Soundtracks and Scores : Iconic TV themes

Re: Iconic TV themes

I always enjoyed the show Welcome Back Kotter, plus the song as well.

Re: Iconic TV themes

The iconic TWILIGHT ZONE theme is one everyone knows, even if they've never seen a single episode of the show (which, if you haven't, is one of the greatest things ever created for television and you should really correct that). I think it only came in with the 2nd season though–the original theme was different. This is the one that stuck though:

At first you think MI is epic.

Until you realize they are just repeating it over and over again with a flute solo thrown in.
Not at all impressive with the same notes and **** repeating!

Re: Iconic TV themes

Alexander Courage created the theme for STAR TREK. He became one of many that Trek creator Gene Roddenberry screwed over; Roddenberry wrote some ****ty lyrics for Courage's theme, never intending that they ever be recorded or performed but just so that he would be officially listed as the lyricist and would get half the royalties for the music.

Re: Iconic TV themes

Thanks for the reply J!

Yeah…the same. I saw it in my teens after growing up with the sho. I personally dug the flick but that scene was a bit odd at that age to me.

Re: Iconic TV themes

I was in my teens as well, and I thought it–and the rest of the movie–was magnificent. A masterpiece.

Re: Iconic TV themes

Yes! And that closing theme has no lyrics. It's just a lot of mumbo-jumbo, done as a joke. Everyone has been arguing over the "lyrics" for decades, which was the intent (though the longevity of it couldn't have been predicted).
