Theme songs, although fairly short introductions, say a lot about what is to follow. The Brady Bunch briefly tells the story of how the family came to know each other. "Here's the story, of a lovely lady..." The intro to Cheers says, "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name." This is evident in the show when a group of friends are constantly congregated at the same bar, discussing jobs, family, and life. The Addams Family theme song describes the family to a tee. "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky. They're all together ooky. They Addams family."
If you could have a theme song to descbribe yourself, what would it say? Who would write the lyrics? Would it be fast paced or slow? What kinds of instruments would be playing?

I love the songs of the old shows. But they do have a way of getting stuck in your head. Well, now everyone on my floor will know the characteristics of the Adams family!
