Mr & Mrs Paycheck's "Best Show Theme" ...

[CSW]

Plus the old one had the outdated lyric referencing the showtime.

This needs fixing on the Best Show Gems podcast intro.......

Also: New theme rules.

[ChipSuey]

When I heard it the first time, I backed it up to hear it again.  Because it's that good.  No slight on the old one, at all.  But this isn't some New Coke or Crystal Pepsi situation, where they ruined something that was perfectly fine.

It's turned into my second favorite theme song, after SCTV.  Which has been my favorite theme song since I was a child.  It's hard to push out sense memories like that.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

I thought maybe saying this would mean nothing because I usually become obsessed with EVERY theme song to the shows  watch, whether they are good or bad. But I considered that I have probably heard this theme and other Best Show themes over 300 times each and continue to love it and thrill to the sound of it and what it means is coming. Talk about some strong pieces of music!

plus it's just new we'll al get used to it. i remember the transition being jarring when they updated the fanfare at the beginning of the show. now i can't think of it ever being different

I always get a little kick out of hearing "Tom Scharpling's givin' birth to smiles."  It's such a goofy line, it might almost be cringeworthy from a different singer, but Mr. Paycheque sings it with such passion and conviction.

(If history is any guide, someone will now tell me that I've been mishearing the lyric for years and that's not what he says at all.)

that line is so good because its a totally obscure reference to something one the best show myspace page it's one of those esoteric best show references that excites me so much then makes me feel like a total psycho for getting it.

The new theme pulled out my still-beating heart and showed it to me.

Does anyone have an answer to my question? I don't have all goddamn day, people.

You're not familiar with "The Cowsills"?

I always thought it was "Tom Scharpling's giving mirth a smile." I like yours better.

I always thought it was "Tom Scharpling's giving Burt's the smiles."  He's making Burt Reynolds smile.

Thank you! I've been sitting here refreshing this page for the last 24 hours and it was starting to get old.

A serious question: does the Paycheque family perform under another name? Because I want more of their music.

Does anyone have an answer to my question? I don't have all goddamn day, people.

 Apparently you did have all day, you potty mouth.

OK, OK. I lied. I had my intern doing it.

As stated above, check out the Fortunate Sons for a more of Mr.Paycheque's tuneage? And Mrs.PC has quite a few musical projects as well. I'm just so stoked I got to do backups on the new one!!
