Jem Theme Song

1985–1988; also “Jem and the Holograms theme song” Alright, so fictionally, the theme song for Jem—that American animated series by Hasbro, Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions—was performed by Jem and the Holograms. However, American musician Britta Phillips of the Dean and Britta duo provided her singing voice for the show—another singer (ironically), Samantha Newark, dubbed [...]

ALF Theme Song

1986–1990 Now that I have a little more time, I’ll write about a really cool theme song. ALF lasted four seasons, between 1986 and 1990, and it had two distinct opening theme songs. However, in reality, the second song is just a “toned down” version of the first. The first version was used in seasons [...]

Masters of Horror Theme Song

2005-2007 This is for the Showtime original series. I got a little curious when I saw (and was not familiar with) the Emmy Award-winning theme from the year Prison Break was nominated. So anyway, here goes. The theme song for Masters of Horror was composed by Edward Shearmur, a sought-after British composer who scored for [...]

Prison Break Theme Song

2005–2009 You can only break out of so many prisons. Here we go. The main theme song for Prison Break was composed by German-born Ramin Djawadi. On this blog we know him for his work on the FlashForward theme song, but he may well be more known for scoring the film Iron Man. Mr. Djawadi [...]

Wonder Pets Theme Song

2006–present This may not be my personal blog, but I am still very happy to announce that I am now a very proud father. So, I maybe hearing more of the likes of these songs. The opening/intro/main theme song for Wonder Pets is officially entitled “The Wonder Pets!” The voices stay the same so you [...]

Jersey Shore Theme Song

2009–present This show is just…well…dumb. Yes, offense. But, that definitely will not stop us from making a buck out of it. So, let me make this quick and painless. The intro and main theme song for Jersey Shore—that show that represents everything that is wrong with this world—is entitled “Get Crazy”. It is by the [...]

Mad About You Theme Song

1992–1999 Old school once again. Alright, here we go. For the television series Mad About You, the iconic theme song is officially entitled “Final Frontier.” The song was made especially for the show; it was composed by Paul Reiser and American record producer Don Was. As we all know, Paul Reiser was half of the [...]

Criss Angel Mindfreak Theme Song

2005–present If you do not already know yet, Criss Angel, born Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos, also happens to be a professional musician. In fact, way before Criss Angel Mindfreak, the show, he was half of the industrial duo Angeldust. So, it only makes sense for him to perform his own show’s theme song. The song used [...]

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior Theme Song

2011 I wanted to get on top of this but I am a little too late. While the original Criminal Minds went through a subtle remix in its theme (which I did not like) and opening sequence (bring back A.J. Cook!), here we are today with the four-episode-old spin-off’s quite-cool theme song. YouTubers are fast [...]

Stargate SG-1 Theme Song

1997–2007 What an epic show. Yesterday I discussed the theme from Stargate Atlantis, and I mentioned something about Joel Goldsmith not being the one who composed the main title theme. Although that remains a fact, information regarding the title theme song is somewhat confusing and all over the place. But, I did my best, and [...]
