My Favorite Things-- Theme Songs

As each TV season passes, so, too does the TV show theme song. It's an unfortunate thing it seems to be dying off. Thinking of my favorite shows of all time, most of them had a memorable theme song (and no, not those moronic "jingle-style" theme songs that stick in your head-- "Facts of Life", Growing Pains", "Family Ties"). What will fans of the future get?

Two of my current favorites theme songs somehow worked themselves into my head the past few weeks.

Ever since I started watching Entourage, I've been in love with the theme song "Superhero". It took years, but I finally found out who sang it (oddly enough, when the series soundtrack got released, it didn't have the song in the track list, and someone commented on it-- that's how I found out who did it). Why, it was Jane's Addiction. Who woulda thunk?

Here's a clip to it (kinda grainy, but it's what I found).

Is that not the coolest TV series theme song and credits on the air right now?


Next, when I watched Frisky Dingo for the third time last month, the song at the end of the pilot really bore itself into my brain. It's not the show's theme song, per se, but I think it can count.

I have no affinity for rap music, but this tune had a great hook. So I went on a search, which didn't pan out very early because there is nowhere you can download this song. Apparently, a guy named Killer Mike created the tune for the show, and "sang it" as the character Ta'Quil. Unfortunately, it's a pretty raw song (called "All That Jizz"-- it must be a love song) that is pretty much talking about spraying one's "man milk" all over his partner, so I'm guessing that's why I can't find a damn place where I can download it.

I learned something, though. I had no idea that "skeet" was a colloquialism for ejaculation until I put aside the music and listened to the lyrics.

Here's a link to a video from someone much more talented that I, who found a way to get it using other means I don't have. --Just in case you want to have idea what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, it's pretty raw. I find it funny, but I'm sure others won't.

And if that didn't offend you, how 'bout taking the song, and mixing it with a perfectly innocent old school cartoon. Seriously, if you don't have a liberal sense of humor, don't click on this. It's way wrong.
