Man, me and my friend would kill for a decent copy of the Snorks theme song. We want to do a remix.

This might be the best website I have ever seen. I can finally listen to the 227 theme while I work.

I knew way too many of those for my own good. Cool find, especially with all the title screen shots.

There used to be a Television News Music Museum (US), but it appears to be gone. The theme music to the tv news broadcasts of one's youth are amazingly evocative.

amberglow, weirdly enough, that exact snatch of that exact song was going through my head when I was working on something yesterday. Synchronicity...or something...

That WKRP one sucked. Not the original recording. I wonder if this has something to do with them redoing all the music in that show for syndication release?

Are you talking about this Paris? If you mean US local news, that is.
