Actually sung by the Barenaked Ladies. The full version of the theme song is pretty fun.

The official version on what sunk Stephen Still’s Monkee’s aspirations? “Bad teeth”. Oh, and he had ‘em, too…

I too, like the theme from THE BIG BANG THEORY by “They Might Be Giants.”

My present day favorite….

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait…
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

I would be interested in a list of TV theme songs that had a successful run away from the small screen on radio, such as the theme for “Greatest American Hero”, as well as their stories to becoming the theme song in the first place.

Like the theme for “Bosom Buddies” by Billy Joel… was that a radio hit before the series started or after….?

If you are ever in the mood for the surreal google for the Little Roger and the Goosebumps version of Gilligan’s Island. It’s done to the music from Stairway to Heaven.

The lyrics to the hymn “Amazing Grace” work perfectly with the music to Gilligan’s Island.

Just so you know.

This was a fun blog. It really took me back to my old TV favorites.

Isn’t it interesting how we can grow so attached to a bit of entertainment!

Boyce and Hart ended up touring and putting out a few albums with Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz after Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith left the group in the early 70’s.
