Some shows are crafted with attention to detail, and the title tracks get even more engagement over the shows. Remember one? Trying to think about one, you'd have an auditory running in the back of your head. Due to their artistic flavors, these become iconic & often stuck in our heads long after we've watched the shows. Here are ten TV Show theme songs that can't get out of our heads but also live rent-free there.
1. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-96)
The show depicts the life of a young boy who lives with his parents but gets punished for moving in with his Uncle & Aunt for his mistakes. The title track, “Yo Home to Bel-Air,” is composed by Will Smith and sung by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. It combines a catchy melody, an upbeat rhythm, and a memorable tune. Lyrics involve, “I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo, holmes, smell you later. Looked at my kingdom; I was finally there. To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air”.Â
2. Friends (1994-2004)
There might be someone unaware of the existence of this show. The sitcom's theme song is “I'll Be There for You” by The Rembrandts. The song lyricizes as ‘I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour), I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) .' It still lives rent-free in our heads. Why? Because of the nostalgic effect that creates a sense of belonging, physical & spiritual nourishment & being each other's support system.
3. The Office (2005-13)
The show is centered around some office colleagues exploring their corporate lives. Aside from flavorful comedy, the show explores workplace ethics and challenges, leadership, conflict resolution, teamwork, and effective communication. Jay Ferguson designed and composed the central theme of the show. It can't get out of audiences' heads that they humorously deal with it despite the challenging and boring office life.
4. Breaking Bad (2008-13)
“Breaking Bad” has quickly become the apple of every cinephile's eye in no time. Its title music used in the background is one of the critical reasons behind driving viewership and engagement. The show's theme song is named ‘Baby Blue' and was composed by Badfinger. The lyrics involve, “Did you really think that I'd forget, And regret, The special love I have for you; My baby blue .” Its themes compel the audience to understand that a man can go to any extent to provide for his family.
5. Sherlock (2010-17)
It is a modern adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective story, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is an exceptional deductive agent. Dr. Watson is a former army doctor living in a shared apartment who later solves crime mysteries. The main title song is “Sherlock BBC Theme,” sung by L'Orchestra Numerique. The music blends suspenseful and intriguing elements that raise the fans' heartbeats when they unravel mysteries.
6. Game of Thrones (2011-19)
The “Game of Thrones” show became famous for its action and violence, with seven kingdoms battling to succeed for a single throne. In a race with time to who will get onto the throne first, all kingdoms are willing to go to any extent. The show's main title song is composed by the Film Symphony Orchestra (FSO), which not only intensifies the action scene but leaves the audience with goosebumps. The FSO uses a cello and riff combination in the song.
7. Peaky Blinder (2013-22)
This British crime/thriller depicts Tommy Shelby trying to expand his influence & protect his family. The show's title song is “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and Bad Seeds. The main highlight of the lyrics includes ‘He's a ghost, He's a guru, They're whispering his name, Through this disappearing land, But hidden in his coat, Is a red right hand .' It beautifully complements Shelby's influences in the criminal world, power misuse, and being betrayed by his social circle.
8. Schitt's Creek (2015-2020)
When there's a problem, there is a new opportunity to learn. The show's theme music is “Schitt's Creek Theme” by Maribeth Solomon. It showcases the importance of learning from challenges and growing from them. The show's music has brilliantly helped highlight the unpredictability of fate and future destiny, as the show is based on a wealthy family who goes bankrupt, living like commoners and eventually settling in Schitt's Creek, their only asset.Â
9. Doctor Who (2005-22)
An extraterrestrial doctor decides to embark on a journey to different planets and civilizations using space and time. When he reaches Earth, he helps people in need and befriends humans. Ron Grainer composed the theme song. Most people remember the show just because of its electrifying music, which was ahead of its time. It still charges up the audience to this day.
10. Stranger Things (2016-25)
As soon as the title track runs in the background, it paves the way for viewers waiting for a suspenseful scene. Kate Bush composed the show's central title song, “Running Up That Hill”.
