Theme Tunes

Post by Rachel »

What do you reckon are the most irresistible theme tunes ever? I say Terrahawks and the Adventures of Black Beauty (another series that is long overdue for reruns). Starfleet comes after those two.

Streethawk, Airwolf and Knightrider theme tunes were all amazing. I'd have to throw in The great Equalizer, Ulysses 31 and Sport Billy theme tunes for good measure too. As well as: Transformers, Dangermouse, Count Duckula, Worzel Gummidge, Super Gran, Dogtanian......Shane.

Many of the ones all ready mentioned - AirWolf, especially ( Stringfellow Hawke was my hero...! ), but I don't watch a lot of mainstream TV these days... um... Anime specific: Just Communication ( Gundam Wing ), Inner Universe (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex ), just about all the Kimagure Orange Road openings ( 80s J-pop rules! ), Revolutionary Girl Utena opening, Aura Battler Dunbine opening...

I don't know if it qualifies as a theme tune but nothing beats the great escape!

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the Doctor Who theme yet...Some of my other favourites would be "Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis" (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Battlestar Galactica, Luna, Red Dwarf, Futurama, the Lost Islands, Fraggle Rock...

I can`t believe no one`s mentioned He-Man! That being said, I agree with just about every one that`s been put forward thus far, but there are others. Last of the Summer Wine, Eastenders, The League of Gentlemen being just a few I`ve enjoyed over the years.
