I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic for the 80′s lately, and I have no idea why. I wasn’t very old during most of the 80′s, but what I do remember well are the amazing TV theme songs! The dramas had especially well-written compositions. Here were my top four, in no particular order:
Alright, right away, we need to cut out the first two. Interesting, but a little thin and not quite as moving as the others. Then there’s Doogie Howser and Alf. If you haven’t heard the Alf theme in a while, click on the link right now. Really, do it. I dare you to find a more perfect combination of slap bass, electric keyboards, and string synths.
Didn’t that just make you feel happy?
However, the Doogie Howser theme has a secret card up its sleeve: Neil Patrick Harris playing it on SNL with an orchestra. That’s right, he did it: A single tear. And the Howser wins!
But don’t step there. Let the 80′s nostalgia continue on with this amazing medley. Note the warning: “Severe Saxophone Overload.” Alright, who’s cutting up onions in here?
