It is said that hearing the theme song to Captain Nice can make full-grown men run off screaming into the night…
JFC dude, how did I ever watch that crap show? I need to go apologize to my parents.
Nobody remembers the Patty Duke show, huh?
*
“Cousins, identical cousins…”*
It wasn’t that bad. Certainly no worse than the one for the parallel superhero parody,Mr. Terrific.
Ding ding ding!
I opened this thread to make my disgust at this wretched tune known by all.
Worst. Theme. Song. Ever.
Oh, that’s just GREAT Cal!
Now I have that dang tune stuck in my head… what the young people call an earworm.
Argh.
You are a mean mean man, CalMeacham!
Nothing tops,
Where Indian fights are colorful sights and nobody takes a lickin…
Where Redman and Paleface both turn chicken…
It’s Okay. As long as you don’t think about the theme for Super Chicken, you’ll be all right.
Without a doubt, the theme for the kids’ show “The Backyardigans” is the worst.
It makes me want to punch someone in the neck as soon as I hear it. Instant rage.
“Spider-Man” one of the worst? “Standing Tall” deserving respect? Please tell me these were meant ironically.
On the other hand, I may be a minority of one in that I never watched an episode of “Friends” because the cloying, annoying theme song would force me to change channels. The fact that it was an inescapable radio hit made it even worse.
I would like to know who the hell decided Bullet With Butterfly Wings (“The world is a vampire”) would be a keen song for Whale Wars? One, I can’t see the connection for the life of me. Two, the song is just annoying. Every time I hear it I imagine the lyricist as some high school kid who just noticed that rage and cage rhyme.
sigh, tell me. How does it feel to have no soul?
And it would have such a wonderful intro just with some nice instrumental music over it. What were they thinking?
It’s just that one couplet that gets to me.
When I was a kid I thought it was the best theme song ever.
OK, after Batman.
Believe it or not /
I’m walking on air /
I never thought I could feel so free eeE eEE /
Flying away, on a wing and a prayer /
Whooooooooo could it beeeEEEE?
Believe it or not, OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, KILL ME!
…and I am personally glad people have lost the compulsion to sing the Hello, Larry theme song to me:
Hello Larry (Hello Larry…)
Two kids to raise alone just ain’t that easy (Hello Larry…)
The questions they are asking aren’t that breezy
The answers you are giving don’t always pay
But that’s the way it is with kids today
And it’s still horribly bad.
The astonishing thing is that they had more than half a dozen versions, and everyone one of them sucked as much as the usual one!
Besides “Little Boxes” I’m annoyed by the One Tree Hill theme song, " I Don’t Wanna Be." Gavin DeGraw can’t carry a tune at all, so it’s kind of surprising they didn’t ask him to sing “Little Boxes” too.
I know not all theme songs can rock as much as “Excess” by Tricky did (for Glory Days) but do they need to pick songs that rape our ears this much?
I guess I’m the odd man out again. I *love *the theme song from Enterprise. After TOS, it’s my favorite Trek theme song of all. I know a lot of people hate it, but I suspect that’s just because they think a ST theme song *should *be an instrumental. I prefer to think out of the box. Plus, it works so well with the video montage.
And it has been covered a few times, too.
