Not many people new the words to that theme song...but here they are:
Dick Van Dike, DickVan Dike DickVan Dike DickVan Dike DickVan, Dike Dick Van Dike Dick Van Dike Dick Van Dike, Dick Van.
O.k. Stole that from Mark and Brian. I also like their version of "I Dream of Jeany":

[Rock-A-Bye-Baby]

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour tour, a three hour tour………
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost; the Minnow would be lost.
The ship took ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle,
with Gilligan, the Skipper too,
the Millionaire, and his Wife,
the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann,
here on Gilligan's Isle.
try getting that out of your head now!

Goin' down to South Park... Primus... LMAO :D :D :D

[imirsh1]

I dont know who sings it but the theme from Rescue Me.

[***boateditor]

My favorite instrumental theme was "thirtysomething."
Vocally, I've always loved "Seattle," the theme from Here Come the Brides:
The bluest sky you've ever seen, in Seattle.
And the hills, the greenest green, in Seattle.
Like a beautiful child
Growing up, free and wild.
Full of hopes and full of fears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of dreams to last a year
In Seattle.
When you find your own true love you will know it
By his smile, by the look in his eyes.
Some set pine trees in the air
Or some stand around and stare
Look out everyone...here come the brides!

[Froggystyle]

Theme for King of the Hill
I'm freinds with the guy who wrote/performed that song. Roger Clyne. That was his old band "The Refreshments".

[Froggystyle]

Fall Guy
DMB
Great one...
Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Farrah.
I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.
I've been on fire with Sally Field,
Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don't end up as mine.
It's a death defyin' life I lead,
I take my chances.
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin' ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.
I might fall from a tall building,
I might roll a brand new car.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.
I never spend much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.
I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

[Froggystyle]

My other all time favorite, probably the actual winner now that I remember it was the theme to "Simon and Simon". Great guitar riffs and sax playing.
I wonder what percentage of these winners were written by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter?

[Essex502]

The theme song for "Crime Story" was "Runaway" Performed by Del Shannon.
Also, second on my favorites list...Miami Vice though not really a "song" since there was no vocals. I consider it an instrumental.

[Wonderboy]

[Mohave Vice]

Also, second on my favorites list...Miami Vice though not really a "song" since there was no vocals. I consider it an instrumental.[/QUOTE]
Just love listening to theme of "Miami Vice" going WOT! This is how I named my wacker "Mohave Vice".

A few years ago we had a pig roast and made it a gilligans Island theme, everyone had to come as one of the seven castaways.
It was funny as hell, cocanut creme pies for desert.

We were talking about this with our crew at Black Meadow last week.
We mentioned this song and it stuck in our heads.........
Song: Road Runner Lyrics
If you're on the highway and Road Runner goes beep beep.
Just step aside or might end up in a heap.
Road Runner, Road Runner runs on the road all day.
Even the coyote can't make him change his ways.
Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through.
Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through.
That coyote is really a crazy clown,
When will he learn he can never mow him down?
Poor little Road Runner never bothers anyone,
Just runnin' down the road's his idea of having fun
