The theme song to the original Garry Shandling show on FOX was annoying and catchy at the same time. It is the bane of my existence, because sometimes I will be doing something completely random, such as cutting the lawn, and suddenly…“This is the theme to Garry’s show, the theme to Garry’s show…” pops in my head.
BTW, awesome username!
Enterprise ditched the franchise’s long tradition of classy orchestral theme songs for a wimpy soft rock tune. The music they used for the two episodes set in the Mirror Universe was a hell of a lot better.
It has to be the song from the Hi Hi-Puffy AmiYumi Show.
no one particular song comes to mind but the type I dislike most are the sappy, happy, the world is so beautiful because of (lead character, lc’s family, lc’s perky pet, etc) written in sappy, happy melodies that infiltrate themselves into your brain and stay there til the next day when you’re in a departmental meeting and you can’t here what the speaker is saying because that *&#$%ing tune keeps running thru your head
I’m sorry, but the correct answer is “Over There.”
you’re kidding, right? you must have been born after 1985.
Little Boxes was recorded and made famous by Pete Seegar, a prominent folk singer of the 50’s and 60’s - It was all about the sprawl of suburbia and in particular the cookie cutter houses for which the developer of Levittown (all 3: NY, NJ, and PA) was so renouned (altho his name escapes me at the moment)
“Little Boxes” was meant to be irritating because it was about sameness and comformity and irritating mindsets that make you scream in your sleep.
My most hated theme: The People’s Court
i must be sleepy - i read that as
“irritating midgets that make you scream in your sleep”
i must be sleepy - i read that as
“irritating midgets that make you scream in your sleep”
i must be sleepy - i read that as
“irritating midgets that make you scream in your sleep”
We used to sing “Little Boxes” when I was a little kid, in the late sixties, driving through the tumbling sprawl that was just beginning to scar over the land outside of Dallas.
Huh…and I wound up reading it as “irritating 1920’s-style ‘death rays’ that make you scream in your sleep”.
Oh, it’s definitely an earwig, but I opened this thread thinking “Well, Garry Shandling had the best theme song ever”. Weird. All a matter of taste, innit?
The developer of Levittown was named… get ready for this… Levitt. William Levitt. 
I can swear there was another show that used it also. It’s practically a cliche at this point, though it isn’t a great song either.
The Neighbours themesong makes me want to kill people with my bare hands.
The “Silver Spoons” theme was the first song that popped into my mind. However, in finding that link, I also found the “3rd opening theme song (1985-1987).” I had somehow never heard it before.
Damn, that is one awful piece of “music.”
(Both links from here.)
I loved it, but I hated it, and I see I’m not the only one: The Garry Shandling Show.
(walks off, singing “Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song!”)
This is the part where we whistle.
::whistles::
Come on, people, there is nothing worse than the theme from the worst show ever:
“Here’s the story
Of a lovely lady…”
:eek:
The Home and Away theme makes me want to commit genocide.
