This is the theme to Gary’s show,
the opening theme to Gary’s show,
Gary called me up and asked if I would write his theme song…
(damn you Gary Shandling)
Close this thread right now.
Actually, before you do that, does anybody remember the theme from One Day At A Time? That was a cool song.

My favorite was Mr. Lucky, but that’s just about my favorite song ever.
I have to laugh at myself for forgetting the titles of a couple of these “unforgettable” themes, but the music was certainly memorable for me.

That’s all I got.
It’s usually me that calls The Rockford Files, missed it this time.
