaaaaah, dum!*
I probably heard the “Stranded” version (about a guy in the john with no toilet paper) more often than the real Western theme.
At the risk of making you all waste a weekend in front of the computer:
http://www.televisiontunes.com
I downloaded a bunch of great themes to my phone. *Mannix *is my current ringtone, but I’ve also used My Favorite Martian, Name of the Game, and The Magician. If you’re looking for a good alarm ringtone, go British: Van Der Valk if you want to be wakened gently, or Strange Report if you need a shock to get you up.
Away! Away! Away rode the Rebel,
Johnny Yuma!
Johnny Yuma
was a Rebel,
he roamed through the West!
Yes, Johnny Yuma
was a rebel,
he wandered alone!
He got fightin’ mad,
this Rebel lad!
He was panther quick
and leather tough,
and he figured that he’d been pushed enough!
The Rebel!
Away! Away!
Away rode the Rebel,
Johnny Yuma!
Johnny Yuma!
*Who is the tall dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name!
Ridin’ the trail to who knows where?
Luck is his companion,
gamblin’ is his game!
Smooth as the handle on a gun,
Maverick is the name!
Wild as the wind in Oregon,
blowin’ up a canyon,
easier to tame!
Riverboat, ring your bell!
Fare thee well, Annabelle!
Luck is the lady that he loves the best!
Natchez to New Orleans,
livin’ on jacks and queens,
Maverick is a legend of the West!
Maverick is a legend of the West!*
Now, when the West was very young,
there lived a man named Masterson!
He wore a cane and derby hat,
his name was Bat,
Bat Masterson!
The trail that he blazed
is still there.
No one has come since
to replace his fame.
And those with too ready a trigger
forgot to “figger”
on his flashing cane!
Now, in the legend of the West,
one name stands out from all the rest:
the man who had the fastest gun!
His name was Bat,
Bat Masterson!*
*I always wondered what the hell a “cane and derby hat” was… 
I watched this show (Anthony Quayle as Adam Strange! 
) when it was a summer replacement in 1968 or '69 (IIRC) and have never been able to get the theme out of my head!
I did, too, and was terribly disappointed that Quaylenever strapped on a jetpack and teleported to Alpha Centauri to match wits with invaders on the planet Rann.
Would you like to hear me whistle “The Wild, Wild West”?
Try a Bit o’ Licorice
Try a Bit o’ Peanut Butter
Every Bit o’ Honey
Candy bar is
A bit of fun.
On my list of the top ten best themes ever!
Tobacco tastes best
When the filter’s recessed,
Smoke Parliament!
Winstons taste good
Like a (clap-clap) cigarette should!
From the land of sky-blue wa-a-ters
wa-a-ters
From the land of pines, lofty balsams,
Comes the beer refreshing,
Hamms, the beer refreshing,
Hamms!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hamms!
Not actually a theme:
"Faster than a speeding bullet! <kapweeeeng>
More powerful than a locomotive! <chugachugachugachuga…>
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! <ka-whooooshhhhh>
Look! Up in the sky!
It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!
It’s SUPERMAN!
Yes, it’s Superman! Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
Superman! Who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands!
And who, disguised as Clark Kent (mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper)
fights a never-ending battle for
Truth,
Justice,
and The American Way! <tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa>"
Theme from SWAT. Another good tune.
Derry down pip pip
Dilly dilly day
Hey nonny nonny
Rippity pippity a
*When Katnip the cat
sees Herman the mouse
Katnip the cat
packs his bags and leaves the house!
Fiddle-diddle-dee, fiddle-diddle-ay,
it’s just like a holiday!
Fiddle-diddle-dee, fiddle-diddle-ay,
Herman’s come to stay!*
This always reminds me of ***MAD Magazine’s ***“Uncle Nutsy” typical kids’ TV show:
*“This cartoon was released in 1929 … but very, very late in the year. It’s also very educational! Tell us what you learned from this cartoon, Susie?”
“I learned that cats are ugly and bad, and mice are cute and good, and I’m going to bring mice into the house and **feed **them and take care of them, and kill Mommy’s Siamese cats, and…”
“Very good, Susie! And now it’s time for a commercial break!”* 
H-A-double R-I-GAN spells Harrigan
Proud of all the Irish blood that’s in me
Divvil a man a word can say agin’ me
(am I old or what???)
Speaking of super heroes (well we’re not; but we could be):
In your satin tights, fighting for our rights
and the old red, white and blue
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl fighting all evil deeds
Each writes for a magazine hiding the life she leads
*G-I, double-L, I, G-A-N spells “Gilligan”!
He’s the hero of our mighty nation,
idolized by all the population!
G-I, double-L, I, G-A-N, you see!
He’s a the man we adore
who will keep us out of war!
Gilligan!
That’s me!*
