Well, when Henry Mancini is writing your them song you just know it's gonna be great. Peter Gunn in a boat race.

I see your Mancini, and counter with a Quincy Jones trifecta

Yup, I love that show, and what a perfect theme song.

 

[Prepuce of Doom 21097]

+1 for The Greatest American Hero and the Dukes of Hazzard.

About 20 or 25 years ago were were at the beach sitting on a rooftop ocean side bar. There was a guy playing guitar, and after he took a break somebody started singing a theme song from something, and before you know it the whole place was singing along.  

20 minutes later we were all still singing, 40 or 50 people,  and the guy came back to play his next set, but couldn't because no one would shut up.  He stormed off, and everybody just sang louder.

Good call particularly the Leftovers. IIRC season 3 had a different theme song for each episode

I think you're right.  I felt bad that I couldn't remember season 3's song since that's one of my favorite shows of all-time, and I didn't bother searching because I thought it couldn't have been that memorable if I'm blanking on it.  Apparently they did use a bunch of songs, including this one which is hilarious:
