* The theme for the original run of Series/TheFactsOfLife was performed by Gloria Loring, who was not in the cast. But in possibly the most delayed example of this trope, Lisa Whelchel (Blair on the original series) sang the theme when an episode was recreated in December 2021 on "Live Before a Studio Audience", 33 years after the show ended, while Jennifer Aniston played Blair in the remake.

* Every iteration of the ThemeTune of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' was written and performed by the show's stars - Joel Hodgson wrote the lyrics that appear during his five seasons on the show, and all the variations that appear during the Mike years were written by Mike Nelson himself. (Considering that Mike wrote about three out of every five songs performed on the show, this is not actually all that surprising.) The streak was broken by Season 11, with lyrics written and sung by Har Mar Superstar, albeit with part of the song being sung by Creator/FeliciaDay, who played the show's new BigBad.

* The two theme tunes of ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' are sung by John Sullivan, the series creator.
** Something that some people have noticed about the way Sullivan sings it is that he sounds like one of the main characters, Rodney. A few people did indeed think that Nicholas Lyndhurst was the one singing it.* Creator/DavidCassidy sang both versions of ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'''s theme song.
