FEATURED SONG: The Drop feat. Ape Cafe - "Lock-Load-Love" (theme song to the series, from IT WASN’T ME !)
This week I dive into TV music. I run down some iconic & favorite TV theme songs from each decade since the very beginning, dividing the list between full-on songs with lyrics & choice instrumentals. My main list is made of songs written specifically for each show, and then I throw in some "honorable mentions" - pre-existing songs used as themes.
I also talk about TV music in general, how it very slowly caught up with contemporary music, and how pop songs gradually infiltrated the soundtracks of almost every show.
Are you into TV theme songs? Are there ones that to this day you can still sing or hum? Do you think there was a heyday of TV theme songs? How does my favorites list compare to yours? How much popular music have you discovered through watching TV? Discuss dammit!
