In case you missed last Friday’s interview with Sam Lloyd of Scrubs and the acapella band, The Blanks, check it out and get excited for the fact that the quartet will be performing two shows in the DC area later this week at the Arlington Drafthouse.
Excited yet? How about the chance to go for free? We have four pairs of tickets to give away (two for each night), and we’ll have two contests this week to find our winners. To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post – but I’ll only count it if you leave a link or the lyrics to your favorite, classic TV theme song. The Blanks are probably most known to Scrubs fans for their covers of a few sitcom and cartoon openings, so this seems like an appropriate challenge. I’ll even get it going with my personal favorite that happens to double as my phone ring:
We’ll select two winners at random from all eligible comments who leave their favorite theme by 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The first two winners will get to pick which night they want to see the band (either Friday’s 10 p.m. show or Saturday’s 7 p.m.), and we’ll have another contest later this week for the other two sets.
Chili’s Baby Back Ribs!
“When do they say ‘ribs’?”
“Never.”
I’d have to say that this is one of my FAVORITE theme songs:

oooooooh! AND who can forget this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiQzUEc_FmI
#thankyouforbeingafriend
But my fave Scrubs moment was, “BOING FWIP!”
GUMMY BEARS!

The Avenger’s Theme Song (can be heard here http://tinyurl.com/3yzgqvl).
Everything about it is awesome.
“Seventy-seven, Sunset Strip! [click click]”
Although actually, with family coming to town I couldn’t go to the show so I guess that entry can be considered void. I still like that theme song, though.
I love classic TV, but you can’t beat the Growing Pains theme. It’s even already been done acapella so The Blanks can pick it right up and make it their own: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcNy59hpVZo
Though I love the “Cheers” song, I have to go with “The Office” — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9GilKnpiv0.
Garfield and Friends! I still sing this all the time…

Maybe not a “classic” tv show, but I get this stuck in my head at least once a month:

For sheer peppiness, I vote for the Jetsons theme song. Sounds great acapella, I’m sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSptqzfTSSE
Thank you for being a friend.
Travel down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.
And if you threw a party,
invited everyone you knew.
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
thank you for being a friend.
-To Blanche, RIP, the original cougar.

Definitely DuckTales: http://bit.ly/cvfSOH
Although I considered the Wonder Years… I had to go with tooootally classic Nick
We run. We jump. We swim and play. We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever… are our dear friendships
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think about you (it makes me wanna fart!)
It’s ‘I hope we never part’. Now get it right or pay the price.
Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories.
By the lakes of Anawanna, Sat in the old pine trees.
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think about you, (this thing came apart)
Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna..
Live Anawanna-wanna! Ugh!
The Six Million Dollar Man!
“Your shunununununuh’s could be louder. You guys were fine.”
I’ll add a little color to the roll call with The Jeffersons’ theme song: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=22846080! Although, Ian’s listing of the Golden Girls is in my top ten.
It’s not original, but my favorite theme song from my childhood was the Gummy Bears theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJmWyZlW2sE
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They’ve given you a number
And taken away your name
Captain Planet- he’s our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero!

Who could it be? … belive it or not its just me!
