You started it!!!!

M*A*S*H • Suicide Is Painless • Johnny Mandel​

I heard somewhere (don’t know if it is true) that the guy was 15 when he wrote this. I would be very concerned if my 15 year old wrote a song called “Suicide Is Painless”, but maybe that is just me.

…and I last had a 15 year old kid, 15 years ago.

Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra

Not a theme song… but a version was in 2001… But this version is beyond cool!

Theme songs? We used to rock out to Buffy!

Probably the greatest theme of all… and the Ramones did a killer cover!

You might want to hold back a bit on the cosmic vapor B… it’s a school night.

I was badly quoting Harvey in Blazing Saddles!

No cosmic vapors for me… (don’t ask about cosmic liquid refreshments… no comment)

Did we open a can of worms?

I actually love this song much more than I ever liked the show. That surf guitar sound with the cool progression is so cool!! I literally looked this up and played it a few days ago to hear it. And like I said, I wasn’t ever particularly a fan of the show.… although they had some cool cars….

 

[BrendaBear]

Well… TV themes… for me, it is either this, the original (and only real) Hawaii 5-0, or The Rockford Files theme.

If I recall there were two versions… this was the original and the second one really amped up the surf thing… I want to say by the Ventures?
