The 30 best TV theme songs of all time

Observer:

One of the staples of many hit shows is its theme tune. As soon as those opening sounds start we get into gear for our favorite show, and perhaps even hum along. And, if it’s really good, we might even tap a toe.

But there’s an even finer art to the theme song; not theme tune. Some television shows out there dare to be brave and hit the audience over the head with an actual song with singing and lyrics to kick off proceedings. So let’s have a seat, and take a listen to the finest theme songs since time began.

I’m sorry but I’d have to put the Spider-Man theme number one if only because it was the only song my brothers and I ever sang at the top of our lungs every time it played. Drove my mother nuts.
