Mego Soundtrack? Who's Top of the Charts?

[megoscott]

I don't know if this has been done before, but The Greatest American Hero theme popped into my head today and now it won't go away. I was struck by how many great theme songs are represented in the Mego line up.

In no particular order:

Love Boat Theme--Pure 70's Pop Cheese
Just the Good Ol Boys--Dukes of Hazzard
Happy Days Theme--Pretty great...
Believe It or Not I'm Walking on Air--GAH
Over the Rainbow--Wizard of OZ
Batman TV Theme---Does that count?
Superman movie theme--Does that count since they weren't officially Movie toys?
Star Trek TV theme--'Natch
Chips theme---kinda hard to sing...you really need a synthesizer
Laverne and Shirley--Classic themesong
The Waltons---I can still recall that banjo theme song or whatever the heck it was
Sonny and Cher?---Figure "I got You Babe", but maybe "Cherokee" fit with the dressing room...
KISS?---What would the theme song be there?
Does Convoy count for CB McHaul? I love that song.

What am I missing?
It makes me wish they'd done Welcome Back Kotter....


My top 5:
1. Greatest American Hero
2. Over the Rainbow
3. Good ol Boys--Dukes
4. Star Trek
5. Love Boat

the song by Cher is called HALFBREED not Cherokee, man i'm so ashamed that i know that

[toys2cool]

how about the theme from 3's company? not sure it counts but they did have a Suzanne Summers doll

[cjefferys]

Don't forget the Wonder Woman TV theme song, there's a classic!

Edit: Oops, Mike already mentioned it.

and if Kiss would have I guess it would be-Rock n Roll all night

I'm completely sick of that song but I would have to agree, it's the one song they are most known for and always ended their concerts.


And against my better judgement, I should mention "Love Will Keep Us Together", represented by the Captain and Tenille dolls.

[megoscott]

I'm still not sure Batman counts since none of the Batman toys were direct TV tie-ins, but we all did associate them with it...so of course it counts...

Wonder Woman! How could I forget?

[jwyblejr]

What about the theme from Buck Rogers?

[The Sentry]

Man my bassplayer got a tv show theme CD and I was like man, there are like 10 songs on here that have Mego figure lines to it!

Mine would be TGAH theme "Believe it or not! IIIIIIIII'm walking on aiiiiiiiiir, I'd never thought I would feeeeeeeeel so freeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeee heeeeeeee!" I absolutely love that song!
What a great show too!


Oh and don't forget the Love Boat! LOL!

[ABMAC]

Starsky & Hutch (especially the second season) and Planet of the Apes.

[DocDrako]

Oddly enough, at one time I had a folder of MP3s on my computer called "Mego Music" which included theme songs directly related to Mego product and few indirectly related.

My List was:

The Love Boat theme
Detroit Rock City - for KISS obviously
The Greatest American Hero theme
Buck Rogers theme
Wonder Woman theme
Batman 60's tv theme
Space: 1999 theme
Dukes of Hazzard theme
Secret Agent Man - for Action Jackson
Superman The Movie theme
Flash Gordon theme by Queen
Happy Days theme
Star Trek tv theme
The Waltons theme
Wizard of Oz theme & Over The Rainbow
Planet Of The Apes movie theme
Spider-Man theme from 1966
CHiPs theme
Dallas theme - even though the figures weren't really sold
Logan's Run movie theme
The Little Rascals (Our Gang) theme
Starsky & Hutch theme
Dr Who theme
Love Will Keep Us Together - C&T obviously

I totally forgot about Cher and The Flintstones. Any others I missed? Fun thread. I'd say my favorite on the list is The Greatest American Hero as well. But alot of them are good.

[megocrazy]

Sorry the top of the list would have to be "Night after Night" by ..... Lenny and the Squigtones from Laverne and Shirley. If I can find the exact lyrics I'll post em. if you can find a download of it listen to it cuz it was really funny.

[palitoy]

Logan's Run TV Theme (pew! pew! pew!)
POTA series theme
Action Jackson song
That music from the Starsky and Hutch Commercial
Superfriends theme (or Spider-Man song) both were used during playtime.

[Sideshow Spock]
