For the franchise Here’s another one of those franchises gone wild. I guess it would be hard to discuss everything released in the name of Mortal Kombat—games, films, series—so let’s just stick to what matters. It all started with Mortal Kombat: The Album, the soundtrack that accompanied the home versions of the popular arcade game [...]
This is for the whole franchise Just to recap—because technically there is only one Mission: Impossible theme song—let’s look at what the franchise has come up with so far. From Wikipedia: Mission: Impossible, the original 1966-1973 television series Mission: Impossible, the 1988-1990 television series revival Mission: Impossible, the 1996 film starring Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible [...]
1997–2010; also “Hank of the Hill theme song“ and “King Hank theme song” R.I.P. Brittany Murphy. The theme song from King of the Hill is officially entitled “Yahoos and Triangles.” It is by the Arizona-based band The Refreshments—known in the nineties for their hit single “Banditos.” It is said that the band often played the [...]
2006–present There’s some confusion regarding this theme song. First, the facts. The theme is an original by W.G. “Snuffy” Walden, whom we have encountered in the themes for The West Wing and My So-Called Life among others. Some also credit Bennett Salvay (alongside) for the theme, but it is hard to confirm this for sure [...]
1990–1991 Epic show, epic theme song. Damn, this gives me the chills. Alright, let’s start. Technically, and with respect to the show, the theme from Twin Peaks is officially called “Twin Peaks Theme”. It was composed by Italian-American composer Angelo Badalamenti and was released as part of the original soundtrack, which was made public on [...]
1985–1989 Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. Powerful. Also, as far as theme songs are concerned, it probably does not get any better than this. The theme from Moonlighting is probably common knowledge to many. However, it still pays to have it here in our little blog. The song is of course entitled “Moonlighting” (some credit [...]
2010-present Things are not looking good for this show. As we all know, No Ordinary Family has this narration-style opening sequence. It then transitions to the short intertitle that displays the logo and the names of the creators—Greg Berlanti and Jon Harmon Feldman. While all of that is happening, a sort of grand, reminds-me-of-graduation type [...]
2006–present Let’s be Brit once again. For clarity, this post correctly covers the first two series (Brit for “seasons”) of Torchwood. I know for a fact that certain changes were made in series three—where they banner-titled the show Torchwood: Children of Earth—like the removal of the opening narrative. So for now, a separate post for [...]
2002–2004 R.I.P. Anna Nicole Smith 1967–2007. No disrespect here. Alright, so I was reminded of this when I saw reruns of The Nanny—both had animated intros. The only information I have about this show’s theme song are, number one, the title: “Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna” (credited on IMDb). And number two, its composer: David Baron [...]
2010 Alright, so The Pacific is a sister show (whatever that means) to the mega-successful Band of Brothers from 2001. It was an epic show, so it had an epic theme song as well. The song is entitled “Honor”. As per the original soundtrack, it is officially credited as “Honor (Main Title Theme From The [...]
