The Top Ten TV Theme Songs, 1980 through 2011

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 30, 2011

Kids growing up today have absolutely no idea what a true TV theme song is.

Now, they turn on any of the CSI shows and get a song from The Who. They turn on Law & Order and get a “bum-bummmmm”. They turn on Survivor and, depending on the intricacies of the episode plotline may either get the long-form, short-form, or some variation in-between of the show’s intro.

Web Watch was having lunch the other day with a group of people that included a woman who had recently moved to the United States after having grown up in a number of foreign countries.

Keytar
Buy a KEYTAR costume

If you’re one of the millions of people watching AMERICA’S GOT TALENT (and let’s face it, you don’t get to be the number one TV program by not having millions of people watching), then you’ll know that AGT is a little lame compared to it’s older sibling BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT.

BGT has given us Susan Boyle, among other talented artists. Overall, BGT is just more… fun… than what we get here in the States.

So here’s a little video fun from a former BGT contestant BRETT DOMINO. Sometimes he performs as a duo, sometimes as a trio. The important thing is that he owns a keytar and isn’t afraid to use it.

Let’s take a look:

How To Music

The secret to having a hit record is all about “Treating the radio guys nice.”

Hey Mr DJ I Thought You Said We Had a Deal by They Might Be Giants
Buy this TMBG album for the song
“HEY MR DJ, I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE HAD A DEAL”

Rock band THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS wrote a song all about what it allegedly took to get a song on the radio, aptly entitled Hey Mr DJ, I Thought You Said We Had a Deal. In it, the lyrics read, in part:

I struck a bargain with my radio DJ
I said I’d like this song to be number one
He said I’d really really like to help you my son
And then I knew that I would have him to thank
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank
…
He said the record wouldn’t have to be hot
And no one ever seemed to care if it’s not
It would depend on something else that I’ve got
…
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
I thought you said, You scratch my back and I’ll scratch your record
And I thought you said we had a deal

And while it may appear that TMBG is talking about PAYOLA — paying money to a DJ to get a song on the airwaves — what they could be talking about is just THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MUSIC.

Saturday (A Parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”) – Single

It’s Friday, Friday – Gotta get down it’s Friday!

Here are some FRIDAY mashups you may not have heard yet. And while you’re listening to this songs, why not pop over to BENNI CINKLE’s website “THAT GIRL IN PINK” and say “hi”. Be nice to her – she’s written a book on cyber-bullying that all parents should know about.

Who’s Benni Cinkle? She’s the girl dressed in pink in Rebecca Black’s FRIDAY video. Yeah, the one who’s dancing. Gotta give her credit for making something out of what was probably just a “hey, this sounds like fun thing to do”. Good for her.

Crappy Friday

Flashing your boobs at a concert can get you in trouble

FLASH! Bars, Boobs, and Busted: 5 Years on the Road with Girls Gone Wild

Canadian music fan Andrea Irwin has an incident on her permanent record , just for attending a Kid Rock concert.

It’s not unusual for people to be arrested at a Kid Rock show – it’s mostly out-of-control drunks and the occasional fight in the pit. Web Watch has seen it first-hand — Rock puts on a great, entertaining and engaging show. He’s a showman. His fans really get into it.

But to kick Andrea out of the building for merely enjoying herself and getting caught up in the moment? That’s not right.

So what did Andrea do that was so horribly, horribly wrong that got her in trouble at a Kid Rock show?

You know how you and your buddies all sit around on lazy Sunday afternoons just drinking a few beers and watching the game when one of you comes out with some random-ass deep thought about some TV show or movie or something, and it makes complete total sense to everyone else in the room where everyone says, “yeah, why is that, Dude?” and you all nod your heads in agreement but when it comes the next day nobody remembers what the hell you guys were talking about in the first place?

Then OVERTHINKING IT is a website for you.
