I loved the show

Me too! I have the first season on DVD. (Too bad they had problems licensing the music so they couldn't do them all. ) The song was perfect, the intro was perfect, it was all far too perfect.

It’s about more nuanced than that.

I just happen to be starting a rewatch of this show because it’s brilliant.

Oh yeah, that is a brilliant show! I knew that we could count on you to find something cool.
Great choice! And one that I never would have thought of myself. I have to admit that I wasn't enthused at all about this show before I started watching it, and I only gave it a chance because I like Rachel Bloom... but I was very pleasantly surprised. Brilliant show, indeed... and so well done!

(would have posted this on Day 1 but I forgot!) +2 points for 2 women. eta: +1 point granted from the thread-god! 🤗

So I'm going to stretch the spirit of rule a bit.

Theme songs are not necessarily the same as a Leitmotif, the song played at the intro to a TV show. Theme songs can be a song used during the show/film, take for example Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter, or Imperial March from Star Wars. Anyone would argue that they are the embodiment of their respective films.

I won't go into detail, but growing up I had serious issues coming to terms with who I was. Something that helped me was the Rrrriot Grrrl scene, women in punk, and after that came the post-punk era.

Enter: Tegan And Sara. Queer icons, both gay. Their openness gave me confidence, their music inspired me, and they were obviously my first celebrity crushes.

In 2022 their memoirs were turned into a TV show: High School. It's an excellent show (and an excellent book) made special because it's about two gay women growing up, but it doesn't focus on their sexuality. It's a trait of theirs, but it is not the onus of their being. In fact, I don't believe it's even mentioned. It's normalized. This is so very very rare when showcasing gay women in media.

In the show we get to watch T&S as they discover music, and take their first wobbly steps into composing.
So I'd like to present one of their first songs, the theme of the show, and their lives distilled:

Tegan And Sara - Hey, I'm Just Like You.
Sometimes, you get so tired of pretending like you're so strong
Everyone you love has gone and decided that you're so wrong

Thank you for your always enlightening posts! The personal touches make your already excellent recommendations even better!
I luv Tegan and Sara. In fact, I've got the album version of 'Hey, I'm Just Like You' sitting in front of me right now, on top of a pile of CDs that I've been listening to the past few days... so it was wonderful to read your song selection. I've always enjoyed Tegan and Sara's music, the way they conduct themselves, and the super cool way that their career has unfolded... but reading about the impact they had on you and your life was very moving! Thank you. And in spite of my devoted fandom for their music, I've never actually seen this show... so I'll have to check that out, too. Thank you for the great recommendation!

Bonus: Even though Canadians (at least in my relatively low-population part of the country) sometimes get annoyed at stereotypical suggestions or jokes that we all know one another, my ex-wife went to high school with Tegan and Sara (lol).
Sometimes this vast country of ours seems very small...

Same, I was really concerned it was gonna be some toxic stereotypes. But it’s criminally underrated but comedically and for its brilliant arc! One of the best shows in TV history.

Day 2 - an excellent TV show theme song regardless of whether or not you liked the show:

"We Used to be Friends", the Dandy Wahols (Theme from Veronica Mars) (+1)

Once again, Puddlestomp, represent! Another Portland band I had the joy of seeing a lot, including the stupendously talented Zia McCabe, who I may have had a small crush on. (She also plays country in the band Brush Prairie (a Vancouver reference), and as DJ Rescue).

Yesterday I did a BuffyVerse song, and Veronica Mars was a spiritual successor to Buffy. Except where Buffy used vampires and demons as metaphors for the horrible things in life growing up, Veronica Mars used horrible things in life growing up. "Want to know who took my virginity? So do I," set the tone for the show. It had good and not so good seasons, but Season 1 is up there with anything on TV.

And this song is First Season all over the place, as Veronica loses everything she thought she had, including all her friends, as she tries to solve her best friend's murder. And not get kicked out of high school.


For me, because I am crappy at keeping track, and really love bonus points: +3

This song is why I suggested a TV theme prompt last month. But, I’m a point whore so…thanks for taking the no point bullet. So good. Best show.

Attempting to go in a completely different direction from last night's song choice...
I've listened to this theme song so many times and I still can't decide whether it's a surrealistic deconstructionist work of absolute genius, or just abject foolishness (most likely about dead centre between those polarities)... but all I can say with certainty is that this song will be stuck in my head for days. "How do you like the theme to Garry's show?"

It's Garry Shandling's Show

This is an impeccable choice. I liked the show but love the song.
 
Day 2

Given the Australian Rugby league is on in Vegas this minute, here is the theme song for the 1991 rugby league..tv ads and games started with this song

Wow! The world really is tiny. I'd ask for gossip but it feels like an invasion of privacy 🫣 If something interesting happened that they didn't write about in their book I'd guess it's not meant for us regular mortals to hear.

Please enjoy the show! And read the book if you like it! :giggle:
 
Day 3: A song you hate to love

Edit; Shoot. @Whiskeyjack scooped me while I was typing. Ok, I'll be back...

Edit; Ok, I'm back.

See, part of the problem is that "guilty pleasure" just never really computed for me. If I like something, I will wallow unabashedly in it no matter who else might not like that I like it.

So, after some careful thought and much searching and rearranging of the mental musical archives, I recalled a band my son turned me on to a while back that is truly, magnificently atrocious. Unfortunately, they are a "cover band" so I'm not sure they should count. But, hey. Life's way too short not to laugh diabolically anytime you can.
