Paramount Photo/Gale Adler/NBCThere I was, sitting at my desk and writing a post about the first Fuller House table read of season two. I was minding my business, really—but then it hit me: "But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggsssssssssssssssssss."
Yes, the Frasier theme song popped into my head. NOT EVEN THE FULL HOUSE THEME SONG. And it wouldn't go away. I have not seen an episode of Frasier in at least 15 years. What did I do to deserve this terror? I'm mostly a good person!
Honestly, I like Frasier. It's a funny show. But do you know what the most horrible phrase to have stuck in your head on repeat all afternoon is? "But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggsssssssssssssssssss."
They called me again and again, all damn day.
That is a stupid song.
To inflict my pain on everyone else, here is a list of five of the worst TV theme songs that to have stuck in your head all day. If I have to suffer, you do too.
Frasier
As I mentioned before, those lyrics are dumb. They don't even make sense the first time, and they make less and less sense the more you repeat them.
South Park
If you're actually watching South Park, this one's fine. But otherwise, it's a to race to turn off the TV after Broad City to keep from having this specific part stuck in my head: "friendly faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation." It might be the voices that do the most damage.
The Mindy Project
Okay, this one's pretty catchy. That isn't the problem. The real issue is the lack of words, so you basically cluck like a chicken whenever you sing it out loud. (You're doing that in your head right now so you know I'm correct.)
The Voice
Lots of amazing singing talent on The Voice! Fun show! But heaven help you if you happen to get the short but verrrrry memorable not-quite-a-song stuck in your head: "This is The Voice!"
Fake Dawson's Creek
"I Don't Want to Wait" is a great song. The alternate theme, which is what's included on the Hulu/DVD versions of the show, makes little to no sense. "Oh bows and arrows, stars and sunsets…suits of armor, hearts and arrows, hey hey hey yeah." What a cool list of random things!
