Not anime, but definitely a theme song:
A hot dog makes her lose control (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQTqKcojrVY) :D
-
I loved Hogan's Heroes theme as a kid. Made me want to line up in the cold.
-
I always liked the Theme from Taxi & The Odd Couple
-
I'm going with either The Muppets or Dr. Who (we used that as an opening tape for one band)
-
if its TV show theme songs.....then it could only be the Munsters.
-
Hogans Hero's is a old fav but I think the theme song for the Banana Splits is my favorite to this day I still walk around singing it ! Tra lala tra lalala, tra lala tra lala laaaa
-
Dr Who was theme was great and there was some wonderful background music and sound effects in the vintage series. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop did some ground-breaking stuff with tin cans and string, and the odd oscillator. Their equipment budget must have been about 10 pounds a year, but they were axed to save money.
I also love the Red Dwarf and Hitch Hikers Guide themes (though HHG was originally radio).

Two of my favorites themes! Red Dwarf isn't well known in the US, but it's one of my favorite series ever. Too bad the only time I read about Craig Charles is when he's in trouble.
-
A few years ago we saw Chris Barrie and Norman Lovett (Holly in series I) doing standup. Chris Barrie was ok, but Norman Lovett was hysterical, really incredibly funny. But I haven't seen anything of him since. Reminds me, I need to buy the box set of series 5-8, though I only really want 5 and 6.
-
7-8 had its shining moments too. Like when Lister fooled Kryten into celebrating the start of Kochanski's period. And besides, Norman Lovett returned for 7-8.
I haven't seen Norman Lovett outside of Red Dwarf but with that deadpan delivery I'll bet he's great.
-
When I read the title the first thing that popped up in my mind was the Munsters theme.
-
The Bannana splits I figured out on bass. That song will live with me to the grave!
-
Barney Miller was another favorite and so was "Suicide is Painless" from M.A.S.H.

I saw Loudon Wainwright live not long after the show started. He introduced the song, his opener, as "I'd like to do a song about death. After all, it IS Spring."
-
Nowadays the PC police would try to prevent you from using that song title. Or some suicide victim's family would sue.
-
would someone who commited suicide be considered a victim?
-
Well, I didn't really mean it that way. But in today's world, too many people are looking for someone to blame (and sue) when shite happens.

+1
When I was in the army I sang that theme while marching in cadence.

I can already see you all frothing at my choice (with Mark putting in some consoling and supportive words ;D), but I stand unrepentant: "Tammy", the TV series from the sixties. I loved (and love) that melody. Scroll to the end of this page for a listen:

And to make matters worse I also liked the music/muzak (and, jawohl, the stories too) in Streisand's and Redford's "The Way We Were" and in Christie's and Sharif's "Dr Zhivago".

-

Daughter's been getting into that one lately.
It sounds like Ramstein mixed with Demon Hunter mixed with MaryManson and a couple of others.
RAW bass slamming.
NICE!
Additional versions(amusing to me and my daughter):
WOW!

I do confess to learning Mission Impossible(original theme) and buying Lalo Schrifin's album to learn the rest of the tunes on it.
I had a P clone with nylon tapewound strings that got REAL close to the sound.

I never watched "Sanford & Son" as a kid, but my band played the theme (also known as "The Streetbeater") around 1990 when I was in college. Lately I've been watching the reruns, and the bass playing by Chuck Rainey is great! In an interview here (http://bassplaying.com/?q=node/210) he says the wrong note at the very end was an accident, but Quincy Jones wanted to keep it in.
The thing that bugs me about reruns these days though is that they play commercials for other shows during the closing credits.

I see your point, but all I miss is a thundering bass underneath that.
I liked the theme from hill street blues.
-
Someone has to use Cobwebs & Strange by The Who as a theme song. Brilliant!
My favourites are The Dukes of Hazard theme song by Waylon jennings, who's also the voice over of the series. And of course The A Team theme. The A Theme then? One day I had a welding exam at school. I recorded the The A Team theme on a little voice recorder and my plan was to play it whem I started welding. As a sort of joke. When I started I pushed play and I forgot something so I had a flame of two yards instead of two inched! While I was trying to get rid of my incidental 'flame thrower' the theme played, everybody watched and laughed their arses of. The teacher could laugh about it, forunately...
