Poll question: Worst TV show themesong ever?
I cast my vote because that awful, insipid ditty gave The Rembrandts far more airplay and cash than they ever deserved.

2. Wow--*EXCELLENT* choice
And you replied so quickly that I can only infer that the song was rattling around in your head.

Glad I could help with the catharsis!

3. Well, if you really must know...
When someone asks about worst theme songs EVER, that one's in my head as the winner... I tried to keep it from entering my consciousness, but I had no choice when you asked the magic question... :yoiks:

11. Hey, 20 years ago I would not have minded Charles being in charge of me.
I do agree that the song sucked. :7 (If an 80s big hair smiley existed, I would put it here.)

6. Star Trek Deep Space 9
It puts me to sleep. I honestly never watched the show just because of that boring pretentious piece of shit theme song.

Since then I have found it wasn't too bad a show, but the theme song still stinks.

13. I don't have to click on it to hear it
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

One time on a golf course I had Billy, Don't be a Hero go around in my head for the first 12 holes. Almost killed a guy that hit into us. :-)

18. It will pass
I am one of those who has music almost constantly going in my head. I have already moved on the Facts of Life theme song anyway.

17. Enterprise-Star Trek spin-off.
Somekind of shit-kicker hairband crap. I think it killed the show.

I've never heard more than three seconds of the themesong.

Horrible.

29. Three's A Crowd
I was recently re-exposed to this sphincter-cringing theme when Nick at Night ran a mini-marathon.

It is wretched!

30. "I'm A Survivor" from "Reba"
Partly because she's (Reba McEntire, that is) 100% Repuke. Partly because it is so much louder than the show. But mostly because it is just plain annoying and it never fails to get stuck in my head.

Though the "Friends" song runs a close second.

31. The theme from "Magnum P. I."
Just half a bar of that drek and my mind is filled with images of worryingly tight shorts and continent-spanning lip hair. Eurrrrgh!

34. Worst Theme Song Lyrics: original Star Trek
Roddenberry himself is said to have written them without composer Alexander Courage's knowledge, just to snag half the royalties. Gene, Gene, we hardly knew ye...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series#Theme_song

Beyond

The rim of the star-light

My love

Is wand'ring in star-flight

I know

He'll find in star-clustered reaches

Love,

Strange love a star woman teaches.

I know

His journey ends never

His star trek

Will go on forever.

But tell him

While he wanders his starry sea

Remember, remember me.


The version with lyrics apparently never aired, but do not despair: Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) recorded a disco version of it. (I can't believe I just typed that.)

:puke: :puke: :puke:
