Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between pop songs and TV theme songs?
There are a lot of songs about boats out there.
When it comes to music, there are seemingly infinite possibilities. However, with all of those millions of songs out there, it can be tough to keep the lyrics straight... especially when the subject matter is similar to that of another song.
We've taken some popular songs from all different genres and mixed them up with classic TV theme songs. Can you tell which is which? Good luck!

8/10
7/10
You got 10 out of 10
You know your theme songs! Or your pop songs?

Of course you know that some TV theme songs become pop songs (e.g., "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian).
8 out of 10.
I don't agree with #1. Those lyrics apparently ARE a part of some longer version of the theme song, but it was NEVER a part of the opening theme to the show itself.
8/10
10/10 wow! who'da guess i was listening lol
7 out of 10.
just 6 / 10 Missed 1, 2, 4, and 8
8/10! missed two.
6/10. Foiled by 1, 2, 4 and 6.
7/10. I didn't count the number of "rollins" in the Rawhide theme. Trick question.
That's not what you got wrong. The song never says "Keep rollin, rolllin, rollin", it says "Keep movin' movin' movin"

8/10! 1 was sorta bogus because that lyric is not in the broadcast theme, only on the single!

That's OK, you couldn't possibly know all those theme songs.

8/10, 'Walk on the Wild Side' would have been hilarious as the theme for 'Green Acres'
Yep, Lisa would have been a streetwalker and Oliver would have been her pimp daddy...LOL!!!
Don't know if that would have been the plot...but I'd watch something that used Walk On The Wild Side as its theme at least once.
I was 5/10 which is still 50%.
For #4, The Monkees, I remember that in the 2nd season, during the closing credits, the show added a different verse to the song which went:
In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine
That sounds more like the Who song than the original theme.

That song was called 'For Pete's Sakes'
And written by Peter Tork.
