I think the ultimate TV show theme song is the Mary Tyler Moore Show's theme, written by Buddy Holly's bandmate Sonny Curtis, who also brought us "I Fought the Law."
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh, now some places, I'm seeing Barry and DuBois credited with both the writing and singing (along w/gospel choir), and in others, I'm seeing Barry and DuBois credited with the writing, and DuBois and Waters (and a gospel choir) credited with the singing.

Yeah, that's a good twofer. I prefer Husker Du's cover to Joan Jett's, but Joan's is still pretty good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I did not know this. "I Fought the Law" sounds quite a lot like Buddy Holly in my head, but I never would've guessed at a connection to the MTM theme (which, I agree, is the perfect TV theme that isn't The Tick).

I have that! From the first Buffistamix CD swap, I think. Love it.

It was actually a hit for another Texan with a rockabilly bent, Bobby Fuller.
Bobby Fuller has the greatest mysterious death in all of rock and roll. The official cause of death is that he committed suicide by drinking gasoline. Yeah, right.

Yeah. I was thinking the Globe's tourney was kind of lame for not including that, particularly since it's included ungood ones like the Charles in Charge theme. They must have wanted to broaden the range a little. I thought the Maude theme should have been on there, too.

Yerp. But can you imagine if Buddy had lived to record it? The world might've exploded from the coolth.

I think the Jazz started in St. Louis(?) back in the day. Which isn't silly, at least.
