These might be stuck in your head.
I was watching an episode of The Simpsons with my niece recently and I was amazed to see that she knows every beat to arguably the best show of all-time. This got me thinking about some of the more memorable TV themes from shows that I used to watch when I was growing up.
Let us know what your favourite TV tune was.
1) Football Italia
In a few words: How many people thought that the guy said Lazio at the end?

2) Saved by The Bell
In a few words: It’s almost good enough to make you feel happy about going to your own school. Preppy.
3) Round the Twist
In a few words: I instantly apologise for the fact that this song is now going to be lodged in your brain.
4) Eye on Springfield
In a few words: The actual theme song from The Simpsons is so well known that it’s a cliche to put it in this list. Also, this has more sex appeal but I could do with seeing more of Arnie Pie in the sky.
5) Sports Stadium
In a few words: The Final Countdown makes everything better.

6) Unsolved Mysteries
In a few words: The tune is so freaky but it’s still not as creepy as the voice of the host, the late Robert Stack could terrify you with a single word.

7) Cheers
In a few words: If the previous show was haunting, ominous and scary then this is the very opposite. There’s a reason why it was constantly played on repeat in the ’90s. It’s like a hug and a pint.
8) Duck Tales
In a few words: Why doesn’t my uncle have a vault of coins in his house?
9) The X-Files
In a few words: What creeped you out the most? For me, it was always the strange warped head.

10) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In a few words: We all had our favourite one but then you grow up and realise that Raphael was always the coolest.
11) Animaniacs
In a few words: The same thing we do every night…
12) The Crystal Maze
In a few words: We all got a sadistic laugh when people were locked in after failing to complete the challenge in time.

13) Match of the Day
In a few words: Still the most popular song for most people on a Saturday night. We all know the iconic music but do you remember this brilliant tune that soundtracked ‘goal of the season’?
14) Fresh Prince of Bell Air
In a few words: You know all the words.
15)Â Bouli
In a few words:Â I wish that there’s a clearer version of this tune on the internet.
