17 Catchiest TV Theme Songs That Get Stuck in Your Head

16. Ally McBeal

Music was a big part of 90s show Ally McBeal, so much that the artist who recorded the theme song actually got a mention in the opening cast credits. Vonda Shepherd often appeared on the show singing in the bar where the lawyer friends used to hang out. “Searching My Soul” became a radio hit in 1998 and an anthem for the era.

17. Beverly Hillbillies

The prototype for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Beverly Hillbillies was a fish out of water comedy in the 1960s. Listen to the lyrics of “The Ballad of Jed Clampett” and you’ll essentially know the back story of the show. The song spent twenty weeks on the Billboard Country Singles chart, hitting number one for three of them. The banjo infused, bluegrass inspired ditty is one of the most memorable in TV history.
