Boys Over Flowers Theme Song

Jesus Christ; just because I’m Filipino (which doesn’t make sense because Boys Over Flowers is Korean) The idea came to me when, upon checking this blog’s statistics, I got a referral from someone searching the above keywords.

Magnun P.I. Theme Song

Chips Theme Song

“CHiPs” The theme song from Chips is this sort of disco-themed, synthesizer-led instrumental that plays on the opening highway sequence. The internet does not have any interesting information on how this song came to be, trust me. For now, let’s just thank those who uploaded it into YouTube.
