Six Pack: TV Theme Show Songs

Some of the songs that we learn the words to and can't help singing along with come from a completely unrelated-to-music source: TV Shows!  And doggoneit if they don't just stick in our minds for decades!  :)

Herewith is a "Six Pack" of TV Theme Show songs (yes they are all from the 1980's and 90's but that was the "heyday" for this type of music):

I'll Be There For You
... by The Rembrandts (Friends)

Only people who have never seen an episode of the TV show have not heard this song.  It was overplayed in the mid-90's, but even then the lyrics and melody were just good music.

Fresh Prince (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)

 ... by Will Smith and Jeffrey Townes

I am certain that with just minimal effort and time, ANY collection of 3 or 4 people who grew up in the 80's and 90's could quote every word of this song (even the long version).  And they could probably describe each scene in the opening credits too!

Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now
(Perfect Strangers)

"Standing tall on the wings of my dreams."  "My life, my dream.  Nothing's gonna stop me now."  Coupled with the harmonica that was popular around this time and you've got a winner!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name
(Cheers) ... by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo

Who doesn't want to be "Where everybody knows your name.  And they're always glad you came" ?  If home is where the heart is and where unconditional love abounds, then Cheers' bar was "home" for millions of viewers.

Everywhere You Look (Full House)

 ... by Jesse Frederick

"When you're lost out there and you're all alone.  A light is waiting to carry you home, everywhere you look."  Come on ... you know you were singing along!  :)

And my #1 favorite TV Theme Show Song
... of ALL TIME ...

As Long As We Got Each Other - A capella
(Growing Pains) ... by Steve Dorff and John Bettis

"Don't waste another minute on your crying.  We're nowhere near the end, the best is ready to begin.  As long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands."  "As long as we keep on giving we can take anything that comes our way."  "Sharing the laughter and love."  Now that's an inspirational theme song for a family show!
