I resented when they added a vocalist to the Roseanne theme song.

Donkey, Twelvy's got you beat by a mile there.

I loved the instrumentals, too. I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, thirtysomething, etc.

Rath, especially considering that the vocalist was Travis Tritt.

Hill Street Blues - remember when Bill Murray's lounge singer character performed that?

"Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Bluuu-uuu-uuu-uu-uues, Hill Street Blues..."

Although Bonanza actually has words.

By the way: What the hell does the tossed salad and scrambled eggs thing from Frasier mean?

[Rathnait62]

God, I hate that one, Calvin.

Fortunately I hate Frasier anyway, so am not subjected to it too often.

When I was a kid, the Perry Mason theme would kind of spook me if it came on late at night when I was trying to go to sleep.

[Rathnait62]

It was cruel of your parents to turn the volume up like that.

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 10/20/06 at 5:29pm

My wife says the very same thing about the PERRY MASON theme.

Bewitched, bewitched, you've got me in your spell.
Bewitched, bewitched, you know your craft so well.

Before I knew what you were doing I looked in your eyes.
That brand of woo that you've been brew-in' took me by surprise.

You witch, you witch, one thing that's for sure,
That stuff you pitch - just hasn't got a cure.

My heart was under lock and key, but somehow it got unhitched.
I never thought my heart could be had.
But now I'm caught and I'm kind of glad to be Bewitched.
Bewitched-witched.


I have a snappy, Ultra-Lounge version of Peggy Lee swingin' that one.

Twelvy, your head must be the size of a watermelon to hold all the crap you have in it (she said with great affection).

"By the way: What the hell does the tossed salad and scrambled eggs thing from Frasier mean?"

I've wondered that too. This may offer some insight...

You mean it has notheing to do witn Frasier enjoyinh "having his salad tossed"?

By the way, any CHEERS fan knows thses words:

WE GOT A RIGHT TO START A LITTLE FIGHT - BONANZA!
IF ANYONE FIGHTS ANY ONE OF US - HE'S GONNA FIGHT US ALL!
