I've always been a fan of TV Theme songs, by chance I was able to get these CD's and listen to TV themes when I wish. Browsing through Amazon for the links, I saw that additional volumes were added. I'd say "Welcome Back" and "Suicide is Painless" are tops on my list. But I also like the grandeur of "Dallas" and "Dynasty". We actually end up just listening to the whole CD and guess where the theme song comes from. ;)

There's only one theme song that I just can't get enough of..... pahero kami ni CrUzSACK ;D ;D


Quote
Scrubs - "Superman" ---- "I can't do this all on my own. No I know, I'm no superman... I'm no superman"


I've even downloaded the song!!! ;)
Title: Re:Favorite TV Theme Songs
Post by: CrUzSACK on Feb 02, 2003 at 12:34 PM
Ooh, download ! That I didn't do yet! Hehehe. Thanks jay-z! ;D Downloading theme.....

And, again on themes, I just found out about this the other day --- the Frasier Theme Song was actually sang by Kelsey Gramer! I thought it was an old standard song, original pala. And here's something more from alt.tv.frasier:

Subject: 5.04 What does "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" mean?[/b]
From: David Lee -  Frasier creator/producer?

David Lee writes:

"Its been fun watching the different theories regarding the meaning of  "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" pop up over the last few years.  I don't   think "Hamlet" has been as closely scrutinized or more divergently   interpreted.

Here is what I (and the songwriters and other two creators of the show)   thought it meant when we decided on it.

    Hey baby I hear the blues a'callin' -  play on words:  He's got the blues and referencing that he takes phone calls

    Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs -  mixed up people who call in

    And maybe I seem a bit confused, Well, maybe, but I got you pegged -  the core of Frasier's character:  He is a nutcase himself much of the  time, but can analyze the problems of others

    But I don't know what to do with those tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs -   except these damn callers

    They're callin' again - they're calling again"
