TV Theme Tunes, anyone?

Post by jon » Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:58 am

Can't remember if we've done a thread about this before. Thought it would be a good idea for everyone to nominate their favourite TV theme tunes. Two of mine are 'Danger Man' and 'Strange Report' from the '60s.

How about The Lady is a Tramp sung by our Matt. It would be good to have a nice recording of this from the show. :D

I was wondering how long it would take Robert to list "White Horses" :D :D

This was a nice one---from "Family Ties"--an American sit-com--
song called "Without us"---sung by Johnny Mathis and Deneice Williams.
