I still wake up sometimes humming the theme song for the "Lone Ranger". We all remember that one.
"Da... dada... da da..." William Tell.

Us old folks remember arguably the biggest TV Hit Theme Song, The Ballad of Davy Crockett! The Ballad of Davy Crockett" is a song with music by George Bruns and lyrics by Thomas W. Blackburn. It was introduced on ABC's television series Disneyland, in the premiere episode of October 27, 1954. Fess Parker is shown performing the song on a log cabin set in frontiersman clothes, accompanied by similarly attired musicians. Over ten million copies of the song were sold.

It's funny how TV theme songs can stick in the recesses of your mind. Whenever I visit Disneyland here in So Cal, and go to their "Fort Wilderness" attraction, this song always comes to mind.

A great movie with a great song. I remember Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue are so young and adorable.

Oh my! The eternally-youthful Karen Valentine. And the forever middle-aged-looking Michael Constantine. This show had a great vibe. Idealistic, to be sure. But an agreeable combination of light-heartedness and drama, featuring a very likable cast, and an effort to treat seriously some rather novel issues. And a theme song that fits perfectly. Thanks!

Great choice. I didn't know this great classic is from The Lone Ranger.

 

[Bama fan]

I loved this show once. Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother were despicable.

Theme is good....Dame Diana (RIP) even better...

For a high school they sure had a lot of students in their twenties...

Not particularly musical but a real classic (known only to the old folks...).

Here are the short version and a link to a longer one with both the music and a program intro featuring Jack Webb as the star detective. Some may note a few differences between this (starting with black and white TV) and the old shows, criminals/crimes, and police of today.
