On today’s episode, the songs are coming at you from every channel on the dial—we’ve got songs about superheroes, secret agents, and stranded castaways. It’s time for another TV theme countdown. This time from the 60s. We’ve already hit the 70s and 80s. And you loved them both. But as good as they were, this decade is a goldmine. We’ve got themes that were sung, whistled, and snapped into pop culture history. Including the Batman theme locked us all in with just a single word. Then there was the Star Trek theme that was the subject of some behind-the-scenes controversy, when the show’s creator wrote secret lyrics to the instrumental theme… just so he could rake in the royalties. Then there’s the Andy Griffith Show theme that a songwriter tried to nail down using actors, musicians, different instruments, and nothing worked. He was so flustered, he walked up to the mic and whistled the song… it became 1 of the most magical themes ever. We’re counting ‘em all down NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
