A great TV theme song can be as iconic as the show itself. In fact, they’re more than just a great theme song; they can become total earworms that are stuck in our heads.

It’s not uncommon for me to hum the Game of Thrones theme song every now and then, and I know everybody loves to sing and clap along with the Friends theme.

In the modern era, no television theme or opening is as memorable as Peacemaker‘s, so with the new season set to debut, it seems like the perfect time to take a trip down memory lane and list some of the iconic theme songs in television history.

Peacemaker

Let’s not waste any time and get right to it. Peacemaker‘s opening credits, featuring Wing Wam’s 2010 song “Do Ya Wanna Taste It,” is the definition of unskippable.

Yes, the over-the-top dance choreography is mesmerizing, but it’s the song that ties everything together, and I can’t wait to see what season two has in store.

Happy Days

It’s hard to believe that the Happy Days theme song wasn’t always “Happy Days.”

Originally, it was “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley & His Comets for the first two seasons.

That ’70s Show

The Fox sitcom that ran through the late ’90s and early 2000s also had a change in its theme song.

This time, it was just the band. Cheap Trick took over duties from Todd Griffin and performed the superior version of “That ’70s Song.”

The Addams Family

Chances are you know the lyrics. If not, then you definitely know the music, and you surely know when to snap along.

The iconic theme’s inspiration is even felt in the opening title sequence for the Netflix original series Wednesday.

The Brady Bunch

You know all about the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovely girls.

The only thing more iconic than The Brady Bunch‘s theme is how the entire cast is singing along.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Speaking of singing along, who hasn’t rapped along with Will Smith at least once in their life?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Smith, a talented musician who rose to fame as a rapper, was able to write such an iconic television theme.

Friends

Every millennial knows the words. Every millennial knows when to clap.

And every millennial knows that I’ll be there for you.

DuckTales

It’s only fair we give some love to the animated series of our youth, and what better choice than DuckTales?

Go ahead; you know you want to shout out “Woo-oo” with the song. When the series was rebooted in 2017, the theme stayed.

The Simpsons

Speaking of animated series, you know you have an iconic theme song when there’s no lyrics and it’s still something you hum along with.

Fun fact: the theme for The Simpsons was composed by none other than Danny Elfman!

Cheers

If you ask me, it doesn’t get any better than this when it comes to television themes.

Cheers is the show about going to the place where everyone knows your name, so it’s only fitting that it has a theme song to match.

The X-Files

Composed by Mark Snow, the iconic theme for The X-Files managed to place on weekly music charts across the world.

Equally impressive is the fact that several remixed versions did the same.

Twin Peaks

Without Angelo Badalamenti’s legendary score, Twin Peaks wouldn’t be the cult classic series it is today.

It’s enchanting, beautiful, and haunting all at the same time, with his incredible intro playing as we tour through the sights of the greater Twin Peaks area, setting the stage for one of the greatest television shows of all time.

Saved by the Bell

From the opening school bell to the iconic ’80s style, Saved by the Bell‘s theme is the perfect mood setter for a quintessential 1980s sitcom.

The Jeffersons

Speaking of setting the mood, Ja’Net DuBois’ “Movin’ On Up” does just that.

Coincidentally, DuBois ot only cowrote and sang the song, but she also starred in Good Times, a spin-off of Maude, which itself was a spin-off of All in the Family. Why is that relevant? Because The Jeffersons is also a spin-off of All in the Family.

Game of Thrones

Ramin Djawadi has had an illustrious career, with the Game of Thrones theme being his most recognizable work. He would win two Grammy Awards for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for his work on the show.

Oh, and they rightfully brought it back for House of the Dragon.
