Serial TV theme composer Mike Post wrote this banger. And it's as amazing as Tom Selleck's impressive collection of short shorts.
You need something as insanely bombastic and bonkers as this tune for a show that featured Dirk Benedict and Mr T constantly on the run. Also, it's that man Mike Post again – what a legend.
Dudes, this tune is still totally bodacious AND rad after nearly 30 years. Catchy, rocking and it explains all four of the turtles' skills in a very short space of time. Though, we feel sorry that Michelangelo is limited to just being a 'party dude'.
A theme tune so good from Al Jarreau, that it became a hit single in its own right. Plus, it was produced by none other than Nile Rodgers and won two Grammy Awards.
OK, technically this began in 1978, but the version of the theme tune that we all know and love came in later, so we're counting it! It doesn't get much more 1980s nor spell out AMERICAN SOAP! than this right here. And all the 'slappadabass' action you can get.
Writer John Sullivan pulled off the amazing feat of creating not one, but TWO amazing theme tunes for the SAME SHOW. The intro has the Chas & Dave-style "na na na naa naa", while the outro has 'Hookey Street'. Both excellent in their own way. And sadly it's not Nicholas Lyndhurst singing, it's Sullivan himself.
This sunny show's second season brought in Survivor's Jimi Jamison to provide an epic power ballad that summed up the era perfectly, and still floods cheese night dance floors to this day. The first series made do with the less than thrilling 'Above The Waterline' by Kim Carnes.
This tune has it all. Crazily catchy, it sounds like the Hall & Oates hit we never had. It also has clever puns, amazing '80s power ballad vocals, saxophones AND a key change. Ooh-woo-woo!
Yep, our top five theme tunes of all time really do contain two shows starring David Hasselhoff. This is one of the best electro songsof all time, let alone theme tunes. Incredible.
It's one of those intros that will never get boring and you will always sing along. Gary Portnoy's theme tune has a strangely poignant quality to it, and we're still trying to find a pub where everybody knows our name. And preferably shouts it "Norm!" style whenever we arrive.
