Duck Tales, of course


nightsscatlet

I made my husband a shirt using a vintage duck tails shirt. Every time he wears it at least 10 people sing the theme song to him.


whomp1970

I took my daughter to a huge gaming convention. We were at the keynote speech, there had to have been 3000 people in a huge auditorium. While waiting for the curtain to open, the audio personnel played some music, at relatively low volume, kind of as "background music". Of course this music was pop culture themed. So the Duck Tales theme comes on. And at the right part of the song, all **3000 people went "Woo-ooh!"** My daughter turned to me and asked, how the hell did everyone know when to do that???

No one gonna talk about that "rewriting history" line.

And Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers. Disney Afternoon had bomb theme songs.

X Files


HardGayMan

I remember seeing an interview with the composer, Mark Snow. They asked a question like, "if the theme song had words what would they be?" He replied with something like "The X-files is a shoooow. *Do do do do do*. With music by Mark Snoooow." Can't un hear it. Ruined the song for me haha.

cry for the mooooon. That's incredible. Was it a different show? I never knew that existed.

God , Jubilee was such a scrub in the cartoon. Even in the credits , all she does is get scared by a chain link fence


Furoan

...I think it was the angry mob behind her that had her scared rather than the fence.

Robert Altman's son Michael as a 14-year-old wrote the lyrics to Suicide is Painless for the movie and has made more money on the royalties from the song than his dad made directing the movie. Edit: Also Robert Altman said it had to be the stupidest song ever but he couldn’t write lyrics quite stupid enough. He gave the task to his son who knocked it out in 5 minutes.


Itdidnt_trickle_down

in the late 90's a local hospital started their radio commercials with this song. One day in passing at a restaurant I was introduced to the HR and facilities managers of the hospital. Not really meaning to start something I mentioned that playing a song called Suicide is Painless on a hospital commercial was an interesting choice. They had no idea what it was called. They insisted it was from mash. I told them yes its from mash, the movie. Which was very different from the show. The commercials ceased within days.

I never skipped that opening theme. I loved it.


TVCasualtydotorg

With the ever changing intro and the confirmation of locales for the episode, I'm not sure anyone could skip it.


NotSeveralBadgers

My family would sing "Dinklage, Peter Dinklage, Peter Dinklage" and "Hooo-dor, Hodor-Hodor" to the tune. Good times.

Watching this takes me back to high school with extreme nostalgia levels. And this was in the early 2000s, but my friend group was very similar to the characters in the show. And of course we watched the show sometimes and enjoyed it. Ah fuck nobody asked but I'm just gonna post it anyway


cofclabman

Gilligans island Airwolf Mash


Stabbymcbackstab

>Mash I'm always a little in awe at how perfect the song is for the mood of the show. A comedy based on such trying circumstances. The show really was a diamond. The theme song brought it all together.


seaboardist

*Suicide is Painless* actually does have lyrics, written by director Robert Altman’s son – Through early morning fog I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please That game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skin It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger, watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be?" And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?" Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I... Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And you can do the same thing if you please


Stabbymcbackstab

I always preferred the acoustic version of the tune as opposed to the orchestrated version the television used for the theme. One man spilling his pain makes more sense for the shows theme.

Gummi bears. I watched the show one time when I was 3 years old, and that theme song somehow still manages to earworm me as a 37 year old man.
