When you find yourself in danger
When you're threatened by a stranger
When it looks like you might take a lickin'
(cluck cluck cluck cluck)
There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn
To
Caaaaalll for SUPER CHICKEN!!
(Bwaawk!!)

You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.

Tom Slick...bum bum bum...Tom Slick
With the ThunderBolt Grease Slapper he is on your tail
He won't fail because you know there's no such thing as quit to
Tom Slick ...bum..bum..bum..Tom Slickk

Ever since I found the very lovely site Retro Junk I've gotten to hear a lot of old t.v. show themes.

I think one would be the Inspector Gadjet theme.

But thanks to DVD the world can rehear/watch the greatest opening ever!

I'm talking about the Adventure of Pete and Pete!

Oh yeah! After all the years of not being able to see it I still could summon that opening in my head and now it's recharged to the max!

GO DVD!

My favs:

Magnum P.I.
Miami Vice
Ironside (yeeeeessss!)
Starky & Hutch (the one by Lalo Schifrin)
Mission Impossible (speaking of Schifrin)
The Great American Hero
Farscape (original theme by Subvision, not the one that plays in later seasons).

Not in my top 5, but Ithink they haven't been mentioned yet:

Star Trek - The Next Generation
The X-Files

[trekgeezer]

That's actually the theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Jerry Goldsmith.

In an interview the composer for the X-Files was asked if there were lyrics for the theme. He said , the only lyrics might be:

The X-Files is a show,
with music by Mark Snow.
