Where have all the theme songs gone?

Recently I made the observation to Patrick that tv shows don’t have good theme songs anymore. Well, they may have good ones, but not like in the 80’s when the song was written specifically for the show. Now they either use a new popular song, think the WB, or just have music like Lost.
On the drive from NJ to TX the 80’s station on XM was playing the theme song to Greatest American Hero and Patrick decided he agreed with me.
Who doesn’t remember the words to The Dukes of Hazard, Growing Pains or Who’s the Boss? Even if you don’t want to admit it. Ah, the good ol’ days!
What about the Facts of Life? “You take the good, you take the bad, you take em both and there you have the facts of life! Woah! The Facts of Life!”
Growing Pains, ah, such a good show! I was soooo in love with Kirk Cameron. “As long as we’ve got each other, we can take anything that comes our way. Baby you and me! We gotta be…the luckiest dreamers who blah blah dreaming.” Yeah, just another song I don’t know ALL the words to. 🙂
Actually, those are the right words until you quit. The part you left out is ” who never quit dreaming” And it starts with “show me that smile again. Dont’ waste another minute on your cryin’ we’re no where near the end, the best is yet to begin….”
Yeah, I think we officially need help now!
