Correct! And how perfect that groovy, beafroed EDE guessed it!
And here are the complete lyrics to Greatest American Hero: Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me. It's like a light of a new day-, It came from out of the blue. Breaking me out of the spell I was in, Making all of my wishes come true-. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me. Posted by Elusion Girl on :

Forgot all about this thread. Thanks for the bump Quis.
And now that I see more lyrics I'm going to have to hurt Elusion Girl. That's the theme from 'Full House'. I thought I had banished that godless drivel from my brain years ago. Posted by Deathstroke Lad on :

I believe it was. At least on network TV.

Posted by matlock on :
F-Troop?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
It is indeed the Theme song from F-troop. I guess it wasn't too hard.
The end of the Civil War was near When quite accidentally, A hero who sneezed abruptly seized Retreat and reversed it to victory.
His medal of honor pleased and thrilled his proud little family group. While pinning it on some blood was spilled And so it was planned he'd command F Troop.
Where Indian fights are colorful sights and nobody takes a lickin' Where pale face and redskin Both turn chicken.
When killing and fighting get them down, They know their morale can't droop. As long as they all relax in town Before they resume with a bang and a boom F Troop. Posted by Deathstroke Lad on :
Since I answered the previous question correctly I'd like to post one of my own.

No takers?
Okay, here's a bit from the beginning (previous post was the final lines):
Beyond the rim of the starlight, my love is wandring in star flight. Posted by Deathstroke Lad on :
Oh, and maybe to make this a bit more fair. You never heard these lyrics sung during the time the show was on the air even though they did exist at the time.

I know there were words never used. heard em once, seemed similar.
Posted by Deathstroke Lad on :
Star Trek it is. Many believe that these were the words that Uhura sang in the song "Beyond Antares" to Charlie in 'Charlie X' but they are wrong.
Although, Nichelle Nichols did record a disco version of the theme, using different lyrics, for her album 'Out of this World'.

Well, when I read that out loud the rhythm seems to fit quite well with the theme from M*A*S*H, so that's my guess (IIRC, the title of the song is "Suicide Is Painless").
Posted by Omni Craig on :
That's right BRM! The song was only played with lyrics during the orginal movie, I believe. Thought that would make it a bit harder to identify, but you proved me wrong!
And the song title is right too, so yer up!
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Well, M*A*S*H thankfully doesn't have a cable-exclusive syndication deal, so I can actually see an episode now and again on my local broadcast stations . That helps to keep the theme music familiar.
I've got something obscure:
They laughed, they loved. They fought, they drank. They jumped a lot of fences.
I loved this show when I was in junior-high school, but it only lasted 13 episodes .
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
You know, I always thought "When Things Were Rotten" was much better than "Robin Hood, Men In Tights".
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
They laughed, they loved. They fought, they drank. They jumped a lot of fences. They robbed the rich, Gave to the poor, Except what they kept for expenses. So when other legends are forgotten We'll remember back When Things Were Rotten! Yay for Robin Hood!

Its funny. Caroline kept saying the show was called Seattle and I kept telling her it was Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Then when we saw the end credits it was a "d'oh!" moment for both of us.
So up on your feet. Up on your feet Somewhere there’s music playing. Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :

I can see a part of me in you. A little something special that comes shining through. I hear it in your laughter, And I feel it when you cry, I will be right there for you, Until the day I die.

Once upon a summertime just a dream from yesterday A boy & his magic golden flute heard a boat from off the bay "Come and play with me, Jimmy. Come and play with me. And I will take you on a trip far across the sea."
But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch who had in mind the flute to snitch. From her broom broom in the sky she watched her plans materialize.
She waved her wand. The beautiful boat was gone The skies grew dark. The sea grew rough And the boat sailed on and on and on and on and on
But Pufnstuf was watching too. And knew exactly what to do He saw the witch’s boat attack. And as the boy was fighting back
He called his rescue racer crew. As often they’d rehearsed And off to save the boy they flew. But who would get there first?
But now the boy had washed ashore. Puf arrived to save the day Which made the witch so mad and sore. She shook her first and screamed away.

You (or someone) did use this already. Feel free to pick another if you want.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Thanks Drake. I thought we had but wasn't sure and my search didn't turn anything up.
Hey, yo! What's up? Where's my theme music?

the Chappelle Show?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
"In Living Color?"
Posted by Brainiac68 on :
Cedric the Entertainer's show?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Nope to all three. It did feature a stand up comedian and one of the children in the show first attained fame as a child actor in a series staring another stand up comedian.
I found a man who has a PhD in personality, That man you found may be a catastrophe, It's more of a reality.

OK, next lyric:
"They'll have to make the best of things; It's an uphill climb!"
Posted by lancesrealm on :
lol...this is from the end of "Gilligan's Island."
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Yep, the "Gilligan's Island" theme had separate lyrics for the closing credits:
"Now, this is a tale of our castaways, They're here for a long, long time! They'll have to make the best of things, It's an uphill climb! The First Mate and his Skipper, too, Will do their very best To make the others comfortable In their tropic island nest. No phone, no lights, no motor car, Not a single luxury: Like Robinson Crusoe It's primitive as can be! So join us here each week, my friend, You're sure to get a smile From seven stranded castaways Here on Gilligan's Isle!"
Over to lance
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Y'know, I remember having a tough time memorizing that one, since TV stations played promos for whatever was on next over the theme. I actually like the close better than the open. Anyhoo, here we go...
"...and I guess we'll be together for a million more..."
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
"What would we do baby, without us". Family Ties. Now that song will be stuck in my head.

Okay, here is one that most of you probably haven't heard the lyrics for since they were never aired during the show's run.
Never flinch, boys, never be afraid, Heroes are not born, boys, heroes are made. Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Hogan's Heroes?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Guess I should have picked a bit that didn't use a key word. Yep, it was Hogan's Heroes:
Heroes, heroes, husky men of war, Sons of all the heroes, of the war before. We’re all heroes up to our ear o’s You ask questions - we make suggestions That’s what we’re heroes for.
All good heroes love a good, big fight Open up the bomb bays and brighten up the night. We applaud the people who laud us, You pull the roses, we punch the noses, That’s what we’re heroes for.
What’s a hero do? Well, we’re not gonna tell ya Cause we wish we knew. That’s why we heroes are so few. We’ve got a slogan from Colonel Hogan And Colonel Hogan’s a hero too.
Never flinch, boys, never be afraid, Heroes are not born, boys, heroes are made. Ask not why, boys, never say die, boys Answer the call, remember we’ll all be heroes forever more.
Back to you Quis.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK this one may be easy
Well it's you girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Is this from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show?"
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I knew it would be easy
Posted by lancesrealm on :
OK, here we go...but first, I want to plug a CD I have. Several years ago, while working at a radio station, we got a free copy of the "Mad About You" CD, and it is one of the best CDs I own. It has songs from several different artists and is absolutely fantastic. Anyway, off we go...

Wow....never heard of this one...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
It is where the Lion King got its story. Kimba site Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Kimba and Speed Racer were the only two Japanese animated shows I recall growing up. I was too old when all the others got popular. I'll have to post the next one after work. Shouldn't really be here right now. Supposed to be paying attention in a meeting.

And the ball is back in your court Quis.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I do remember the show. I also have the "Saturday Morning" Cd which has various artists sing cartoon theme songs. The Ramones did Spiderman.

Wonder Woman?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
No.
(Hint: late 1980s)
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Looks like it's time for another hint:
The quoted show marked the return to network TV of a long-established character.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Could we have more lyrics?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
"... Coming to vanquish the foe With a mighty blow! So don't be afraid any more, 'Cause things won't be like they've been before!"
Technically I think its Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures. Wasn't it different than the original theme?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Lightning Lad has it.
Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures featured a theme song which was recognizably based on the original "Mighty Mouse March" (including MM's classic musical catchphrase), but with new lyrics and a slightly faster tempo.
Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse! Coming to vanquish the foe With a mighty blow! So, don't be afraid any more, 'Cause things won't be like they've been before! "Here I come to save the day!" Thank goodness Mighty Mouse is on his way! So let the trumpet players play, For Mighty Mouse is here today!
Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse! Just like a bolt from the blue, With a heart that's true! Fighting evil, fighting crime, And always there in the nick of time! Here he comes to save the day, And he will prove that crime will never pay! So let the trumpet players play, For Mighty Mouse is here today! Posted by Lightning Lad on :
This one should be pretty simple.

"Happy Days"?
Posted by Calybos on :
There ya go! "Happy Days" is correct.

Heh, that was just an educated guess; the phrasing seemed to fit what I remember of the music.

With all the gay guys here, we would recognize the angst ridden "How Soon is Now" and its use as theme song for Charmed.

I really cant think of a good theme song...unless it was sung by a chick who was "truly, truly outrageeous"....
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well try your best. What I do is think of a show, then Google it with "theme song" to get the lyrics
Posted by legionadventureman on :
try and figure out the tv theme song from this lyric:
"ears for hats"
If you dont get it, i give up!!!!!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That would be Josie & The Pussycats.
And the way the game works is to give a snippet of the theme song, then add more if no one gets it.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Thanks Quislet - guess i need more practice in how the game works.

you probably could stump us using the theme to an Australian show.

The world is a treasure-trove of faces, Fabulous, faraway places. The hopes and the fears, The joys and the tears Of people like you and like me. The kingdoms of magic science, The glorious story of art, The world of romance, Of music and dance, This world where we each play a part.
The miracle of imagination, The marvels of earth, sea and sky, These wonders untold Are ours to behold In the funny world, The sunny world, The wonderful world of color.

I honestly didn't think that it was this obscure. Having posted the entire song already yesterday. I'll start with clues.
This theme was used for only a short time on this long-running series.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
"Wonderful World of Disney"??
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Correct, this theme song was used in the 60s when the WWOD moved to NBC from the black and white ABC, spurring a immediate spike in RCA's sales of colour sets.

Yay me! I've been scouring all of the trivia threads trying to find anything I might know the answer to, so if that one was an easy question, I'll take it! How about this:
Once in every lifetime Comes a love like this Oh I need you and you need me Posted by legionadventureman on :
IL, Give me a hint - is this sitcom, animated or drama?
Posted by Insouciant Lad on :
It's a sitcom. And it was British...
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Not Birds of a Feather?
Posted by Insouciant Lad on :
No, so how about another hint then. This sitcom frequently featured several cameo guest appearances including Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
The Vicar of Dibley?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
The Poncey, Poncey Git of West Haverfordshire?
Posted by Insouciant Lad on :
No and no. Perhaps this show was a little more obscure than I thought. Here in the states the show ran on MTV in the mid 80's for about 2 years even though there were only 12 episodes. It was the story of four college students living together. More hints?
Posted by legionadventureman on :
The Comic Strip Presents
Posted by Insouciant Lad on :
Nope. The tv theme song was originally performed by Cliff Richard, and one of the room mates on the show idolized Cliff Richard.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Ahhhh...the Young Ones!
Posted by Insouciant Lad on :
Very good LAM, you are correct. The cast and guest stars were brilliant. And more than one of the main actors had recurring roles on Ab Fab as well. It's your go now

Your clue was pretty mind-bending, Insouciant Lad, great job of putting it all together

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :

I think this will be easy

Posted by lancesrealm on :
Pretty easy...this is from "All in the Family."

Gilligan's Island
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Yup...take it. (I actually thought I might fool someone by taking the line from the ending theme.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
And becaause i am sure that I am right:
"Lincoln X-ray Ida 4-8-3." "___________a 415 - fight, group with chains and knives."
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK and here is the first part of the opening theme
"__________, ___________, a 4-15: Man with a gun." "____________, no warrant."
Hint it is from the 70s and the two lead stars were very cute in a clean-cut sort of way.

My turn?
Think obscure (unjustly so) '50s sitcoms here:
Giddy and gay all day She keeps my heart laughing Never know where her brain has flown To each his own, Can't deny that's why...
Here's a hint: Jim Backus was on this show before he left on that three hour tour.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Hot Off The Wire?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Good guess. That also starred Backus (thank you IMdB), but that's not the answer.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Second guess: "I Married Joan"?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Yay!!!!!

You know, Ex, every once in a while, I still rock out to the Vegetable Soup theme (or my remembrance of it, anyway) in the shower or wherever! Remember the drum beat or whatever that followed those lyrics?
I'll think of one soon...
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Okay, this one could be hard...or not:
Something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes No one ever warned me love just takes you by surprise Posted by Lard Lad on :
What? No guesses?!?! Someone's gotta guess something before I give more lyrics! Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Bewitched? I know the theme song is usually just music, but I know the Bonanza theme song which is remembered as being just music had lyrics.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Nope, Quis. Not Bewitched.
But since somebody guessed, I'll repost the above two lines along with the next two. It finishes the verse with the chorus still to come. But the main lyrical theme to the chorus makes it first appearance. If you're gonna recognize it at all, chances are a bell will start to ring here. If no one guesses correctly, I'll post the rest of the song tomorrow. No Googling, please! Again, this one's pretty hard, IMO:
Something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes No one ever warned me love just takes you by surprise I don't know what's come over me, you've got me hypnotized when you look at me. Posted by Lard Lad on :
NO guesses, so here's the entire song:
Something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes No one ever warned me love just takes you by surprise I don't know what's come over me, you've got me hypnotized when you look at me.
You look at me, soft as any touch could be And suddenly, there's magic when you look at me I feel like I'm in heaven every moment when You look at me
You look at me, and suddenly I'm captured in your eyes You look at me
If you can recognize it by the song alone, the last two stanzas comprise the most memorable part. If no correct guesses, I'll start giving clues soon...
Posted by Xben on :
Punky Brewster? Just a wild guess.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Nope. Clues to come tonight if no correct guesses.
(Punky Brewster? Seriously? Sorry, just seems a little romantic a theme for such a show. )

I thought maybe it could be the love of a crusty parent-figure rediscovering joy in the love of a little child. Was that what Punky Brewster was about?

Never watched Punky, but it made me laugh since "You Look at Me" is supposed to be romantic!

Funny thing is, "JLC" was guessed (but not the answer) way earlier in this thread, so I was afraid it would be easier than I expected!

I know it was presented instumentally, but could those be the lyrics to the theme song to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (a show I know is near and dear to your heart)? Seems it was sung in the original movie/pilot....

I am nothing if not predictable. It is indeed the lyrics for the Buck Rogers Television show.

Some hints:
'80s sitcom.
The theme song above was actually the second one used, appearing starting in the third season. The first theme song is probably more well-known (and peppier).
There's some (imperfect) rhyming with the show's title in that first line.

Okay, this is from the full version of the lyrics presented in some episodes. If no one gets it from this, I'll post the better-known part:
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity. I'm not inclined to resign to maturity. If it's all right, then you're all wrong. But why bounce around to the same damn song?

Here's the whole theme:
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity. I'm not inclined to resign to maturity. If it's all right, then you're all wrong. But why bounce around to the same damn song? You'd rather run when you can't crawl.

That's funny! Never seen Psych, but Rocky's lyrics make it clear that there's only a one- or two-word title there, and likely a verb at that. I was thinking "USA Network" and scrolled thru the digital guide...and guess what's on at this exact moment on USA?

Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Okay, this will be a hard one, partly because the opening was always instrumental and the sung version was only used occasionally over the closing credits for part of the show's run--and it's a fairly obscure show, but where the title fits in should help:
Seems as though a harmony is hard to find, Always on my mind And frustrated days pass without sight: (Show Title), Half dark, half light Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I think this one will need a few clues. First, here is the entire song:
Seem as though a harmony Is hard to find Always on my mind. And frustrated days Pass without sight. (Show Title), Half dark, half light. As we watch our hearts Trying to hold a tenderness That we once had Halfway glad, and halfway sad. (Show Title), Half dark, half light. And do you think we might wake up some day? And be aware of all the games people play. Living circles of unending strife, As we look for life. And nothing's wrong, and nothing's right. (Show Title), Half dark, half light. Watching all the lonely hearts Passing out of sight. (Show Title). Posted by Lard Lad on :
Uh, Desperate Housewives? Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Not even close.
This was a very long-running program. It went off the air in 1984.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Hmmm....knowing your viewing habits as I do, this just might be...The Edge of Night?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
It is indeed a theme song use by the long-running soap opera The Edge of Night in the '70s and '80s.
Here is a montage of clips from the show with the original version of the sung version of this theme.
This clip shows a remix of the theme used with closing credits. The preceding scene also shows Lori Loughlin's first appearance on the show, which was her first major role.
And here is a montage of the various opening themes, none of which used the lyrics. The last several versions are instrumental versions of the same piece, though the original theme, used in the first two clips, is probably better remembered.
Take it, Lardy!

Spacemen with a mission, You must make a very big decision. With your solar bomb you could destroy us, Or save the world, or save the world. Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Starblazers?
Posted by Shining Son on :
Way earlier than Starblazers. In fact, about the same time as the theme song you posted, Quis.
Two more lines: Space men must be wise men Strange in human eyes, you'll be disguised then Posted by Shining Son on :
Final clue: The next two lines indicate they were disguised as a rabbit, a horse, and a duck. I say this instead of posting the lines because the first of those two lines was always unintelligible to me, but the gist of them was that the rabbit and horse laughed when the third got stuck as a duck. Apparently in Japan ducks get no respect.
The last stanza: Space men with a mission They must make a very big decision Earth boy Kenny Carter knows their secret Away they go To meet the foe (title of show)... (title of show)... (title of show)... Posted by Shining Son on :
Oh well, the title of that show was Amazing Three.
I'll try one more, again mid-1960's, but this time American and not animated. (Title of show), it's about space, It's about two men in the strangest place. Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Now that one is It's About Time.
Posted by Shining Son on :
Yep!

Let's try this one:
The soft island breeze Brings you strange melodies And they tell of exotic mysteries Under the tropical spell of: (Series title) Posted by Shining Son on :
Had to google that one. I've heard of that show, but don't think I ever saw it.
Since nobody's guessing, and since the following doesn't really count as lyrics, hope you don't mind if I throw it in as a clue just for fun.
Here's the "song" from the most popular show with the same state in the title as yours.
BAH babadah badabadah badah, BAH babadah badabadah badah, Bah BAH, Bapabada baaaaaahhhhh.

Well, I'm pretty sure Shining Son's is "Hawaii 5-0".
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
That would be my guess and that's a good hint. It's earlier than the original Five-O.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
The show I'm thinking of was one of a series of private eye shows set in exotic locales in the early '60s. Robert Conrad and Connie Stevens were in the cast.

Hawaiian Eye?
Posted by Shining Son on :
According to the internet, you're right Quis. Do you have one for us to guess? (He says as if he's any good at this...)
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I'll PM him and let him know it's his turn.
Yes, Hawaiian Eye, which featured a young, shirtless Robert Conrad, is the correct answer.

Nope. Was that Billy Bob Thornton's first significant role? ![[Saturn Girl]](graemlins/SaturnGirl.gif)
