I had not been exposed to Internet for very long before I evolved the idea that the Internet could be a repository for the memories of transient things, like Broadway shows, which leave only an original cast recording (if they are musicals), a program, a playbill and some photos when they are gone.

I have had many pleasant E-mail 'conversations' with people of approximately my age, from the UK and the US, about old TV shows, and it made me hunt up some lyrics I had written down when I was younger and even more compulsive than I currently am.

So, I display for anyone who is interested the following lyrics to old TV theme songs, and if you have compiled any lyrics to old shows and would like to have me link them, please contact me with the URLs.

If you have Real Audio, here are some links to audio versions of a bunch of TV theme songs:

Over the course of our lives, most of us have been exposed to quite a bit of this music, so it's worth taking a closer look at it. Jul 13, 2010.

PLEASE NOTE: In some cases, these are not shows I was a great fan of; it is the theme songs which I liked.

The order of these lyrics is rather haphazard; I'm normally a button-down alphabetic/chronologic kind of person, but I just don't feel impelled to put these shows in that kind of order, so here is an alphabetic list of the lyrics you will find below:

ROARING TWENTIES 1960-1962, ABC

Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman! Who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

65 TV Themes! From the 50's and 60's is the first volume of the Television's Greatest Hits series of compilation albums by TVT Records. From the 50's and 60's was a double LP that featured 65 themes from television shows ranging from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s.^[1]

The album catalog was later acquired by The Bicycle Music Company. In September 2011, Los Angeles-based Oglio Records announced they were releasing the Television's Greatest Hits song catalog after entering into an arrangement The Bicycle Music Company. A series of 9 initial '6-packs' including some of the songs from the album has been announced for 2011.^[2]

Don Pardo 'hosted' the original LP and cassette versions from 1985. Five tracks are exclusive to the original 1985 releases..

• The first track on the first record/tape, side one, begins with a musical sample of Edvard Grieg's 'Morning Mood' from the Peer Gynt suite,^[3] which is interrupted by Don Pardo beginning the 'broadcast day.'
• Side one concludes with a faux test announcement of the Emergency Broadcast System, leading into the 'Duck and Cover' song (from the 1951 Civil Defense education film of the same name.)
• Side two concludes with easy-listening music and Pardo making announcements of the 'station' having technical difficulties and to please stand by. This was also sampled on Hexstatic's album Rewind.^[4]
• Side three (the first side on the second record/tape) concludes with a medley of news themes and announcer voices, led off by Pardo announcing a faux news bulletin interrupting the 'broadcast' over a music sample of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, specifically the 'Scherzo' movement.^[5]
• Side four (and the whole album) concludes with Don Pardo signing-off the 'broadcast day' with a recording of the United States national anthem (enhanced with explosion and firework sounds near the end), and then fades on a test pattern tone (signaling the 'station' has gone off the air.)

Track listing[edit]

NOTE: An asterisk (*) designates a track that was re-recorded for either a later season of the TV show, a single/album by the theme song artist or this album. A double asterisk (**) denotes a track exclusive to the record and cassette versions only, and, except for the Japanese release on CBS/Sony, do not show up on any CD version.
