Just try reading this list of shows without getting a few of their songs stuck in your head.

No “Barney Miller”? How can the theme to “Barney Miller” not be included?

Depressing song, especially depressing name and lyrics, to the point of agenda pushing. “Suicide Is Painless.”

The themes from “Taxi” and “WKRP IN Cincinnati” should have been included.

Bonanza, Rawhide, 77 Sunset Strip (kookie,Kookie, lend me your comb).
You are probably all too young to remember any of these.
