Worst TV Theme Songs

Post by hepcat »

I'll start

The insipidness that was the yacht rock intro to Star Trek Enterprise



It was like being frozen in the year 1985, then being thawed out in 2200 and being told the only thing people listened to was Air Supply. At that point, you either ask for the sweet release of death, or demand that you be put back into hibernation while praying that when you wake up in 2300 the world won't be in the grips of Kajagoogoo fever.

Somehow I knew that's the song you were going to post before I even clicked on this thread.

I understand what they were going for when they did that, but yeah, it's rather jarring in context with everything other Trek series. They were ironically trying to distance themselves from Trek, by not even having it in the title, until they capitulated. At that point, what they should have done is just go with an epic orchestral score.

Now that you mention it, the BB theme does have a really annoying sing songy (is that a term?) nature to it.

Sometime we agree on things.

This is terrible in the way that nearly all early 80s theme songs are terrible.

I love that Enterprise theme song. Its doesn't fit though but is a nice song. This is more 'dont fit' than a 'worst' ...hmmm sooooo...

Primus is an acquired taste. I love them, but I can understand why others might not.

I just love that it's Joe Pesci, Dick Butkis, Bubba Smith, and *Dean Martin* all somehow sharing a terrible script.

I like it, but it's also steeped in nostalgia for me.

…sigh….now I remember it. Psychological suppression works…until someone reminds you what you’re suppressing.

Yeah, same here. I grew up on that show. It was one of the best cartoons in the day, IMHO.
