Favorite TV Theme Songs?
KharBevNor:
Red Dwarf theme, Dr. Who theme (not just a good theme, fucking awesomely influential electronic music), Hitch-hikers guide TV theme, and of course, the original Blackadder themetune.
"The sound of hoofbeats cross the glade,
Good folk, lock up your son and daughter.
Beware the deadly flashing blade,
Unless you want to end up shorter.
Blackadder! Blackadder!
He rides a pitch-black steed!
Blackadder! Blackadder!
He's very bad indeed!
Black, his gloves of finest mole.
Black, his codpiece made of metal.
His horse is blacker than a hole,
His pot is blacker than his kettle.
Blackadder! Blackadder!
With many a cunning plan!
Blackadder! Blackadder!
You horrid little man!"
If we open this up to radio, then the hippiegasmic music to the Hobbit (The BBC Radiophonic workshop fucking slays) and of course the fucking Dead Ringers theme, which I can't remember if the TV series uses. I also remember Earthsearch having rather fine music.
I think all this shit I've mentioned is BBC in fact. Damn, what an ownage broadcaster.

--- Quote from: Chesire Cat ---I really like M*A*S*H's theme Suicide is Painless by Nick Cave I believe. Now Im no Nick Cave fanboy, its honestly the only song I know is his. O at least the only MP3 I have with his name on it.
--- End quote ---
I don't think that's a Nick Cave track. He may have covered the song at some point, but the song was originally used in the Altman M*A*S*H film that the TV show is based on in 1970, at which time Cave would have been in middle school.
The Wikipedia says that the song is a composition by Johnny Mandell with lyrics by Robert Altman's son Mike Altman.
Chesire Cat:
Well at least I knew not to trust that it was Nick Cave since I downloaded on Lime Wire and people dont know how to title MP3s
McTaggart:
Isn't it called "Suicide will kill you"? And no, it's not Nick Cave.
Inlander:
No, it's definitely "Suicide is Painless": although the version used in the T.V. series is an instrumental, the original version from the film has lyrics, including the title.
