And now for Something Completely Different...

I needed to lighten up the mood here at the ol Blog o' Doob TM.

On my good friend Bill's Blog (The White Whale), there was discussion of great themesongs/opening titles of TV shows. It's certainly a lost art. Bill has made no secreti in the past about his affinity for the opening of The Streets of San Francisco (A Quinn Martin Production TM). It's true. It's pretty Great. The same could be said for a lot of Quinn Martin shows of the 60s & 70s. Ironside, Barnaby Jones, Mannix. The guy must have OWNED TV back then. I even think Quincy had a pretty clever intro. So I went to You Tube TM to refresh my memory.

Lo & behold...I found this:



Those who know me realize that this pretty much laid waste to me for a good half an hour. I've never been known for a highly evolved sense of humor. I like the easy laugh. I like the cheap laugh.

This Theme Song with lyrics is both.

I just wish I'd had done it.

Pretty damn funny. You know, I have a half completed Star Wars The Musical that I did this way.

Man o Man I watched that every day after school, trying to figure out if I was supposed to think Quincy was sexy... is he?
