Nell Carter Sang the 'Gimme a Break' Theme Song

Surely The Dukes of Hazzard counts. Waylon may not have appeared on screen, but he narrated every episode.

 

Queen Latifah wrote and sang the theme song for Living Single.

 

Walter Brennan didn’t sing this, but he recited a little poem to explain the show’s premise.

 

The amazing Mel Blanc:

 

All three MST3K hosts (Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson, Jonah Ray) have performed the theme song during their respective tenures on the show.

 

The original Drew Carey Show theme, "Moon Over Parma", sung by the man himself. This was later alternated with the Vogues' "Five O'Clock World" and a cover of "Cleveland Rocks" by the Presidents of the United States of America.

 

Zooey did the New Girl theme, natch.

 

Judi Dench, A Fine Romance

 

Patti LuPone, Life Goes On

 

Chuck Norris, Walker, Texas Ranger

 

In the "canceled after five minutes" category:



Also note use of a blue version of that "Miller Boyett" title font.

 

Frankie Laine sang the Rawhide theme. He pronounced it "raw-hoyd". TV show was notable for giving a start to a young actor named Clint Eastwood.

 

Will Smith (aka The Fresh Prince) doing his own theme song:

 

That's painful.

 

Two pages in and no mention of this classic?:-



Although admittedly, it's over the end credits rather than the opening titles. I do like the song, though - and the show was GREAT.

 

A terrible theme to a terrible sitcom.

 

Not Necessarily the News should have called Beetlejuice to get Nudge Nudge out of his house.

 

Desi Arnaz, I Love Lucy

 

Although she didn't sing it solo, Charlotte Rae, aka Mrs. Garrett, participated in the theme song for the first season of Facts of Life.

 

Har Mar Superstar sings Jonah's theme for...reasons.

 

That first joke already tells me this never should have happened.

 

Makin it!

 

Does this count?

 

And then there's Greg Evigan singing the theme from My Two Dads.

 

Yes.
