The Top 10 TV Show Theme Songs

Obviously, T.V. shows are a huge part of our entertainment culture. While the content of these shows is clearly important, the theme songs are arguably just as memorable. Many people know a show's theme song even if they don't regularly watch the program. So, in this article, I will give my top 10 T.V. show theme songs. WARNING: this will be biased as many of these will be some of my favorite shows, however, I believe that they have theme songs that are extremely memorable. So here we go:

1. Friends


This pick is extremely biased. However, Friends is a fantastic show and whenever I hear this intro it makes me happy, so this gets the number 1 spot.

2. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air


If I had to take a guess, I would say approximately 40 percent of Americans know every word to this theme song... There's no way this is even close to true, however, this theme song is extremely popular to people of all ages.

3. The Office


No lyrics, no problem for this iconic theme song. The Office is arguably the most popular show for millennials and the theme song matches the quality of the content. I dare you to listen to this and not tap your foot or nod your head to the beat.

4. Cheers


While I can't say that I have watched Cheers that much, I have to give credit where credit is due. This theme song is very popular and has been since the show came out in the 80s. It creates a very chill and retrospective vibe and that is sure to lead to popularity.

5. Seinfeld

I would like to thank my parents for introducing me to Seinfeld growing up. It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest shows ever made. The theme is short and sweet and at one point I considered making it my ringtone. This theme is easily recognizable by almost anyone that enjoys good television.

6. One Tree Hill


"I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw is one of my favorite songs. It gets me hyped every time I listen to it and it's just a classic teenage angst song that reminds you of middle/high school. Combine that with a great show like One Tree Hill and you've got a formula for success.

7. Batman


This needs no explanation. Everyone knows who Batman is and everyone knows the theme song. A classic beat for a classic show.

8. Happy Days


Happy Days is another show that I can't say that I've watched that often. However, it is a show that is pretty recognizable to everyone of all ages and the theme song is just plain happy.

9. Scooby Doo


This is along the same lines as Batman. Everyone knows who Scooby Doo is and everyone knows the famous jingle.

10. The Addams Family


This is another show that doesn't get that much exposure these days but is still widely known. The popular snapping of the intro is catchy and entertaining. It also makes an emergence every year during Halloween.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
