The 10 Best Theme Songs Of All Time:
Throughout the history of this great country there have been many a memorable theme songs; some were simple and catchy, others were just plain awful(but still catchy). Here are the top ten theme songs ever to be heard by man:
.1
Dun duh dun, dun dun dun, du…Ok I’ll stop.
Indians,crusaders,and Nazis? Whats a list without Indiana Jones? Well It’s no list at all. When it comes to theme songs Indys got em’ all beat. Every time I hear it I think a hip, grey haired man with one ear pierced, and a scar on his chin from his first date; but none the less the movies are great, and hopefully the newest installment will carry on the Legacy. I’m anticipating the crack of that whip on May 22nd.

No matter what generation your from(they don’t have computers in nursing homes) you will undoubtedly remember “James Bond” that lovable British man that sips on martinis while getting steamy massages from some of the worlds most beautiful women, just before he kills multitudes of trained assassins(mostly with his pistol). Lets be honest, I don’t care how much you liked the movies, if you’ve seen one, then you’ve seen em all. Same story with different places,women,and villains; not that it’s a bad thing. The recent 007 follow up, was by all means a success, with fast cars, more women,sweet action and an “oww my balls” scene. We will be looking forward to the many follow ups.

“Luke, I am your father.”
I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself. “Star Wars” Three of the best sci fi movies ever made, and three of the worst movies ever made(episodes 1,2,3) I can remember painfully watching paragraph, after paragraph fade into the distance while I waited for the actual movie to start; there were a few times I didn’t think it would, and if it hadn’t I probably would have stayed until the end anyways. When I hear that theme song now, I desperately try to clear my mind of all the negative things I want to do to George Lucas for ruining an awesome trilogy. Still it deserves a high place among any movie list…
.4
This gets a spot on the list hands down! Possibly the best television theme song ever(sorry bonanza). I can still remember the episode about the guy who sells his soul to the devil for a t.v diner or something. Great show, no matter how dated it is. If it wasn’t for shows like this we wouldn’t have people like Stephen King…Wait a minute.. Scratch that, this show takes no responsibility for Stephen King(he’s an alien).
.5
Well at least the church of Scientology did something right when they let Tom Cruise off his leash to make “Mission: Impossible”. They just messed up when they let him out to make two more despicable sequels. If history teaches us anything it’s: With a great theme song, often comes great consequence.
.6
Even though they made like twenty of these, they are still inspiring. Who has seen these movies and not started lifting weights? Every time that song comes on I want to jump on a treadmill, punch cows(dead cows), and scream “ADRIAN!!”. The Rocky movies are timeless(even though Sylvester Stalone looks like he’s about to drool on himself at any given moment), and so is the theme song.
Who remebers that creepy theme? Just thinking about it brings back a flood of memories; from aliens to werewolves, “The X Files” had it all. Especially crappy CGI. “The X Files” created a entire generation of paranormal nerds, if that doesn’t mean something….Well it means something. Now we have to watch crappy ghost hunter shows like “Paranormal State“. If I want to watch a bunch of misfits talk about ghosts, I’ll just go to waffle house at two in the morning. Don’t forget the second installment is coming out in July.
.8
What’s better than a clueless detective trying to catch criminals that outsmart him? How about random fights with a Chinese guy, that end in complete destruction of nice houses. “The Pink Panther” movies are timeless; well the old one’s that is. Steve Martin doesn’t have anything on Peter Sellers. His remake should be considered a blasphemy to good comedy’s. If you haven’t seen these movies than you had better get to a blockbuster, or netflix pronto.
“Cowabunga dude!”
I Don’t care what anyone says, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” deserves a place on the list. .Even if you didn’t watch the amazing cartoons, you still played the arcade game for the NES. Just a buncha teenage turtles kicking back eating pizza, playing video games, and kickin’ ass! The theme song was pretty typical for a “kids show” but it was still catchy. Although the new movie wasn’t great, it wasn’t a total abomination either.

“I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold.. rules.”Last, but not least is “The A Team!”. Old chain smoker with a machine gun - 2,000$(a show) A big black guy covered in gold - 2,500$(a show) Huge body count, and not one drop of blood - Priceless. My Friends mom used to make us all watch “The A Team” whenever we went to his house, it was our history lesson I guess, because “The A Team” wasn’t around when I was growing up. Needless to say the theme for this show is “Priceless”. Don’t believe me? Well here it is(without the video):
