Is secs the mark? My Studio. Between and No set length. Average is probably around , maybe less. Louis Alexis. So to get back on the topic of this thread, for the present day I'd guesstimate 30 sec. Of course in the very near future expect it to be reduced to a mere "soundbyte". I'm currently working on an opening theme for a new series.
You might not know the names of Post and Carpenter, but between them they composed theme music for a mind-boggling number of shows, including CHiPs , Magnum P.
Better than the intro to Wide World of Sports. Fun fact: the famous big-band rave-up was not the theme song for the first two-plus seasons. It arrived during the third season, and was later added to the first two for syndication.
But really, to paraphrase Chandler Bing, could there be a more perfect song about the friends you make your family? The song captured the zeitgeist of the moment and still makes me want to dance in a fountain with my umbrella and clap, clap, clap. The iconic kids show devises new versions year after year, but the foundation is always there, and it never fails to put a smile on your face.
Veronica Mars was about teenage detective, but it was also about the struggles of navigating the tricky waters of high school. Veronica knew this and The Dandy Warhols spoke to the teenager in all of us. The early s saw a string of shows dealing with single parenthood, but only one of them had a theme song by Harry Nilsson. The Santa Monica band originally released the quirky banjo song in for The Tao of Steve soundtrack and later included it on its record All the Time in the World.
Who knew that the same composer responsible for Peter Gunn also wrote the music to accompany Rerun dribbling a basketball? This instrumental soundtracked more than its share of high-fives and unnecessary snacks from to This was particularly useful in the days when network television was pretty much the only game in town, and there was no streaming or DVRs. Heck, VCRs weren't even in widespread use yet. Series built their audiences through word of mouth, and if you didn't happen to start watching a show from its very first episode, you were probably going to need a brief synopsis before settling in.
The theme song accomplished this beautifully, setting the stage for what was to come while also serving as a nice, familiar intro for those already in the know. These days, however, series don't need to explain the entire premise before each episode. Audiences are much more likely to seek out and watch them from the beginning, and if they want to know more about what they're getting into, it's super easy to get all the information they need with the devices we carry around in our pockets every day.
This is far from the only purpose that theme songs serve, but there's another modern-day consideration that has caused producers and executives to lean away from traditional theme songs: the attention spans of contemporary audiences. That's not to say that today's viewers aren't just as likely to get sucked in to a favorite show, but in the days of The Brady Bunch and the like, there were simply far fewer choices. Audiences were more inclined to park on one TV channel and go along for the ride — whereas today, there are hundreds broadcast and cable channels and a ton of streaming services vying for viewers' attention.
While it might seem like a bit of an unfounded fear, the truth is that most producers would rather not take the chance of losing even a small portion of their audience with an overly long, drawn-out theme song. Industry professionals recognized this years ago, and if anything, that notion has likely become even more prevalent. That song came out long before the show, but the upbeat tune does seem to be fitting for the series.
Choosing The Office's theme song that fit the show was a long journey, but once the creators knew what they wanted, they wasted no time and they recorded the song one week before the show first aired on television. The band, The Scrantones, got together on a Thursday night and created the tune all fans of The Office know and love.
Before they recorded it, a producer of the U. The Office theme song itself became an iconic moment for the show. The cast of the American version of The Office w as so involved in the creation of the show that they got the chance to help the creators choose what song would become the theme of it.
Actor Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott on the show, has talked about how the intro to The Office was chosen, and the fact that the cast got to vote on it. We had four different versions of the theme song from different artists, and Greg Daniels, the producer, sent us all versions.
And as a cast, we voted on what was going to be our theme song. Actor and musician Creed Bratton, who played a character of the same name on the show , once sang his own version of the Office theme song. With Creed being a part of a band, it tracks for the actor.
