Driving to work this morning, I heard one of my favorite TV Theme Songs on the radio, and was struck by what a bizarre title it had. As a girl who has a serious infatuation with music on TV, this got me to wondering how many of our beloved TV theme songs we would recognize by mere title alone? And thus a Friday Fun game was born!
Your Friday Fun challenge this week is to match the song title (and artist) given below to the title of the TV show that uses it as their theme song. Please post your answers in the comments.
1. How Soon is Now – Love Spit Love
2. California – Phantom Planet
3. We Used to be Friends – The Dandy Warhols
4. Long Skirt, Short Jacket – Cake
5. Closer to Free – the BoDeans
6. I Don’t Want to Wait – Paula Cole
7. The Bomb – Bitter:Sweet
8. Searchin’ My Soul – Vonda Shepard
9. With A Little Help From my Friends – Joe Cocker
10. I’ll Be There For You – The Rembrandts
11. I Don’t Want to Be – Gavin Drew
12. Where Everybody Knows Your Name – Gary Portnoy & Judy Hart Angelo
13. Who Are You – The Who
14. Brand New Life – Steve Wariner
15. Woke Up This Morning – Alabama3
And as a special bonus, see if you can get this ‘trick’ theme song title!
16. Something to Believe In – Aqualung
Oh, knowing both the song title and the artist helps a lot!
2. The OC
3. Veronica Mars
4. Chuck
6. Dawson’s Creek
8. Allie McBeal
10. Friends
11. One Tree Hill (I hate this song now. Not because I’m so down on the show but because I’ve heard it for so long on the show AND I swear it’s on the radio every other time I turn it on. People. The song is over, move on!)
12. Cheers
