I second Seinfeld.

Also, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures, the Tick. There are a few others, but they don't come to mind right now.

And Night Court. The show is so dated it's not funny... pun intended... but the theme song still gets in my head. And I don't know why, but Mad About You. Dumb show, but the song is stuck in my head all the time.

For some reason I can hum or whistle the entire theme of "The A-Team", "MacGyver" and "Dallas" to the note. "Knight Rider" also, but it's just a freaking baseline, so it's not a big deal.

Those aren't TV themes, though.

Quantum Leap had a great instrumental theme, and the later eps used a punched-up version of it, sounded like a college marching band.

Knight Rider's up there too.

Nevair!!! Okay, I'll give them to you.

I'm somewhat surprised no one's mentioned the 90's X-Men cartoon. It's rarely stuck in my head, but I can see how it can be stuck in someone else's. (As far as Marvel cartoons, the campy Spider-Man cartoon theme gets stuck in my head, but I imagine I'm not the only one.)

Damn you MG, and here is why.

In the mid 90's before the crash of the comic distribution networks leaving nothing but Diamond as the source for comic shops to order their stock from, Marvel choose to self distribute all their books.

The would use the X-men cartoon theme for their hold music. It was set to just loop.

I like the music, then one day to place a reorder I had to listen to that piece for 90 minutes. Between that day and the other times I had to call them the song was ruined for me. I still get it in my head and i can't stand it.

Reading your post put it back in my head.

Thanks, and damn you.

Oh Thank Primus it wasn't just me! About halfway through it kind of melded into the Ben10 Alien Force theme. I knew this was a bad thread for me to walk into but I had to give into temptation and check it out. I'd had the Knight Rider theme going through my head at odd times the last 3 days and could only chase it out with the themes from either Red Dwarf or Absolutely Fabulous. Then I stepped into THIS thread and I've had to put up with snippets of every damn title I read going through my brain. I'm five seconds away from firing up the Media Player and seeing if "The Clairvoyant" by Iron Maiden can help purge this train wreck from my consciousness.

Great thread by the way NV! Can't decide whether to applaud you or curse you but Great Thread!
