The trick is to keep asking until you find a creative artist who is either related to you by blood, or susceptible to flattery.
Hmm.
You know, my dad is a pretty damned fine banjo player.... and I seem to recall Em knows a couple of musicians. ;-)

I'm so very not a fan of TV themes with words. Raise your hand if you were scarred for life by the Brady Bunch, Three's Company, and Enterprise.

She *is* a musician. Hm. "Flora, the Lily of the West" as episode music at some point?
Gilligan's Island!
My friend Liz enjoys the ferry trip over to visit me even more when the weather's rough. Especially if there are youngsters to amuse by starting them singing that... (I don't think I ever saw the show, but I still know the theme. Some things are... inescapable.) |

I think I heard that somewhere....
(NB: ;-) is an indicator I use to kind of signpost my wry irony or strategic understatement.)

Oh! So Shadow Unit is a comedy, then! Sorry, that never even occurred to me... |

It's true that comedies hold up better under themesongs with words. But I love the themesongs for The O.C. and Veronica Mars--the latter, especially, where I think the lyrics are a great connection to the first-season story themes.
Also, since we're doing television without so much of the, you know, pictures, we need a few thousand extra words. *g*

"Waking the Lurker"--next week on Shadow Unit!
Maybe heretical banjo players tune them like lutes and then play AC/DC songs.
