* ''[[Series/ArseneLupin1971 Arsène Lupin]]'' (1971-1974): The EndingTheme by Jacques Dutronc, "Gentleman Cambrioleur", essentially describes what the eponymous character does (i.e. being a GentlemanThief and TheCharmer).
* ''[[Series/ArseneLupin1989 The New Exploits of Arsène Lupin]]'' (1995-1996): The theme tune for this one is short, but enough to mention the character's first name and his GentlemanThief activity.

** After the death of Creator/DandyNichols, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim and therefore of Elsa]], the second season theme changed to be Alf mourning her, and complaining that his pension's been cut, concluding "For richer or poorer, I'm bloody poorer, that's a fact. That's 'cos in sickness and in health I said 'I do'" with Creator/WarrenMitchell shouting the "bloody poorer" line over the Chas 'n' Dave rendition.

* Viciously parodied on ''Series/{{Ellen}}''. The setup: A season 3 running gag had Ellen apologizing at the start of the episode for not having the theme song ready yet or doing various bits as if filling time where the opening titles should be, then holding up a sign board with the shoe's logo. After a whole season of that, for episode 24 ("When the Vow Breaks (Part 1)") we get an excited Ellen announcing the theme was finally ready:

No, [[InsistentTerminology it’s a gap year]], enrich our minds, maybe catch a play\\
“It really does sound like it’s a holiday.”\\
No, cause we’re gonna see the USA in an educational way\\

* The TV adaptation of ''Literature/AdrianMole'' had "Profoundly in Love With Pandora" by [[Music/IanDuryAndTheBlockheads Ian Dury]]:
-->My mother's heart and soul,\\
Have gone halfway up the pole.\\
My father's on the dole,\\
This is taking its toll.\\
My friend Bert is much too old,\\
And his dog's beyond control.\\
Though it sometimes seems they're droll,\\
It's a nuisance on the whole.\\
\\
I'm profoundly in love with Pandora,\\
My poem has an intellectual theme.\\
The tenderness with which I adore her,\\
Goes all bouncy in my dreams.
