Best ever TV theme tune with words

I read your post like this, without the mention of Why Don't You.

I was thinking, yeah, when do you ever see real mice do the cleaning?

e2a: but then, I always think you're called Coplicker so don't pay any attention to what I say.
I think they all did their thing out of office hours.

The Fall Guy - I believe it was actually sung by Lee Majors himself.

In about 1982, I think I would have known the words off by heart.

"I'm the unknown stuntman" is about all I can manage now.

From Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Song Lyrics

Well, I’m not the kind to kiss and tell, but I’ve been seen with Farrah
I’m never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.

I’ve been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don’t end up as mine.
It’s a death defying’ life I lead,I take my chances.

I die for a livin’ in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy while I’m bandaging my knee.

I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand new car.
’Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

I never spend much time in school but I taught ladies plenty.
It’s true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.

I’ve gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it’s only hay, Hey Hey.
I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine.
’Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.
 
The Dukes of Hazzard theme tune.

Good Ol’ Boys by Waylon Jennings


Just the good ol’ boys,
Never meanin’ no harm,
Beats all you’ve ever saw, been in trouble
With the law since the day they was born.

Straightnin’ the curve,
Flatnin’ the hills.
Someday the mountain might get ‘em,
But the law never will.

Makin’ their way,
The only way they know how,
That’s just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

Just good ol’ boys,
Wouldn’t change if they could,
Fightin’ the system like
a true modern day Robin Hood.
 
Life is the name of the game
And I wanna play the game with you
Life can be terribly tame
If you don't play the game with two.

:)
 
Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He's ingnored
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider man.
 
Red Dwarf is in there already.

I'm torn between the Cheers music (sorry - it's on the jukebox at the local) and my all-time favourite:

Chicken Boo
What's the matter with you?
You don't behave
Like the other chickens do!
You wear a disguise
To look like human kind
But you're not a man
You're a chicken, Boo.

Working on the site, from Morning 'till night, that's livin' alright, that's livin' alright,
Then a pint with the boys, in a bar full of noise, that's livin' alright, that's livin' alright etc...
 
And not forgetting the immortal :-

Yoffy lifts a finger
And a mouse is there
Puts his hands together
And a seagull takes the air
Yoffy lifts a finger
And a Scampi darts about
Yoffy bends another
And a tortoise head peeps out
These hands were made for making
And making they must do

That's fucking genius - thank you.
 
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
Riding through the glen,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
With his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Robin Hood!

He called the greatest archers
To a tavern on the green,
They vowed to help the people of the king,
They handled all the trouble
On the English country scene,
And still found plenty of time to sing.

Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
Riding through the glen,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
With his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Robin Hood!
 
Dreamstone:

I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night,
I dreamed in colour, 'cause I lived in black and white,
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you,
I could not see, how anything could be...

Better than a dream, stranger than my wild imagination,
If this is a real sensation it's better than a dream.
Higher than the moon, hazy like a beautiful illusion,
Crazy and in confusion and better than a dream.


& Cheers

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.

You wanna go where people know, people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows your name.
 
Like a streak of lightnin' flashing 'cross the sky
Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow
Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly
You'll hear about him everywhere you go
The time will come when everyone will know
The name of.....Champion the wonder horse

Champion the wonder horse
 
Theme from Prisoner Cell Block H

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we'd known
'Til I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stoney ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

Vom inducing lyrics, but a big singalong usually when i play it as the last song of the night in a DJ set :D

Yeah, that's the best one!

But let's not forget....

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' up to bring you the Banana Split show
Makin' up a mess of fun, makin' up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one
All bananas playin' in the bright warm sun.
Flippin' like a pancake, popping like a cork
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper an' Snork

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Two banana, four banana, one banana, three
Swingin' like a bunch on monkeys, hangin' from a tree.
Hey there, ev'rybody, won't you come along and see
How much like Banana Splits ev'ryone can be

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Happiness for ev'ryone
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

I own that single :o
 
The best theme tune ever's lyrics go:

Weee-wahh wee-woo-woo widdle-diddle-diddle-diddle dee-doo-doo
Weee-wahh weeeee-woo-woo widdlar-widdlar-widdlar-doo-doo

Dahh dahh dahh dahh dadahh daddla-dah
De-dahh daddle-laddahh dee-dar- dee-dar etc

Not strictly lyrics. But it's such a good theme tune that we can forgive such a minor detail.

The Rockford Files btw.
 
Iiiiiiin West Philidelphia, born and raised,on the playground is where I spent most of my days...'

Still know all the words to the Fresh Prince.

This thread is :cool:
 
The theme to Mr Rossi "Viva Happiness" is one of my favourite tunes ever.

Viva, viva happiness,
Tried to catch it, no success,
Viva, viva happiness,

"Hello, I'm Mr. Rossi"

Mr. Rossi, what you want?
All the tray of ice cream cones,
A coco castle for a home,

Custard cakes, coffee breaks, holiday, we're all the same.

And then? And then? And then?
Mr. Rossi, what you want?
To drive a fancy rocket car,
Take a shower with champagne,
Tuxedo, *Rococo, break(a) the bank at the casino,

And then? And then? And then?

Viva, viva happiness,
Tried to catch it, no success,

[spoken quickly:]

Gonna-do-the-happy-dance,
happy-happy-dance,
viva-viva-happy-dance,
over-here-over-there,
over-here-over-there,
should-be-watching-aware
should-be-watching-aware

Sunshine (Sunshine)
Yellow (Sunshine)
Ocean (Ocean)
Lazy (Ocean)
Loving (Loving)
Someone (Loving)
Flowers (Flowers)
Daisy (Flowers)

This is what makes happiness,
You have more than you can guess,
viva, viva, happiness....(fade to programme)

:cool: :D :cool: :D

Also like the theme to Supergran sung by Billy Connolly just coz it had the lyric "i don't wanna cause a ruccus with B.A. baracus.:cool:



Stand back Superman, Iceman, Spiderman, Batman Robin too,
Don't wanna cause a ruckus with B A Barracus have I got a match for you,
She makes them look like a bunch of fairies, got more bottle than united dairies,
Hang about, look out for supergran.

You can stick your heroes, your Robert De Niro's, Al Pacino too,
Lex Galone's just another phoney, couldn't lace her shoes,
After her they're all big girls' blouses, got more front than a row of houses,
Hang about, look out for Supergran.
Sup-Sup Supergran,
She's a serious granny,
Sup-sup Supergran,
a serious granny, she'll do the things that you never saw your granny do ...
is there nothing that she cannot do?

On your bike Wonderwoman, lets just say you had it coming, this one is for real,
Charlies angels pack it in before it gets embarrasing, this lady's solid steel,
She comes on strong like a Bengal lancer, she makes you all look like a bunch of chancers,
Hang about, look out for Supergran.
Sup-sup Supergran,
Hang about, look out for Supergran.
Sup-sup Supergran,
Sup-sup Supergran,
Sup-sup Supergran, To end.
 
It's only a game so
Give it a real good try
Cause ill be snookerin you
snookering you
Tonight
Big Break!

Fingermouse
Fingermouse
Fingermouse
Fingermouse
I am the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
I'm a musical paper mouse
As anyone can see
I can play drums - look
I can play keys
I am the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
I can play woodwind
I can play string
I can play just about anything
I can play this
I can play that
Anything at the drop of a hat - see!
Oh, I'm the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me
Yes, I'm the mouse called Fingermouse
Fingermouse that's me!

They really dont make them like they used to...who needs cgi when youve got a paper mouse on your finger.
