'Where everybody knows your name'
Tell the truth: You know the complete lyrics to the "Cheers" theme song, don't you?
Of course you do. It's a classic. But is it the BEST TV THEME SONG of the 80s?
That's what we need to know, because this week's Stuck in the 80s podcast is going to tackle that very issue.
So start humming to yourself and let us know which TV songs are stuck in your head for life.
Here are three of my favorites:
THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO: "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air." (Listen)
WKRP IN CINCINNATI: "Baby, if you've ever wondered ... wondered whatever became of me." (Listen)
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Not a song and the series barely made it into the 80s, but I still get chills whenever I hear the original theme orchestration. Makes me want to get into my PJs, grab a black cherry soda and bologna sandwich and do my best Galactica era cursing. "Ahhh, Frack!" (Listen)
Name your favorite 80s TV theme songs! Feel free to explain why and we'll read your comments on the podcast.
