/dev/null Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm goin' down to South Park gonna have myself a time, Friendly faces everwhere humble folks without temptation, I'm goin' down to South Park gonna leave my woes behind, Ample Parking Day or Night, people spouting, "Howdy, Neighbor" I'm headin' down to South Park gonna see if I can't unwind, <Kenny's lyrics vary by season> So come on down to South Park, and meet some friends of mine.

EC-Bills Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Unknown Stuntman (theme from the Fall Guy) Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with Farrah. I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine. I've been on fire with Sally Field, Gone fast with a girl named Bo, But somehow they just don't end up as mine. It's a death defyin' life I lead, I take my chances. I die for a livin' in the movies and TV. But the hardest thing I ever do Is watch my leadin' ladies Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee. I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand new car. 'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star. I never spend much time in school But I taught ladies plenty. It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey. I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, Blown up for Raquel Welch. But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey. I might jump an open drawbridge, Or Tarzan from a vine. 'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Well you've all come up with a lot of good ones, but the best lyrics for a TV show (although they were only played in the 200th episode in the case of the former and not at all for the latter) have to be Cheers (Where Everybody Knows Your Name - 2nd Verse) and M*A*SH (Suicide is Painless). "Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead, morning's looking bright. And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write. And your husband wants to be a girl. Be glad there's still 1 place in the world ..." The lyrics for Suicide is Painless were in the movie. Great songs. (I also liked WKRP's theme song but it wasn't nearly depressing enough!)

KD in CA Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Believe it or not, I'm walking on air,I never thought I could feel so free... Or the alternate version: Believe it or not, George isn't at home. Please leave a message at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home! But my favorite theme is from from Beavis and Butthead. "heh-heh----heh-heh-heh----heh-heh-heh....." snappy guitar solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
