Best theme tune ever written

If it has been done then I am unaware of it, even my brain the size of a planet forgets things occasionally.

And changing the category restricts things massively, not many theme tunes have lyrics so, in essence, you are stuck with the Muppets or the Banana Splits of Fraggle Rock. Unless you consider me beat boxing the timpanis from 2001 : A Space Odyssey as karaoke?

One of my criteria for tunes that qualify as the best would be, ‘do you listen to the full theme tune even when binge watching episodes?’, this one defo qualifies :lou_smiley:

Technically.

Being boring.

White Christmas is the official best theme song ever in that it has sold more than any other single - 50 million

Whitney is also up there with the theme from the Bodyguard (obviously being a male dominated forum nobody else will ever mention that one) - 15 million

And then there is Unchained Melody - theme from Ghost

Or just have a list

Oh look lots on here we’d never notice!

Meanwhile

What about the ACTUAL James Bond Theme? (Sidestepping the argument about which of those was the best)

I have to drag the local connection in and suggest Howards Way…the opening theme…

and the up tempo closing theme…

Essentially 2:40 of Lee Major’s character saying he isn’t getting any. Great tune.

Fucking tune
