A TV Theme Song Thread

[Not Heidi]

Post your faves, lyrics - we'll guess the show - or videos.

Here's my favorite.


Whooo maaakes the fog surrounding the Golden Gate simply disappear?
[Name! Name!]
Who makes the warning bells on the cable cars play "The Gang's All Here?"
[Name! Name!]
Who charms the crabs on Fisherman's Wharf right out of their shells?
Who lights the lamps of Chinatown just by walking in view?
Whooo?
[Name! Name! Name!] - It sure isn't youuuuu...


Hint: The show was a spinoff.

Another hint: the star was an Academy Award winner and the winner of seven Emmys.

Bonus points: where is this show set?

7. The lyrics never made it to television

However the music composer's fantastic whistling did. Curiously, the composer did a lot of TV theme music, but also knocked out a solid jazz standard in 1939, covered by EVERYONE.


Johnny Otis's cover is my favorite (Rene Bloch totally nailed it)
