(To be honest, until double-checking the lyrics in writing this very comment, I always thought the line started "beans don't burn in the kitchen" which I think is far superior to the fish line).<BR/><BR/>The theme to Gilligan's Isle is part of my genetic makeup since I watched it so much as a kid, but I don't like the song as much as others.<BR/><BR/>Freida B, way back in <A HREF="http://isplotchy.blogspot.com/2007/06/it-struck-their-tiny-raft.html" REL="nofollow">June of 2007</A> I had a hankering to hear the Land of the Lost theme, as I said then, "Just 'cause".

The only thing that I remembered about the opening to Quincy was where you thought he had his hand on a corpse, but it turned out to be a babe in a bikini.

I might have a copy laying about. I really love the theme to Taxi, it had a really nice, understated melancholy to it. I think the Cheers theme song was trying for a similar feel to the Taxi theme. I'm kind of tired of the Hill Street Blues theme songs -- maybe I heard it too much as a youngun.<BR/><BR/>Kevin, Peter Gunn is indeed fantabulous. I first heard it in the arcade game Spyhunter, then later in The Blues Brothers. Like you, I have never seen the original show. Devo does a great cover of Secret Agent Man on their second album.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-86311468723514540232008-05-19T10:19:00.000-05:002008-05-19T10:19:00.000-05:00Oh Snap!
