Here you go! The list of 100 greatest TV theme songs. I watched almost all of these shows growing up and some I will still watch. Many I remember all the words to and can still sing or whistle to this day! Although I never watched it much, my kids did, The SpongeBob Squarepants show. I've heard it so much I almost know all the words to that as well. These shows have been a big part of our lives I miss some of them but have outgrown most.
