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!
  1. Is this verse from the theme song from WKRP in Cincinnati?
  2. Is this verse from the theme song from Rawhide?
  3. Is this verse from the theme song from Welcome Back, Kotter?
  4. Is this verse from the theme song from The Monkees?
  5. Is this verse from the theme song from The Mary Tyler Moore Show?
  6. Is this verse from the theme song from The Jeffersons?
  7. Is this verse from the theme song from The Love Boat?
  8. Is this verse from the theme song from The Greatest American Hero?
  9. Is this verse from the theme song from Green Acres?
  10. True fans will know if this verse is in the M*A*S*H theme song "Suicide is Painless," with lyrics.

Can you tell the difference between pop songs and TV theme songs?

Of course you know that some TV theme songs become pop songs (e.g., "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian).

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.

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.
