TV show theme songs.

Brackets: 60s and before
70's
80s
90's and beyond (since most shows stopped using themes sometime in the 90s')

Think this would need to be a full 64 slot bracket.

Voting could get pretty chintense.

We already know who @AIRWOLF, @Dardanus and that kid who loves Friends will vote for.

Who wants to czar this one up?
 
Does it have to be original music?

I have a Pavlovian sense of joy hearing Woke Up This morning, the Sopranos intro song. But not an original work for the show.

I wouldn't think so, just whatever the theme was. Lots of good themes weren't originals.

I should add, the song needs to be associated with the show. Just because a great song was coopted by some obscure show no one watched doesn't make it eligible for this tourney. The songs, whether original or not, need to evoke images of the show they themed or they aren't really eligible. Woke Up This Morning is definitely associated with the Sopranos so I'd say it's eligible. Also in the fairly thin contemporary era so it should make the 16.

One thing that’s tricky about a tourney like this, is there are iconic theme songs (Simpsons, Addams Family, Cheers, Gilligan’s Island, Mission Impossible, etc.) that are great intros, but I wouldn’t listen to them outside of watching the TV show.

I’d like to see songs that you’d listen to regardless, yet still are perfect for their respective show. @GrundleStiltzkin already mentioned The Sopranos theme.

The Black Keys’ “I’ll Be Your Man” from the HBO show “Hung” (about a high school teacher who becomes a gigolo) is one of my favorites:

“A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2 from “Mad Men”

“Good ‘Ol Boys” by Waylon Jennings from “Dukes of Hazzard”

“Movin' On Up" performed by Ja'net Dubois, from “The Jeffersons”
