What makes a TV theme tune memorable for you

Adelante

As the boy Eamon would say "he's a good theme tune, but not a great theme tune"
So what is it that does it.. ie makes it memorable, for you.

At the moment for me it's Big Brothers -Paul Oakenfold's, Element 4

Then old school, Treasure Hunt:

Then u have the usuals like MacGyver, A-Team, etc.
Is it beacuse they remind us of better times, when things where innocent and we were young and naive, if its ok with Mods share your thoughts, keep them clean and above board or Mods will do ... well, Mods will do, what Mods do best, if it's ok with the G(M)ods maybe you can share your memory too, if it not thats ok too.

Being able to remember it helps!

for me its arrested development and the us office that i find myself humming alot, great melodies and very different from majority, classics include quantum leap and crystal maze, the maze had a sense of urgency like a last minute dive to prevent lock in ha,

Yes true, remembering does help comes in handy

Having a saxaphone on it helps

I don't know for some reason I like the Practice opening titles and theme.

for me anyway i like the whole electronic bass thing going on in the new knight rider remake opening sequence, not a bad remake either imho!

Reginald P. DuM

I like this one, because it somehow manages to convey the madness that is the life of Larry David in the show. The piece is called "Frolic" and was written by Italian composer Luciano Michelini.
