TV Themes

Hey Arnold Theme - Jim Lang

The opening theme for the classic 90's TV show. If anyone has the closing theme, "Stompin" or wants to figure it out and post it, that would be awesome.

Hi everybody, here's "Theme From A-Team" by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter.

Enjoy!

Theme From A-Team - Mike Post & Pete Carpenter

Here are some of my favorite TV themes. They show my age.

All are from TV series, except Brian's Song, which was a made-for-TV movie.

The Naked City theme was the original one composed by Billy May. Later the show changed to what was to me a less interesting theme by Nelson Riddle.

All of them lend themselves to a jazz treatment.

TV Themes (7)

Individual songs:
Baretta (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow) - Dave Grusin
Brian's Song (The Hands of Time) - Henry Mancini
I Love Lucy - Eliot Daniel
Medic (Blue Star) - Victor Young
Odd Couple-Rev JE, The - Neal Hefti
Route 66 TV Series - Nelson Riddle
Naked City (Original Theme) - Billy May

Cheers,

Good ones, Bob. Mostly after my time ...

Indeed. I'm lazy about transcribing, so I'm reluctant to subject others to it.

That's why I often link my charts to lead sheets for other posters.

Some of which, ironically, I transcribed from YouTube ...

Humans are enigmatically complex.
