Alternate theme tune...

The They Might Be Giants theme tune "Boss of Me"has been synonymous with the chaotic frenzy that is Malcolm in the Middle. But if it had a different theme tune, what would you want it to be? Here's my selection...

Ken Freeman's themes from "Casualty" (BBC medical drama)

Mike Post's theme from "City of Angels" (CBS Medical drama)

Joe Harnell's theme from "Santa Barbara" (NBC soap)

Mark Isham's theme from "Chicago Hope" (CBS Medical drama)

Russ Landau's theme from "Survivor" (we all should know that. l0l :p)

and Dominic Messinger's theme from "Another World" (NBC soap)

Of course, the ante could've been upped by using the CD version of "Boss of Me."

Oh my gosh there's people here! I still just can't picture MITM with any tune other than Boss of Me. :-D

Wanna know a funny theme for MITM?
The Family Matters theme. ;D
I say that because the Winslows on Family Matters are alot more sane and not dysfunctional than our Wilkersons. ;) I just think it'd be funny to have the Family Matters theme in place of "Boss of me".
...Hey Mike, do you mind doing that for me? Making the MITM opening credits with the Family Matters theme? ;D If you do, send it to me on my Youtube account!

What about All-American Rejects' "Move Along"? I know it was written in honor if this dead band member, but the message is clear - when things get tough, just move along.

Well... you guys ever think of soap themes? I'm not talkin about the classics, like Y&R and Days, but maybe... "General Hospital" or "One Life to Live" (the current mixes)?

I don't think a soap theme would go well with MITM. Like I said, if you made a video of the MITM opening credits with the "Family Matters" theme, that would be one of the funniest things Id ever saw. ;D

I might be going out on a limb to say this, but I will anyways. This song is called Welcome Home (Sanatarium) and by metallica. Unfortunetly, there is no legal way to get it to you other then through youtube, so about 1 (and 10 seconds or so) minute in, the vocals start. the kid is playing with the cd, but basicly, it's about a crazy guy trapped in a mental hospital (a vision of my future, for sure) Just grab 30 seconds from that, and it's MITM worthy IMO.

That sounds good. Real good.
Another suggestion - "Better Days". (You all know the artist. :) ) It would've been good if they used 30-45 secs; it's kool for MitM.

And J, with that attitude, you could be well on your way. ;D ;D

you hate it, I can tell. Almost no one can say that they listen to metal, let alone like it. :p I just happen to be insane...

No, seriously, the song's good. Catchy, too. Besides, the only music i have little patience for is rap (except Eminem). And I'm black ??? (sounds stereotypical, I know ).

lmao | back on track, nyah [here] (a la Cartman from "South Park")...

The theme from Lizzie McGuire -- oh, for corn's sake, I can't stand that! I'd sooner listen to the credits version of "Boss of Me" 100 times! ;D ;D

What about... any more ideas? ::)

Boss of me is still the best i think
All American rejects - Dirty little secrets would be quite good!
I dunno, what u think?

I guess it'd be good, seeing as how the family has many a secret that may or may not come out (But in "Stilts", the secrets came charging! ;D)

I would have said Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" for this, but then I saw the lyrics, and it is about a girl feeling left out of something, lol, so scratch that

hmm... maybe
Sum 41's "In Too Deep".. but that didnt come out until a year after MITM started.

and there has got to be at least one Blink-182 or Green Day song that will fit as a MITM theme, i just know it.
