->''"By the way, if you walked in late,\\
Allow me to reiterate,\\
The name of this movie\\
Is ''Spy Hard''!"''
-->-- '''Music/WeirdAlYankovic''', ''Film/SpyHard''

So you have this show and need to make a ThemeTune for it that lets the viewer know what exactly they're going to be watching for the next half-hour. One common tactic is to just repeat the title of the show in the tune.
May also incorporate a popular CatchPhrase from the show.

Particularly in children's shows, the practice helps to cement the name of the show [[MerchandiseDriven and its merchandise]] in the minds of the little viewers to get them interested.

Can easily overlap with the ExpositoryThemeTune. SubTrope of TitleDrop. Often used in shows featuring a CharacterTitle, thus emphasizing not only the show name, but the name of the show's star character.

!!General:
* While not as common in anime these days (a few still do it), it was more or less a regular thing during the 1960s and '70s, just like it is in Western animated media now. In the '70s, some subversions, and even aversions started coming up. That is, while the song may be named after the show, it may not necessarily contain the entire title, or it may omit the title. For example, the song is called "Anime/CuteyHoney", but the closest it comes to containing the title is when it refers to the character "Honey" by name, and also when it incorporates her [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull transformation phrase]] ("Honey Flash!"). ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' and ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' have theme songs named after their respective shows, but do not contain the actual titles of the shows in their lyrics. Instead, they merely describe what they are talking about.

!!Specific works:
* [[Anime/AstroBoy As you go-go-GO,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmAaz3irJVQ Astro Boooooy!]] / [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LuEfv-K6rs Testuwa-n Aaaatomu!]] The TropeMaker, at least for anime.
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' (at least in the dub).
** {{Averted|Trope}} with ''5D'''s, but we had to fight for that one.
** The Italian version of the ''5D'''s theme has YU-GI-OH! in pretty much every line of the chorus, and at the beginning: "Yu-Gi-Ohhhh! You're still fighting for... Yu-Gi-Ohhhh! ... Fighting for your life! Yu-Gi-Ohhhh!" and so on.
* "Just like magic, watch and see; ''Anime/MagicalDoReMi!''"
* ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'' does this in some seasons of the show, such as Kuru Kuru Shuffle, where they sing "Onegai My Melody!" and "Kuru Kuru Shuffle!" At the end of the Onegai My Melody Kirara★ theme, they sing "My Melody!"
* Same goes for every opening of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
** ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl'': The themes for ''Battle Dimension'', ''Galactic Battles'', and ''Sinnoh League Victors'' are less like this, though they still have to TitleDrop at the very end to remind us that we're watching ''Pokémon''.
** The openings for ''[[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries Master Quest]]'', ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesRubyAndSapphire Advanced Challenge]]'', and ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesRubyAndSapphire Battle Frontier]]'' also, said phrases only mentioned once throughout the song.
** Same goes to the Japanese opening too. Some of the opening are a few exceptions such as ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesBlackAndWhite Best Wishes]]'' and ''Spurt''.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** The dub for ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' puts even less effort into it: "Dragon, Dragon, Rock the Dragon, Dragon Ball Z." Followed by some rock music, then more Dragons. (Later re-airings of the dub replaced the opening with an InstrumentalThemeTune).
** And the less said of the French theme tune (itself also eventually replaced), the better.
** But lots can be said about the extremely catchy Italian theme tune ("What's My Destiny Dragon Ball").
** The Japanese 2nd opening for Dragon Ball Z however does use the series name, but it's more of a ThrowItIn and is done, like most music for the series, by Hironobu Kageyama of Music/JAMProject fame.
** "Tsukamou ze! [[Manga/DragonBall DORAGON BOH-RU!]]"
** "Limit Break x Survivor" ends with "''Anime/DragonBallSuper''/Even Zen-Oh Sama will be blown away!"
* The original AnimeThemeSong of ''Anime/TheBigO'' consists mostly of "Big-O!" repeated over and over to an auditory {{Homage}} to Queen's "Flash Gordon", with [[GratuitousEnglish three lines of actual lyric]] ("cast in the name of God, ye not the guilty, we have came to team") in the middle. There's also a line or two of Japanese that borders on ExpositoryThemeTune. (''Swear an eternal oath/to this city that lost all of its past./Light a light in a lonely heart/Dying me with words.'')
** The second tune had less repeating of the name of the show, but was an auditory {{homage}} to ''UFO''
* The first three seasons of the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' dub had a similar theme for all three seasons, changing only a few words. "[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Save the digital]] [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 world]]" became "[[Anime/DigimonTamers Save and defend the world]]", etc.
** While seasons four and five eased up on this trope quite a bit, season five still references the whole title ("Anime/DigimonDataSquad") in its song.
** In addition, Season four's dub theme song is actually called "Spirit Evolution".
*** While not entirely a Title Theme Tune, the "Digirap" that opens the [[Anime/DigimonTheMovie first dub movie]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repeatedly repeats]] the title, most especially the "digi" in the title, making it something of a HurricaneOfPuns using the show's title.
* Every single season of the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise.
** From the English dub of ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'': "Together, we are ''Pretty Cure''!"
** Do and say as you please, no-no problem ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar''!
** Hooray! ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure''! Fresh Pretty Cure!
** La, la, la la la~ Suite, ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''!
** Smile, smile, smile, smile, ''Anime/SmilePrecure''!
*** And from the English dub: Here we go! ''Anime/GlitterForce''! Shining bright, this light so we can find our way!
** Glittering every day, ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure''!
*** ''Anime/GlitterForceDokiDoki!'' Glitter Force, move your body!
** ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' lovely complete, charge!
** Make miracles, and ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''!
** But if I'm with you, then I'll be fine! ''[[Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure]]''!
** Which one? All of them! ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode''!
** To the sparkling future we go, ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure''!
** Sparkle! Kimi to ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''!
** Kimi to ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure''!
** Hand in hand, fight on! Ride the waves, ride on, ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure''!
** It'll become yummy, ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure''!
** Continue to tomorrow, miracles! ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure''!
* [[Franchise/LupinIII Lupin the Thi-ird! Lupin the Thi-ird! Lupin, Lupin, Lupin, Lupin...]]
** Usually, the only words in the theme are the title (Lupin the Third), although there have been a couple of versions [[ForgottenThemeTuneLyrics with lyrics added]].
* [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross Macross, Macross dodedoodedoo MAAAACUUUROSSSS]]
* Almost every show licensed or created by [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]], one exception is the ''[[Manga/TokyoMewMew Mew Mew Power]]'' theme tune.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' & ''F-Zero GP Legend'' have [[InstrumentalThemeTune the instrumental]]. Now why can't you do that for your dubs!?
* The North American Creator/DiC dub gave us: "She is the one named Anime/SailorMoon!" When Cloverway and Pioneer took over the license for the ''S'' and ''[=SuperS=]'' seasons, they licensed the theme from [=DiC=].
* The dub of ''VideoGame/DinosaurKing'': ''Dinosaur King is what you want to be, yeah''. Ironic in that being the "dinosaur king" is actually what the villain wants to be -- the protagonists just want to prevent him from obtaining (and abusing) the dinosaurs.
* The [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong English intro]] to ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' does this.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'''s German opening is an odd example.
* "Here we go! (Go! Go!) ''Anime/GlitterForce''! (Go! Go!)"
* [[Anime/GaoGaiGar GA-GA-GA GA-GA-GA GAOGAIGAR]]
** This is a throwback to 70s or 80s-era giant robot series: ''Anime/MazingerZ, Anime/GreatMazinger, Anime/CombattlerV, Anime/{{Daitarn 3}}, Anime/{{Zambot 3}}, Anime/VoltesV, Anime/{{Godmars}}'', the list goes on.
* "Itooshi Hito No Tame Ni" ends with "... mugen heto, hirake ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''!"
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjuN5Bn-RCo ...whoaaaa]], [[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman! GATCHAMAN!]]
* A few psuedo-OminousLatinChanting tracks on the soundtrack of ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' have lyrics that consist solely of repeating the word "Escaflowne" over and over again.
* ''Anime/SonicX'':
** The American dub's theme:
--->""So-nic's on the run! So-nic's number one! So-nic's coming next, so watch out for Sonic X!"
** Exaggerated in the UK version, whereupon ''the entire song solely consists of only the title''.
* "Maya, Literature/MayaTheBee!"
** The Japanese version also sort of did this with its theme song.
** Predating the former, but coming after the latter, we have this:
--> "And...when...I...asked who she was she told me "Maja"..."[[note]]The South African dub uses the original German spelling of her name.[[/note]]
* Anime/{{Gigantor}}! Gigantor! GIGAAAAAAAAANTORRRRRR!
** "BYUN! to tondeku Tetsujin... NIJUU-HA-CHI GO (28-go)!"
* And of course we CAN'T forget: "Go Anime/SpeedRacer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer GO!"
** "Mahha (Mach) go go, mahha go go, Mahha go go GO!"
* "We're off to outer space! We're leaving Mother Earth! To Save the human race! Our...[[Anime/UchuuSenkanYamato Star...Blazers!]]
** "Saraba Chikyuu yo! Tabidatsu fune wa... [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato Uchuu Senkan... YA-MA-TO!]]"
* "Ken! (Ken!) Survivant de l'enfer! Ken! (Ken!) Souvent croise le fer! Ken! (Ken!) Dans la chaos d'espirit! Ken! (Ken!) Contre les fous les bandits" (from the [[GagDub infamous French dub]] of ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', a.k.a. "''Ken le Survivant''").
* ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold''. True for most version, including the [[http://www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=238 French]], [[http://www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=603 English]] or [[http://www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=1335 Spanish]] ones.
* One cannot ''possibly'' forget [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn27jQAuoWw "Fly! Gundam"]] from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. It even includes such lines as ''"Tobeyo GANDAMU / Kido senshi GANDAMU! GANDAMU!" ("Fly Gundam! / Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!")''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSsvYWa9S30&feature=related This English version]] (effectively a professional fandub) is quite badass, considering the 70's {{camp}}iness of the original.
* Another WesternAnimation trope present in ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''.
* The opening of ''Cardcaptors'', the Nelvana dub of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. Also an ExpositoryThemeTune.
* "Shinryaku! Shinryaku! Shinryaku! Shinryaku! Shinryaku! [[Manga/SquidGirl Shinryaku! Ika Musume]]!"
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAIAXFQ0T74 Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!]]''. The theme for the [[Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular Anime of the same name.]]
* "Oh, ''Anime/{{Superbook}}''! I was afraid to look..."
** "Superbook! Superbook! Superbook! Superbook!"[[note]]Used in the "PC Travel Detectives" part (i.e., the second season).[[/note]]
*** "...y te recibirá con amabilidad y te contará lindas historias. Es el ''Superlibro'', donde encontrarás el ejemplo y la bondad."
** "Come on and go with us, Lord who knows where! It's so fun to fly through time, in our Anime/FlyingHouse!..."
*** "Ton, ton, tondera-ra, tondera-ra, tondera-ra! Ton, ton, tondera-ra, tondera-ra, tondera-ra! ''[[Anime/FlyingHouse Tondera HAUSU no DAIBOUKEN]]''!
* "My favorite place to be. Anime/MapleTown and me!"
** "MEIPURU TAUN, ni o-i-deyo!..."[[note]]The original Japanese version is called "Maple Town Monogatari" (Maple Town Stories).[[/note]]
* "...La La [[Anime/SailorMoonCrystal Pretty...Guardian, Sailor MOOOOOOOOOON!!!]]"
* "Come join the fun, with Anime/TheLittlBits..."
* "Who lives down in deepest, darkest Africa? (Africa!) Who's the one who brought the jungle fame? Who's the king of animals in Africa? Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion is his name..."
** "Kimba...the White Lion, he's the bravest little guy in the land..."
** Inverted by the original Japanese version, which is one of the very rare anime series to use an InstrumentalThemeTune.[[note]]The original Japanese version of Manga/AstroBoy (Tetsuwan Atom) also did this originally, but is generally credited with popularizing vocal theme songs for anime.[[/note]]
* Manga/ShugoChara's first opening theme has a line that goes "Shugo Chara ga tsuiteru yo".
* "Hello! [[Manga/HoneyHoney Honey! Honey!]] Harikiri[[note]]Given the kind of show this is, it's presumably NOT a reference to "that" kind of "harikiri"...[[/note]]Honey!..."
** "Honey Honey! Honey Honey! Beautiful young Honey on the run!..."
* "KISU o...saseTE YO! [[Anime/DreamStarButtonNose BOTAN NOHZU]]..."
** "Hey, little Button Nose! Everybody knows you are the ruler of this fairyland, a berry land where everything's so sweet..."
* "[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Albator]]! Albator! Du fond de la nuit d'or..."
* ''Anime/Ulysses31'':
** "Ulysses! Ulysses! Soaring through all the galaxies, in search of earth, flying into the night. Ulysseeeees! No one else can do the things you do!..."
** As well as the French version: "Ulysse! Ulysse! Au milieu de la galaxie..."
* "[[Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps Heidi]]! (Heidi!) Deine Welt sind die Berge..."[[note]]Both French dubs (which are based on the German version) also do this, but not the original Japanese version or the Spanish or Portuguese dubs (which [[TheSongRemainsTheSame adapt the original Japanese theme songs]]).[[/note]]
* "[[Literature/VickyTheViking Bikke Bikke Bikke Bikke BAI-KIN-GU...]]"[[note]]"Bikke" is the official Japanese romanization of his name.[[/note]]
** "Hey, hey, Wickie! Hey, Wickie, hey!..."[[note]]"Wickie" is the German spelling of his name.[[/note]]
** "Hi ho, Vic! Hi ho, hi ho! Hi ho, Vic! Vikings let's go!..."[[note]]A second theme adapts the German theme mentioned above.[[/note]]
* "Why, she's Alice. [[Anime/AlicesAdventuresInWonderlandJP Alice in Wonderland]]! Alice! Alice in Wonderland! Curious friends, and happy adventures, too!..."
* The English themes for ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'' repeat the title endlessly...
** ... as does the English theme for ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce''. Mega Man cartoons (Japanese or otherwise) apparently live on this trope. This time they were just making trouble for themselves, though. One character, Sonia Strumm (a.k.a. Sonia Sky a.k.a Hibiki Misora), is a pop idol who sings while she fights -- and she often [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage sings the Japanese theme]]. The English version had to substitute a whole new song.
* [[Manga/TensaiBakabon Bon-bon-Bakabon-Bakabon-bon!]]
* Say what?! ([[Manga/BoboboboBobobo Bo-bobo!]]) Say what, say what?! (Bo-bobo!) Say what, say what?! (Bo-bobo!)...[[note]]The song is actually called "Wild Challenger".[[/note]]
* "...Waratte! Waratte! Waratte Candy! Nakibeso nante sayonara, ne? ''Manga/CandyCandy!''"
* "Ready, go! Hashi, go! Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}!"
* "Hayate no you ni! [[Anime/{{Xabungle}} ZABUNGURU! ZABUNGURU!]]"...
** "BURUU GEIRU! Namida wa ratte! BURUU GEIRU! Kirameku chikara!"...[[note]]Although the literal English title of the show is "Combat Mecha Xabungle", it's referred to by some sources (including Sunrise themselves) as "Blue Gale Xabungle".[[/note]]
* "Stand up, stand up, tachiagari yo! VideoGame/{{Inazuma|Eleven}} challenger!!"
** "Stand up, stand up, if you like [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]]! VideoGame/InazumaEleven!"
** "¡Arriba, chuta, la victoria es tuya! ¡VideoGame/{{Inazuma|Eleven}} campeón!"[[note]]The Japanese and (European) Spanish versions both a have more direct example later on.[[/note]]
* ''An, an, an, tottemo daisuki, Manga/{{Doraemon}}!'' ("Ah, ah, ah, I love you very much, Doraemon!")
* ''[[Manga/FightingFoodons FIIIIGHTING FOODONS!]]''
* "''Anime/SugarSugarRune!'' Shoko Shoko Ruu-une!"
* ''"Arittake no yume wo kaki atsume! Sagashi mono sagashi ni yuku no sa! Manga/OnePiece!"''

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/{{Rat Race}}'' has one. As does ''Film/{{ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld}}''.
* "San Francisco", the theme tune composed for 1936 musical ''Film/{{San Francisco|1936}}'', has become an iconic theme tune of the city. ("San Francisco, open your golden gate/Don't make a stranger wait outside your door.")
* ''Night Train to Mundo Fine''. Ironically, the original title of the film is almost forgotten -- instead, the film is almost always called by the title used on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': ''Film/RedZoneCuba''.
* "WhoYouGonnaCall" "Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}!"
* ''Film/MenInBlack'' (also ThemeTuneRap).
* Frequent within the Creator/EonProductions ''Film/JamesBond'' series. Justified in that the title song is created specifically for the movie.
** Fully applies, in chronological order, for ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'', ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'', ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', ''Film/AViewToAKill'', ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', ''Film/LicenceToKill'', ''Film/GoldenEye'', ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' and ''Film/NoTimeToDie''.
** There are only a few exceptions where the film's title couldn't be made into a song without it sounding painfully forced: ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' ("Nobody Does It Better"[[note]]Although, the movie's title is in the song's lyrics[[/note]]), ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'' ("All Time High", the first Bond movie title song where the movie title isn't even mentioned in the lyrics), ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' ("You Know My Name"), ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' ("Another Way To Die"), and ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' ("Writing's On The Wall").
** Also arguably an aversion with ''Film/DrNo'' and ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', which, while they have theme songs with the same names as the respective movies, they're instrumental.
** Strictly speaking, ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' is also instrumental, but Matt Monro did a singing version for the end credits.
** Applies to the non-Eon film ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain''.
* Tends to go along with [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] films, for obvious reasons:
** ''Film/AHardDaysNight''
** ''Film/{{Help}}''
** ''Film/LetItBe'', even more obviously in that the film was a {{documentary}} about the making of the album
*** Note that ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' doesn't apply since the song predated the movie, as did all films based on Beatles songs not involving the band.
* "Film/{{Shaft}}! Can you dig it?"
** ''Damn right!''
* "Remember my name! (''Film/{{Fame}}'')"
* ''Film/{{Koyaanisqatsi}}'', where the theme consists of the movie's title, ominously chanted. It works well in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', where it plays whenever the Janitor gives anyone the DeathGlare.
* As quoted above, satirized by way of LampshadeHanging in the theme to ''Film/SpyHard'', by Music/WeirdAlYankovic:
-->''By the way, if you walked in late
-->Allow me to reiterate
-->The name of this movie is Spy Hard!
-->They call it Spy Hard!
-->You're watching Spy Hard!
-->It's the theme from Spy Haaaaarrrrrd!''
** Speaking of Weird Al:
-->"Don't change that channel! Don't touch that dial! We got it all on '''''Film/{{UHF}}'''''!
* ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'': Both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kagR5WPmmo The Movie]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0csGHvZfyMM its direct-to-video sequel]] adapted the iconic Title Theme Tune of the original cartoon in their AnimatedCreditsOpening.
* ''Literature/BlessTheBeastsAndChildren'': A hit for the Carpenters, a theme for a mediocre FilmOfTheBook.
* ''Film/TheGirlCantHelpIt''. The title song, by Music/LittleRichard, was one of only two original numbers in the movie.
* ''Theatre/BarefootInThePark''
* ''Theatre/TheMoonIsBlue''
* "It's only a Film/PaperMoon..."
** Also a RealSongThemeTune
* "Workin' ''Film/NineToFive'' What a way to make a livin'..."
* "I'm cuttin' it loose! Film/{{Footloose}}! Kick off your Sunday shoes!..."
* ''Film/SwingTime'' is an unusual case: only the first section of "Waltz in Swing Time" has lyrics (which mostly repeat the movie's title), and they are only sung over the opening titles.
* "...written on the pages, is the answer to our [[Film/TheNeverendingStory Neverending Story!]] (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) Neverending Story (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)..."

* "The Learning Tree" plays over the opening credits of ''Film/TheLearningTree'', and mentions the title several times.
* The original ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1961}}'' (i.e., with Hayley Mills) does this.
* "Literature/PippiLongstocking is comin' into your town..."[[note]]From the 1988 movie "The New Adventures Of Pippi Longstocking".[[/note]]
* "''¿Quien es, esa niña?'' [[Music/{{Madonna}} Who's That Girl?]] ''Señorita, mas linda''. Who's that girl?..."
* "[[Music/CarlySimon Doo-doo, doo doo. Doo-doo, doo doo, life is fine]]. Twelve of us in two straight lines, the bravest of all is Film/{{Madeline}}..."[[note]]The actual song is called "In Two Straight Lines".[[/note]]
* Frankie Lane's "3:10 to Yuma" plays at both the beginning and the end of the original ''Film/ThreeTenToYuma1957''.
* Pat Boone, noted master of 1950s cheesefests, sings "Friendly Persuasion" in the 1956 movie ''Film/FriendlyPersuasion''.
* "[[Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes ATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK OF THE KILLER TOMAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES!!!...]]"
* In ''Film/GoingMyWay'', Father O'Malley tries to sell his tune "Going My Way" in order to raise funds for the church. The publisher isn't interested, but when Father O'Malley sings "Swinging on a Star", that one gets sold. In sequel ''Film/TheBellsOfStMarys'', Father O'Malley sings the school's theme song, "The Bells of St. Mary's".
* "If you wanted the sky, I would write across the sky in letters, that would soar a thousand feet high: Film/ToSirWithLove..."
* "...'cause what you've got is what we need, [[CardCarryingVillain and what we do]] [[VillainSong are dirty deeds]] / We're the [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} SPACEBALLS]]!!"[[note]]Watch out![[/note]]
* "Film/StrokerAce was born to race / he had a mean-streak two feet wide[[note]][[TheAce A son-of-a-gun]] [[ReallyGetsAround with a taste for fun]] / [[HonorBeforeReason and more than his share of pride]][[/note]]..." A CountryRap ballad written by the Charlie Daniels Band that subverts the format by mentioning his name once, maybe twice total.
* ''Film/AThousandClowns'': The song "A Thousand Clowns" was co-written by Oscar-winning actress Judy Holliday, in what was her last film credit, as Holliday died of cancer before the movie was released.
* "Let's go! ''American Flyers''..."
* [[Film/OldYeller Here, Yeller]] / [[DownerEnding Come back, Yeller]] / [[TearJerker Best doggone dog in the west]]
* Film/TheGoonies 'R' Good Enough is only an example because the film's name had been forcibly added to the name of the song. Aside from a TitleScream during an instrumental part, the Goonies name otherwise doesn't appear in the song's lyrics.
* "Film/{{Barbarella}}, psychadela, there's a kind of cockle-shell about you..." This plays over the opening credits and Barbarella also hums it at certain points.
* "There once was a ''[[Film/TheChristmasThatAlmostWasnt Christmas that almost wasn't]]'', almost wasn't, al-most wa-sn't! There once was a Christmas that almost wasn't, [[ExpositoryThemeTune because of]] [[BigBad a man]] [[ChildHater named]] [[DastardlyWhiplash Prune]]..."
* "Everybody's running when the circus comes into their towns...everybody's gunning for the likes of the [[Film/KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace Killer Klowns from outer space...]]" (This particular theme tune was written from the title alone, so it seems more fitting it'd be included as the most frequent lyric.)
%%* "Film/{{MORTAL KOMBAT|TheMovie}}!!!" (The actual name of the theme song is "Techno Syndrome")
* ''Film/NorthToAlaska'', with theme song provided by Music/JohnnyHorton.
* ''Film/TheGhostGoesGear'' has one over the opening credits.
--> The ghost goes gear\\
The ghost goes gear, the crazy spook\\
The ghost goes gear\\
If you don't like ghosts, don't look!
* ''Film/CallMeBwana'' has the song sung by Creator/BobHope during the end credits.
* In ''Film/AgainstACrookedSky'', a song that begins "An arrow flies against a crooked sky..." plays over a montage of the year after Charlotte's kidnapping, as well as the end credits.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* The Music/BackstreetBoys hit ''Everybody (Backstreet's Back)''.
* Parodied in Music/TomLehrer's "Oedipus Rex" (from ''Music/AnEveningWastedWithTomLehrer''). In his spoken-word introduction, he explains that he feels the 1957 film version of Creator/{{Sophocles}}' ''[[Theatre/OedipusTheKing Oedipus Rex]]'' did not fare well with audiences because it "did not have a title tune which the people could ''hum'', and which would actually make them eager to attend this particular flick". He then attempts to "supply this need" with a "prospective title song".
* ''Hey Hey, we're Music/TheMonkees... and people say we monkey around..." (already mentioned under Live Action TV Shows, but the band made a full-length cut on an album of the theme.)
* "We're ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'', we hope you will enjoy the show..." (Music/TheBeatles)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pinballs]]
* ''Pinball/BlackKnight 2000'' is one of the very very few pinball machines to do this:
-->''You got the power! ([[EvilLaugh Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!]])\\
You got the might! (No way!)\\
Get ready for battle! (Give me your money!)\\
Beat the Black Knight! (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!)...''
* "[[Pinball/MonsterBash MON-STER BAAAAAAAAAAASH!]] (YOU GOTTA GET IT WHILE YOU CAAAAAAAAAAAN!)..."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Some ring entrance themes do this:
** "I've got long sideburns, and my hair's slicked back / I'm coming to your town in my pink cadillac / I'm just a Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan (He's a Honky Tonk Man!) I'm just a Honky Tonk Man (He's a Honky Tonk Man!) I'm just a Honky Tonk Man, I'm cool! I'm cocky! I'm bad!..."
** "...You'll serve hard time! You'll be serving hard time! / You know the Wrestling/BigBossMan will make you walk the line! You better watch out boy, or you'll be serving hard time!..."
** "Step into the town and break the walls down! / Your heartbeat is the only sound! / Step into the night and then you know / You were stopped and dropped on the Walls of [[Wrestling/ChrisJericho Jericho]]!..."
** "Well... Well it's the Wrestling/BigShow! Yes, it's the big man show tonight!..."
** "Wrestling/{{Test}}, this is a Test, Test / Test, This is a Test..."
** "Everybody's got a price / Everybody's gonna pay / 'Cause [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase The Million Dollar Man]] / Always gets his way!"
** "It's all about [[Wrestling/TripleH The Game]] and how you play it / All about control and if you can take it / All about your debt and if you can pay it / It's all about pain and who's gonna make it!" or "The King left none living, none able to tell / The King took their heads and he sent them to hell / Their screams echoed loud in the place of their death / Ripped open they died with their final breath / They hailed to the King, The King of Kings."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* "''Series/BananasInPyjamas'' are coming down the stairs..."
* "Let's go everyone, we're gonna go down / To a dookie little place called-- ''Series/{{Bunnytown}}''!"
* Another French example for another Japanese series: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiScuDJPR2g Bomber X]]'' (a.k.a. ''Series/StarFleet'' by Creator/GoNagai).
* "...we'll all be doubled over with laughter / At the expense of others, maybe even your mother! / Won't you join the ''Series/CrankYankers'' tonight? Crank Yankers!"
* "There's lots of things we like to do / ''Curious Buddies''! / Do-bee-do-bee-do..."
* "Dance your cares away / Worries for another day / Let the music play / Down in Series/FraggleRock!"
* Almost all of Gerry Anderson's {{UsefulNotes/Supermarionation}} series of the 1960s have these.
** "Series/{{Supercar}}! Suuupercaaaar!!! With beauty and grace, as swift as can be, watch it flying through the air! It travels in space or under the sea, and it can journey anywhere! Supercar! Suuupercaaaar!!!..."
** "I wish I was a spaceman / The fastest guy alive / I'd fly you 'round the universe / In ''Series/FireballXL5''..."
** "''[[Series/{{Stingray 1964}} Stingraaaaaay]]'', Stingray! ''Stingraaaaaay'', Stingray!"
** The most notable aversion is ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'', though narrowly: a closing theme with lyrics ''was'' composed for it, and it ''did'' repeat the title numerous times throughout.
-->"Then you'll see '''Thuuuuunder-BIRDS!''' Flying way up hiiiiiigh! '''Thuuuuunder-BIRDS!''' Roaring through the skyyyyyy!"
** ''Series/CaptainScarletAndTheMysterons'': There were two versions, one with a full set of lyrics and another whose lyric was nearly only "Captain Scarlet" endlessly repeated[[note]]"''Indestructible'' Captain Scarlet was the final line[[/note]].
* "''WesternAnimation/ElliotMoose'', is on the loose!"
* ''Series/TheGreatSpaceCoaster''
* Older viewers might remember: "It's Series/HowdyDoody time!" They might easily have forgotten the song's other lines.
* ''Series/ItsABigBigWorld'', don't you agree? Big enough for you and me!
* "So, come on, everybody, / let's get up and go. / It's time to get started / It's ''Series/JacksBigMusicShow''!"
* "I was just Johnny till I walked through that door, but I'm not just Johnny anymore! I'm ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites''! Did you see one? ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites''! Could you be one? ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites''!"
* "Hey, it's ''Series/LambChopsPlayAlong'', where kids come to play-along, and fun things are all we ever do!"

* "All God's creatures, fresh off the grill. So come on down to ''Series/MrMeaty'' where friends meet to eat-meat!"
* "It's time to play the music / It's time to light the lights / It's time to meet the Muppets / On ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' tonight."
* "Here come the Muppets! Here come the Muppets! Here come the Series/MuppetsTonight!"
* "Welcome to our place, we've been waiting. Time for some fun and celebrating! Something is always ready to POP! Here at ''Series/TheNoddyShop''!"
* "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Series/SesameStreet?" (They never ''did'' tell us...)
** "...Vamos todos encontrar donde hay gran felicidad, el fantástico lugar, ¡''Plaza Sésamo''! (¿Como?) ¡Plaza Sésamo! (¡Muy bien!)..."
** "Somebody come and play / Somebody come and play today / Somebody come and join the fun / There's lots of room for everyone / Somebody come and play... today... / ''Series/PlayWithMeSesame''!"

* "Im a tot! [[GratuitousFrench Je suis une tot!]][[note]][[GratuitousSpanish "¡Soy una tot!"]] in the North American version.[[/note]] [[ThemeTuneRollCall Tilly, Tom, and Tiny]]! We're the tots of Series/TotsTV! One, two, three, boo!..."
* "[[Series/{{Boohbah}} BOOH...BAH!!]]"
* "Series/{{Pinwheel}}, Pinwheel, spinning around. Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found..."
* "Eureeka! ('Who, me?' 'No, you! Don't you see?') Series/EureekasCastle..."
* "Come on everybody, let's all have fun with Series/{{Wilbur}}!"
* "''Series/ThePuzzlePlace''! The Puzzle Place! We're going to The Puzzle Place!"
* "''Bookmice''! Bookmice! They live inside the library; Bookmice!..."
* "Welcome to you, and how do you do? Everybody's waiting here at Pooh Corner. Waiting for you, and Literature/WinnieThePooh, to have a happy hooky-pooh time!..."[[note]]This is the theme to "Welcome to Pooh Corner", one of the very first series the Creator/DisneyChannel ever aired.[[/note]]
* "...''Dumbo's Circus'', Dumbo's Circus is coming to visit, you won't want to miss it, coming to visit you!"
* Another example is the Canadian series ''Series/UnderTheUmbrellaTree'', which aired on the Creator/DisneyChannel in the U.S..
* "Cause we're laughing and we're learning. We're singing a song. If you learn to trust your feelings, you'll never go wrong, and you know that you will always belong, at ''Series/WimziesHouse''."

* "You know who ''Series/TheHoobs'' are... Iver! Groove! And Tula!"
* Both the European version (1986-1995) and short lived American version (1987-1989) of ''The D.J. Kat Show'' did this with a ThemeTuneRap. This is the European version:
-->"This is The D.J. Kat Show, and I am D.J. Kat...that's my name! That's a D and a J and a Kat with a K! Okay? Yeah!"
** The American version is similar, but goes:
-->"This is The D.J. Kat Show, and I am D.J. Kat! With a D and a J and a Kat with a K, so you better stick around, okay?! (D.J., Kat!) And this is MY show!"[[note]]The announcer would then do a different opening narration for each episode concluding with "It's The D.J. Kat Show!", after which he would do a different introduction each episode for D.J.'s assistant "Elizabeth!" (or in the second season, "Jennifer Davis!").[[/note]]
* "Time to get those wheels a-rollin'! [[Series/TheBigGarage Big, Big, Big Garage]]! Time to get those horns a-blowin'! Big, Big, Big Garage!"
* "Sing a song, eat a snack, and take a nap / So much we're gonna wanna do today in Littleburg / ''Whoopi's Littleburg''!"
* ''Series/TheWubbulousWorldOfDrSeuss'' has these:
** ''Season one'': "Tighten up, get loose. In the Wubbulous World, in ''The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss''. Yeah!"
** ''Season two'': "Come on along, we're waiting for you! (Come on!) This is the song to welcome you to ''[[Series/TheWubbulousWorldOfDrSeuss The Wubbulous World... of Dr. Seuss!]]''"
* "Téléfrançais, Téléfrançais, ''Series/{{Telefrancais}}''"
* "Here comes ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' (Hee-haw!) Donkey Hodie! She loves adventure, she loves surprise. When there's a problem, she tries and tries!"
* Monkey, Monkey, Monkey, Monkey, Series/MilkshakeMonkey!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Radio]]
* The later years of ''Radio/LandOfTheLost1943'' saw its once-instrumental opening theme being given lyrics, likely as a result of ExecutiveMeddling:
--> [[TitleDrop Land Of The Lost]]
--> A kingdom fair as a dream
--> It lies under the sea
--> Mysteriously
--> Shining with ripples that glimmer and gleam
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Theater]]
* Though title songs of musicals aren't usually played this way, the prelude to ''Theatre/OnAClearDayYouCanSeeForever'' features the title song sung by an offstage chorus.
* Another exception (at least in the movie) is:
-->"Little Shop! Theater/LittleShopOfHorrors! Little Shop! Little shop of terror! Little Shop! Little Shop of Horrors! No! No-no, no!"
* The opening and closing themes of ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' could be considered this too.
-->"No one mourns the wicked, wicked, wicked!"
* --> "We want you to join in our fun, before the day is done.. "Theatre/{{StarlandKrew}}, YEAH!"
* "Well, Well, ''Theatre/HelloDolly'' Well Hello Dolly! It's So Nice to have you back where you belong!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The best of the best still die like the rest.. VideoGame/IExpectYouToDie!
* The only legible words in the opening theme for ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' are the game's title. Other versions of the theme within the game have actual lyrics.
** Including the one that plays when you start a new game: [[GratuitousEnglish DON'T WORRY, DO YOUR BEST!]]
* ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes! Sonic Heroes! Fide you, confide you, defying your reign!'' The game's title is also [[TitleDrop used rather ridiculously throughout the game]]: "Why can't I defeat you?" "Because we're Sonic Heroes!"
* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64''. "[[ThemeTuneRap D.K! Donkey Kong is here!]]"
** To be fair the ''exact'' title appears nowhere in that song. It's more about the character(s) and less about the game.
* ''Petville'' (YEAH!) Doodle-dee-doo doo-doo ''Petville'' (WHEE!)
* As a pastiche of ''Film/JamesBond'' movies' tendencies to have title theme tunes, as noted above, ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' has a subtitle theme tune "Snake Eater".
* Almost every theme song of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' {{Boisterous Bruiser}}s involves this. Especially ''"Ware Koso Waaa... Ware Koso Waaa... '''BARAN DOBAN!'''"''. Also Rand Travis' theme "Land Crasher" ''"Gun, Gunleon, Gunleon! Gun, Gunleon, Gunleon! Gun, Gunleon, Gunleon! Land Crasher..."''. Yes, both are {{Boisterous Bruiser}}s.
* ''[[Advertising/SegataSanshiro Segata Sanshiro! Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!!]]''
* ''(VideoGame/BurningRangers!) To the brand new sky we dive. (Burning Rangers!) Dreams we have are shining bright!(Burning Rangers!) Aquamarine colored skies. Fly high with grace and pride...'' The actual name of the song however is "Burning Hearts" (also known as "Angels With Burning Hearts").
* ''VideoGame/NightTrap'' has this. The characters lipsync to it at one point.
* "Cruisin', yeah yeahhhh, ''Cruis'n USA''"!
** And the sequel: "Cruisiiinnn'... cruisin' the wooooorrrrrlllld!!!" Though if you want to get technical, the game was called ''Cruis'n World'', with no "the".
* "He is a...[[VideoGame/{{Gex}} GEX!]]"[[note]]Also another ThemeTuneRap example. This was used for the end credits.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}'': "PEPSI-MAAAAAAN!" It begins before the title appears, and variations on it make up most of the game's soundtrack, which contains no other lyrics.
* There are two {{Ur Example}}s, one for home systems, and one for arcade games:
** While ''Alternate Reality: The City'' doesn't have any vocals (because of technology limitations), the lyrics appear as the game "sings" each word.
** ''VideoGame/PsychoSoldier'' on the other hand, was the first arcade game (and probably the first video game period) to have a vocal theme song ("Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier! Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier!").
* The original ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' is an example (along with its spinoffs), but the full title is only sung in the full-length version (only the "Memorial" part is heard in the "TV size" version that's played in-game).
* "[[VideoGame/ClayFighter Clay Fighter!]] Clay, Clay Fighter! Come on, fight them if you dare! Clay Fighter! Clay, Clay Fighter! Hit'em, smack'em, they don't care!"[[note]]This was on the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super NES]], where theme songs with actual, sung lyrics were unheard of. Although, unlike ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'''s AnimeThemeSong, this game's theme [[SingleStanzaSong consists only of a single chorus]].[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' is another example of a title theme tune where the title doesn't appear in the actual lyrics.[[note]]It's also the only song to appear in every game in the franchise.[[/note]]
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey''. Although it plays in the E3 2017 trailer, and although there's a shortened instrumental version in the title screen that plays on a loop, it's actually an InsertSong in-game.
-->"...I'm flipping the switch! Get ready for this! Oh-oh! Let's do the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Odyssey]]!"
* "Well, ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' and his pal Mugman / They like to roll the dice / [[ExpositoryThemeTune By chance they came 'pon devil's game]] / And gosh, they paid the price...[[note]]Paid the priiiiiiiiiice![[/note]]"
* "All you gotta do, all you gotta do is, all you gotta do is [[VideoGame/JustDance just dance]]..."
** "If you wanna party, then you can just dance! Just dance! Gotta move your body, so you can just dance! Just dance!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' has a theme with a chorus including five lines. The even-numbered lines proclaim the show's subtitle, and the fifth gives a full TitleDrop.
** "Dreamtopia (where adventure never stops)! Dreamtopia (it's just a sprinkle sparkle hop)! Dreamtopia-a-a! (It's just a dream away!)"
* ''VideoGame/{{Bravoman}}'', ''Bravoman''! Battling crime whenever he can! Who do you call when it hits the fan? You gotta call ''Bravoman''!
* ''WebAnimation/{{GoodbyeKitty}}'', Goodbye Kitty! Goodbye Kitty! Oh, whoa, whoa. Oh- (zap) Goodbye Kitty!
* "'Cause you're Royal and Rebel, you're more than one together, however you go Ever in ''Toys/EverAfterHigh''!"
* "WebAnimation/{{Mi Perro Chocolo}}, Y sus amigos estan aqui"
* "Yeah, life gets crazy here at ''Toys/MermaidHigh''! Mermaid, Mermaid High!"
* "''Toys/MonsterHigh'', the party never dies!"
* "Glowin', slayin', fashion, frame it! ''[[Toys/RainbowHigh RAINBOW HIGH!]]''"
* ''WebAnimation/SuctionCupMan is comin' round, my sucking powers have no bounds!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* The ''Webcomic/M9Girls'' main theme, featured in pivotal pages [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/here-come-the-m9-girls/ like this]], is an electronic arrangment with anime vibes, which mentions the comic's title in a synthesized voice.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* "Welcome to WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall, where bad comics burn!"
* WebVideo/NatOneProductions has ''Obleeq'', the silly, slapstick, fantasy story. Every episode begins with [[CloudCuckoolander Jon]] (sometimes joined by the rest of the cast) singing "Oooobleeq! Doo doo dooooo...doodoodoo."
* "He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard. He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd. He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd. He's the ''WebVideo/AngryVideoGameNerd''.
** Also in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omW1E7rv7IM&t=9m9s this]] episode of ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd,'' a theme has this; this song is about "shitty" games for Spider-Man and how it sucks his "spider-balls." The song also has James' song, called the Angry Nerd.
* ''[[WebAnimation/TacoMan Taco-Man Plays A Video Game]]'' has its own theme song, which boasts a double-digit number of title drops, and spoofs the theme of ''WesternAnimation/SaturdaySupercade''. Eventually, it became an end credits song instead.
* Parodied by [[Website/{{Uncyclopedia}} The Other Other Wiki]] with their own rendition of the ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' ThemeTuneRap, which was recently removed from their article on the show. Reproduced here for your convenience:
-->Samurai Jack? Samurai Jack? Who Jacked Jack?\\
Look out!\\
Samurai Jack? Samurai Jack? Jack Jacked Jack?\\
Jackity jack, jack jack jack, jackity jackity! Jacky jacky Jack!\\
Jackity jack, jackity jack, jacky jack jack!!\\

JACK JACK!!!\\
JAAAACK!!\\
[[VideoGame/MetalGear Jack? Can you hear me? JACK?!]] ''[[VideoGame/MetalGear JAAAAAAACK?!]]''
* ''WebVideo/ReelGeekGirls'' has a brief theme tune that plays over the intro. It consists of the title being said several times in rapid succession.
* ''Website/HectorsWorld'': The theme tune says the phrase "Hector's world" three times.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other]]
* ''Teen Steam'', a workout video from 1988 starring Alyssa Milano[[note]]She was starring in ''Series/WhosTheBoss'' at the time.[[/note]] is a rare example of a workout video doing this:
-->Steam, Teen Steam! Gotta let it out!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Instrumental Themes]]
Not all that common, but there are instrumental themes in which the title of the television show or film is a perfect fit metrically and could, if one wished, be sung along to the instrumental theme. The metric fit often occurs in the opening bars of the instrumental theme.
----
* ''Series/{{Bonanza}}''
** Dun-da-dah-dun/ Dun-da-dah-dun/ Bo-nan-zaaaah! . .
* ''[[Series/TheFallAndRiseOfReginaldPerrin The Fall....and. Rise! Of Reg-in-ald Per-rin]]''
* ''Series/HawaiiFive0''
** Ha-wai-ee Five-Oh/ Dah-dah-dah-dah-daaah/ Ha-wai-ee Five-0h/ Dah-dah-dah-dah-daaah. . .
* ''Series/HillStreetBlues''
** Hill Street Blues/ Hill Street Blues/ Da-da-da-da-da-dah/ Hill Street Blues . . . .
* ''Franchise/MissionImpossible'' Not exactly the same as the other examples, but the opening beats of the Mission Impossible theme song correspond to the Morse Code letters M and I if you give if a dot the value of one beat and a dash the value of one-and-a-half beats
* ''Series/MyThreeSons''
** It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ . . . repeated until madness sets in.
* ''Series/SomeMothersDoAveEm'' adds a GeniusBonus: the instrumental theme is played on a solo piccolo. Not only does one phrase echo the series title ''Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em'', but to anyone familiar with morse code - the staccato piccolo playing spells out the name of the show. In morse code.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme as sung by Creator/BillMurray in a Series/SaturdayNightLive skit about a third-rate ski-resort lounge singer:
** Star Wars!/ Give me those Star Wars!/ Nothing but Star Wars/ Don't let them end. . . .
