20 May 04 - 12:33 AM (#1189251) Subject: Lyr Req: Non-U.S. TV theme song lyrics needed From: Blackcatter Hello all, I asked this a couple years back inside a thread, but what the heck - I'll make it a thread on its own. I host a website: Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Song Lyrics It has the lyrics and voice-overs to over 750 TV shows worldwide. Now the request: I'm looking for any TV theme lyrics, of course, but since I'm in the U.S., I've pretty much got the American ones. But I'm still looking for more from around the world. And not just English language ones either. If you know of themes in French, or Hebrew or Chinese, I'd like those too, especially if you can provide a half-decent English translation. Voice-over introductions count too (ala A-Team and Dragnet). So please help - check out the site to see if I already have it, but give me whatever you can - including corrections and feedback. Thanks in advance! (by the way, 20% of my traffic is already international - but so is U.S. TV, so I guess that makes sense.) Blackcatter |

Everyone that he meets Calls him "King of Kensington" ("How ya doin', King?" "Put `er there, King!" "Hey Karen! It's King!") He finds his fortune in the faces that surround him His wife says helping other people brings him luck But then his mother tells a slightly different story He's the only king around without a buck He's... a... man among men The people's champion And when destiny calls him... (buzz... buzz... "I'm sorry, that line is STILL busy") He's "King of Kensington" ("Whatta guy!") |

I regularly perform TV themes on stage - Robin Hood is great, and I surprise people with the lyrics to I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy and Bewitched. Gonna sing the Odd Couple next Tuesday in memoriam of Tony Randall. Everyone sigs along to Gilligan's Island, then I do the original theme from the pilot episode and everyone is stunned. |

23 May 04 - 04:09 PM (#1192141) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Non-U.S. TV theme song lyrics needed From: Cluin We throw a couple of verses of "Gilligan's Island" into the middle of "Drunken Sailor". The punters go nuts for both, whereas we're just sick of both of `em. Gots to please the customers, though. |
