Here’s another Seth MacFarlane-Walter Murphy collaboration. No surprises here, as The Family Guy and American Dad! are quite similar, and are both The Simpsons competition. The American Dad! theme is composed by Walter Murphy, and performed by Stan Smith (Seth MacFarlane (plus a choir of girls for the last line)). American Dad! theme song lyrics [...]
The theme song from Family Guy is officially entitled “Theme from Family Guy.” It is included in Family Guy: Live in Vegas—the official soundtrack album for the animated series. In the album, the credited performers are the main characters: The Griffins—Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie, and even the dog, Brian. In real life, this means [...]
The American Idol theme song, the one that goes “tanan-nanan-nanan-nanan” every time the the American Idol logo is shown, is much more a mystery than an actual song. I have tried searching for information about this, but nothing is to be found, which makes this post more of an information plea than a resource. So [...]
Quite confusing, but here goes. The song used for Army Wives, which is also used during promotion is “Far From Here” by Alissa Moreno—a not-that-widely-known American singer-songwriter. “Far From Here” came from her 2008 debut album In Your Wake, which was released on Pi Records—her own record label.

Kaley Cuoco is hot This theme song made a lot of sense after research. The Barenaked Ladies, now why did that not cross my mind? Wikipedia states that on October 9, 2007, a full-length 1 minute and 45 seconds version of the “The Big Bang Theory Theme” was released. So, here it is. The Big [...]
Criminal Minds has got one of those unnamed, specially-made-for theme songs. Really, the only piece of information we can find about its theme song is that 87 episodes (2005-2009) of the show’s music is credited to Marc Fantini and Steffan Fantini. In this page is the photo of the two and some other guy. I [...]
A double shot at the Ikki Twins “Seriously, who watches these shows?” …is what I would say if I were trying to pose as an uber intellectual, but, bottom line is, they’re entertaining. The aptly chosen theme song, is aptly entitled “Ooh Uh Huh.” It is by the girl band Millionaires, who gained popularity from [...]
Oscar fever alert Boy, this film has got to have a lot of songs in it—case in point, Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. However, the song known as the “Theme from Crazy Heart” raised the film to new levels of appreciation. “The Weary Kind” (full title “The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)”) won [...]
I have blogged about this, but, the theme song from House M.D. is such an important entity in the world of theme songs. It fits and suits the show very, very well, and is an integral part of its character; not to mention, the song rocks. The theme song is “Teardrop” by Massive Attack, a [...]
