Salute Your Shorts-

We run, we jump, we swim and play. We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever are our dear friendships.
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts
And when we think about you it makes me wanna fart!
--"It's 'I hope we never part'
Now get it right or pay the price!"

Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories
By the lake of Anawanna set in the old pine trees

Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts
And when we think about you (This thing came apart)

Think Anawanna. Speak Anawanna. Live Anawanna -- Ugh!

"It's a little wild and a little strange...
when you make your home out on the range.
So, start your horse and come along.
'Cause you can't get a ride if you can't hold on.
Singin' yippee kai aie ay. (Yippee kai aie what?)
Like the cowboys say. (Sing it again now.)
Yippee kai aie ay.
'Till the break of day.
(You'd better watch out for those man-eating jackrabbits... And that killer cacti!)
Hey Dude!"


Best bar none.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Three's Company easily.



Love That show!! and that song!

Dallas also had a catchy tune there when it began....i liked that one.


ahh the memories :spin

I know this is TV shows, but commercials lately, I love that Coors Light Commercial that spans the Super Bowl era with that fantastic Song by the O'Jays - Love Train. Wow, that brings back some fond memories there, and its cool how they did the eras, from the 60's to now...the good ol' Days :smokin

[hussker]

Oh to be 6 years old and living in Southern California once more!

Banana Splits had a catchy tune too.

And then there was Wonderama, which I think was a local (SoCal) show. Typical kid's show back in the early 70's (a la Bozo the clown where there was a small kid audience) that featured one of the most popular jazz-pop riffs of all time (do-do-do-do-do do-do do-do...... do-do-do-do do do-do .... do-do-do-do ... do)

I should probably Google it.

[midgetonadonkey]

Fag.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

Greatest American Hero. :lol I remember that song from when I was like 4.

Before I even opened the thread I thought about GAH. And thanks to you, it only took 8 posts before it showed up. :smokin

A-Team, Knight Rider and Dukes bring make a bunch of good memories from the ol' childhood and a consensus seems to be forming for them.

Some others I like, not already mentioned:

Gunsmoke...the Tex Ritter version(John's dad) with lyrics. My dad brainwashed me with this song at a young age.
Rockford Files
Barnaby Jones(this one is really cool IMO)
Wild Wild West.

I think the theme song from Bosom Buddies was, "My life" by Billy Joel, so that one probably deserves a mention too.



Oh and um coughscoobydoocough

Magnum PI is my favorite

I also remember being a (very) little kid, watching Dallas just to hear the intro music, and then leaving because I was bored by the actual show.

[PM5K]

Not the best but Law & Order is worth mentioning.

Not a classic but I like the music from E-Ring...
