TV Theme Songs In the Last 10 Years – What Happened to Actual Songs with Lyrics?
Back in the 80s and 90s TV series actually had songs as their theme songs. Real songs. Friends had The Rembrandts I'll Be There for You, Golden Girls had Thank You for Being a Friend, originally by Andrew Gold sung by Cynthia Fee on the show. However, these days it is hard to find a show without an instrumental as their theme song. So I started search and found some of the best current series with actual an actual song with lyrics as their theme song.
Sons of Anarchy
This LifeThe song was written by Curtis Stigers, Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner, producer Bob Thiele Jr. and show creator Kurt Sutter. You know when you hear those first cords, you are about to embark on a journey into the life of a motorcycle club.
