We are back again with another top 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,000 five list. I'm so excited. I love these top five 4 00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:18,960 lists and our fans seem to love them too. 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: I know they do pretty well, so why not keep 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,719 doing them? 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: And as far as top five lists go, my favorites 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,199 so far have been our TV themes from seventies and 9 00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:31,359 the eighties, and so we here back today to jump 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,600 back into it with the TV themes from the nineties. 11 00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:37,240 We're gonna have two episodes. Episode one, we're going to 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,479 cover TV themes from nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety four, 13 00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,240 and in episode two, we're going to cover TV themes 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,560 from nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine. 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,119 Speaker 2: It sounds good to me. What were you doing in 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,920 the mid to early nineties. 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's interesting because you and I talked 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,600 about when we were doing our very first episodes, when 19 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,759 we were talking about Raiders of the Lost Arc versus 20 00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:58,560 Back to the Future, the difference in our ages, although 21 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,359 it's just a couple of years and have a dramatic 22 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:03,759 difference in what we were going through at a particular time. 23 00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:06,000 That's true So when eighty one, when Raiders came out, 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920 you were eight or so, eight or nine and I 25 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,640 was five, right, And the difference between eight and five 26 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,079 is huge, right, especially when you got people's faces melting off. Right. 27 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,000 I didn't get to say that for another ten years 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,319 after that. 29 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 30 00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: And so then you look again in the nineties, you 31 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:25,200 go mid nineties, and I'm thinking in the mid nineties, 32 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,719 Jason was getting married. 33 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,599 Speaker 2: I got married ninety six. Yeah, that's right. 34 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:31,359 Speaker 1: And in the mid nineties I was graduating from high school. 35 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: That's a that's a big deal, that's right. 36 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the. 37 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:37,159 Speaker 2: Different stages of life doing different things. So I don't know, 38 00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:39,200 we'll see. I'm really anxious. I don't know what your 39 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,000 list is. You don't know what my list is, right, 40 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,879 probably watching different things. I'm guessing we were watching different things. 41 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,200 And I'm going to tell you right now, there are 42 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,439 some TV themes that I have on here that are 43 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,000 from shows that I didn't really watch and maybe didn't 44 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,760 watch at all, but they're fantastic themes, and so I'm 45 00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,760 excited to talk about them. Okay, So here's the deal. Okay, 46 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280 So there are some themes that I have that I 47 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:02,159 like the song. There are some things that I have 48 00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:04,560 that I like the TV show, and there's some themes 49 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,879 that I have just because it reminds me of this era. 50 00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:10,759 I'm a very nostalgic person, so when I hear a song, 51 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560 it transports me back. Now that doesn't mean I am 52 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,240 in love with the song, but I might be in 53 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,439 love with a few moments that I associate. I'm a 54 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,240 tangled mess of nostalgia and you know popcorn and you 55 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,879 know chocolate. 56 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you there is one show that did 57 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,759 not make my cut, but I kept thinking to myself, 58 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:30,560 I know there's a strong chance that Jason's going to 59 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,639 pick this just because of his love for the show. 60 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,560 So I'm interested to see if it makes it onto 61 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:35,199 one of your lists. 62 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:37,039 Speaker 2: All right, man, well let's let's do this. 63 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Okay, First we set out the rules. What we do 64 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,039 is we cover the first part will be THEV themes 65 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,520 from nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety four. The only thing 66 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,400 that you have to do to qualify to be in 67 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,199 that realm is you have some episodes that were released 68 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,000 during that time, right. And then the other rule is 69 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,120 it has to be a theme that was created specifically 70 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,599 for the show can't have golden girls, we can't have 71 00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:03,560 one years, we can't have married with children because those 72 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,199 were all songs that were reissued for the show. Oh, 73 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,879 I see a nervous look over there. I think you 74 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,599 forgot that rule. A little panic is setting in. Maybe 75 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,840 maybe all right, Well we'll see. With that being said, 76 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:19,000 these could be shows that you guys may associate with 77 00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:21,080 the later part of the decade. You may associate it 78 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,919 with the eighties. Could be any of them, but they 79 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,960 can fall as long as they've got some episodes that 80 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,639 came out in the years that we have, first part 81 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,439 being ninety to ninety four, second part being ninety five 82 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560 to ninety nine, And it qualifies. 83 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,319 Speaker 2: Sounds good. 84 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,599 Speaker 1: Let's do this all right now, Jason. The way that 85 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:38,759 we typically do this is we give each other teasers 86 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,400 and let the other guy try to guess it. And 87 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,240 as a matter of fact, it's my favorite part of 88 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,719 what we do, and so I kind of focused on that. 89 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,800 All right, So here you go number five for me. Five. 90 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000 This show aired from October of nineteen eighty eight until 91 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,000 March of nineteen ninety seven. It was the number one 92 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,439 series from nineteen eighty nine to nineteen ninety and in 93 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,840 nineteen ninety the title character kind of got canceled. Now, 94 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,039 the show went on, obviously for many years after that, 95 00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,840 so she wasn't completely canceled, but then she got canceled again, 96 00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:19,399 canceled maybe even a handful of times. And in twenty 97 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,759 twelve she received seventy thousand votes for the US President. 98 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,839 You know what show I'm talking about. 99 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: It's got to be Roseanne. 100 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: You got a buddy, I love it? Yes, Okay, Now, 101 00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:44,720 I had my own mind blown as I started looking 102 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,920 at this right. So the first thing that I'm gonna 103 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720 do is I'm gonna look at the composers. Okay, sure, 104 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800 I see the first composer's name, and I'm like, oh, 105 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,959 that's the same name as the first law firm I 106 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,519 clerk for in law school. And I started thinking, I'm like, 107 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,199 wait a minute. That lawyer told me that his son 108 00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:03,759 was a music composer in Hollywood, and I looked it up, 109 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,199 and sure enough, Dan Folliart is the son of James D. Folliart, 110 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:13,279 who I worked for my first year in law school 111 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,759 and for the remaining years of law school. He was 112 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,439 born in like nineteen nineteen. He was in his eighties. 113 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,160 Whenever I met him, you know, he wasn't really practicing 114 00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,079 law anymore. He was just the guy Carrie and the 115 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,399 you know, the the rain making. But he's, you know, 116 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,399 just I met him a few times, this old eighty 117 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,360 year old man. He's like, yeah, my son's a composer. 118 00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:35,720 I'm like, oh, old guy. What Yeah. So, Dan Folliart 119 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,759 and a couple of other guys were composers for this song. 120 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,160 The other guys are Howard Pearl, who did the TV 121 00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,519 version of the ninety to five series, and then a 122 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,279 guy named W. G. Snuffy Walden, who composed the music 123 00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:54,480 for the West Wing. He actually started as a guitarist 124 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 for an episode of Laverne and Shirley, but went on 125 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:59,519 to compose many many more TV shows. 126 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,199 Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of NOTTHEW. 127 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: Walden. 128 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,319 Speaker 2: I'll just tell. 129 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,079 Speaker 1: You you should be, because this bluesy theme is friggin' 130 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:14,600 awesome blue I love this TV theme. It's super catchy, right, 131 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,480 It is very catchy. And one of the guys that 132 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,879 loved the theme of the show had his own band, 133 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,399 and a few years later he ends up being in 134 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,439 the show as Dan Connor's old high school band. Okay, 135 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,399 now you know that the theme for the show is 136 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,560 strong on harmonica. Right, Well, this guy's name who's a 137 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,240 big fan of the show is John Popper. You might 138 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,560 better know him as the lead singer for a group 139 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:48,600 called the Blues Traveler. 140 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:50,519 Speaker 2: Whoa are you serious? 141 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:54,759 Speaker 1: Yes? And so for like their final season, it's actually 142 00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,879 John Popper, a Blues Traveler, playing the harmonica for the 143 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,600 show theme. 144 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: That's wonderful, good job like it. 145 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,199 Speaker 1: Original harmonica player John Luke Logan. 146 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,519 Speaker 2: Okay, so that brings me to my number five. 147 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: You're a number five, all right, your honor. 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask for a bend in the rules here, Okay, Okay, 149 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,800 So here's the deal. This song was not created for 150 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:19,839 this show. However, I'm gonna make the case that it 151 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,399 was rescued from total obscurity. 152 00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:24,199 Speaker 1: Okay. 153 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,199 Speaker 2: So it wasn't a popular song, wasn't well known. The 154 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,319 field producer for this show just happened to be a 155 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,680 fan of this band, and so he's like, what about 156 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,439 this song, this obscure track that nobody knows for the 157 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:43,519 theme of the show, And it literally became like the 158 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,519 biggest thing ever. 159 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,519 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Oh. 160 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: My gosh, if I say the name of this TV show. 161 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,319 You're gonna sing the words of this song. 162 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:50,959 Speaker 1: Okay. 163 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,319 Speaker 2: So here's the deal. This song reached number eight on 164 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,079 the Hot one hundred when it was released as a 165 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,560 single June twelfth of nineteen ninety three. So it peaked 166 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,959 out at number eight. That's blocking Living on the Edge 167 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,920 and Come undone by Duran Durant. Okay, Okay, So this 168 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,959 song was originally off an album that was released in 169 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,160 nineteen eighty seven. 170 00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:10,959 Speaker 1: Okay. 171 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,199 Speaker 2: The band's name is Inner Circle. 172 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,639 Speaker 1: Okay that do anything for you?

Yeah, I 394 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,240 would have no idea what that guy looks like. 395 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 3: Right. 396 00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:52,759 Speaker 1: Well, So I was watching Fuller House and there's this 397 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,480 kind of awkward scene where he sings with Candace Cameron 398 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,640 and they're both awful. I mean, they're just awful, and 399 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,559 I'm like, you can't be awful. 400 00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:03,079 Speaker 2: He was Aladdin seriously. 401 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it's because they had a different guy sing 402 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,319 the songs than the guy who was voicing the character. 403 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 2: You have just destroyed my world by telling me that 404 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,119 it's a whole new world. 405 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,079 Speaker 1: You're you're gonna lop him up to me. 406 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,319 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have that, all right, Okay, all right, So 407 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,680 we're to my number two. All right? So my number 408 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,000 two is a song that's very colorful and fun. It's 409 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,880 a song that gets its basis off of a song 410 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,640 from the summer of nineteen eighty eight. 411 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: Okay. 412 00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,599 Speaker 2: This TV show ran from September of nineteen ninety through 413 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,720 May of ninety six. It has the line Yo Holmes, 414 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:45,960 smell you lator in it. 415 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, that's it is. The Fresh Prince 416 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,240 of bel Air is in. 417 00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:56,599 Speaker 3: West Philindelbia Bonn and rais on the playground of Ammathon. 418 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 4: Most of my days chilling out Max and relaxing, all cooling, 419 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880 shooting some people outside of. 420 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,319 Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, And the opening theme for this looks just 421 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,319 like parents. Just don't understand. You've got the same kind 422 00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:10,480 of mom character. 423 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: From the video.

Ye, you've got the graffiti line background. 426 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,920 So I think this is more like an eighties theme 427 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,279 song because it tells what the show is about. It 428 00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,519 explains the plot. It gives you everything you need to know. 429 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:26,359 Instead of trying to make a hit song, which you 430 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,200 know some of these looks like they're trying to make 431 00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:28,839 hit songs. 432 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,839 Speaker 1: Well, they made a hit song. It did very well, 433 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,920 especially in the Netherlands and Spain.

Right, 589 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,599 I did not watch this show. I am familiar with 590 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,799 it because my kids watched it. Okay, but here are 591 00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:38,480 your clues. Okay again. Our composer is Ron Wasserman. Although 592 00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:42,359 he listed himself at that time as Aaron Waters or 593 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,759 the Mighty Raw, he had gotten a job as musician. 594 00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:48,559 He had gotten a job filling in at the production 595 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,480 company which was called Sabon Entertainment, and then he just 596 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,839 ended up staying for six and a half years. He 597 00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:59,920 ends up writing the song for X Men, the animated series, 598 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,279 which we played just a second ago, and then he 599 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,359 was given some raw footage of this new show that 600 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,200 they were going to do. The new show took some 601 00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:12,480 adopted stock footage from a Japanese TV series that was 602 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:17,279 part of Toy's Super SINAI O K now. When he 603 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:22,359 got this footage, the producer, the owner of the entertainment company, said, 604 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,400 I want you to use the word go. He used 605 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,799 it twice in the song. This part amazed me. He 606 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:34,079 composed this on a keyboard that was preloaded with guitar 607 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,480 and drum sounds because he didn't play guitar and drum. 608 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:38,440 But I'm gonna let you take a listen to the song. 609 00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,680 You may not even recognize it. This may be so 610 00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:44,279 far out of your wheelhouse that you don't recognize it. 611 00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,759 But I think you're going to love it. 612 00:31:45,920 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 5: Okay, it's kick. 613 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,039 Speaker 2: But right, that's very catchy.

I don't 621 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,720 really remember. I have the theme from the movie that 622 00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:38,519 came out in the two thousands because I use it 623 00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:40,759 when I'm working out, and I started listening to this, 624 00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:42,960 I'm like, this is these are my words in my head. 625 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,960 This is so kick ass that I am not going 626 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,599 to turn it off.

But I knew you 632 00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:11,960 would love it because this could be a hair metal 633 00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:17,480 rock anthem from the late eighties, right right. It is fantastic. 634 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,079 I just I gotta say I was I had listened 635 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:21,480 to it.

But when they did the movie, 649 00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:07,720 they featured Eric Martin of Mister Big Yeah, and on 650 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:10,400 drums they had Matt Sourm who had played drums for 651 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,400 Guns and Roses.
