we'll take the sound of nails on a
chalkboard over
[Music]
these welcome to watch moto.com and
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 most annoying TV show theme
songs for this list we're looking at the
most irritating offensively aggravating
television theme songs that may or may
not have made you want to throw your TV
out the window at one point or
[Music]
another number 10 Hammerman whenever
there's a crime some CRS are going to do
time they all better be cuz the
Hammerman will be there the more
confident Among Us can openly admit to
loving MC Hammer's One Hit Wonder song
you can't touch this you can't touch
this why you steing there man you can't
touch this it was a great time fun was
had but for most fans that was the end
of the love affair with hammer and his
parachute pants somehow though he landed
this children's show which saw a cartoon
superhero version of him solving crimes
with a pair of magical dancing shoes
stop hel the theme song performed by
Hammer himself is as ridiculous as the
show's Concept in a far too long rap
Hammer tells the story of Hammerman and
the Magical shoes he shoes from hipop
dude the rap is jumbled completely lacks
Rhythm and unsurprisingly isn't exactly
lyrically compelling don't worry Hammer
no one will touch
this
ham
ham H H H yeah number nine scaredy SC
[Music]
there has to be some parent out there
who's had a breakdown from hearing this
theme song one too many times which is
to say they've heard it exactly
[Music]
once the theme song to this cartoon
about a hyperactive squirrel and his
skunk buddy getting into crazy
situations down at the supermarket where
they work is overly offensive to oddly
enough jazz
tonally the song doesn't speak Jazz
rather it sticks to the classic upbeat
overload of sound structure that many
children's shows select when the
squirrel attempts to sing Jazz he coughs
out nonsensical words in what we assume
is an attempt to scat it's a failure and
we're left listening to high-pitched
dribble this show is best newed with
sugarfree treats number eight Star Trek
Enterprise been a
long time is
fin The Producers behind Enterprise
wanted a Star Trek like none that came
before and unfortunately they got it
veering far from other Star Trek
iterations Enterprise chose to ditch the
orchestral format for its theme song and
instead it went with faith of the Heart
by Russell
[Music]
Watson the song is fine enough for an
adult contemporary grocery store
soundtrack but not for Star Trek it's
slow deep and most of all not very Trek
a franchise about wonder and exploration
and the beauty of the expansive Universe
I will touch
the and I'm not going to hold it down no
more no they're not going to change my
mind they tried to improve it for later
Seasons By upping the tempo but it still
fell
flat every time fans heard Enterprises
inappropriate theme they boldly went to
another
[Music]
channel number seven happy Happy Tree
[Music]
Friends surprise surprise another kid
show Happy Tree Friends a show that at
first glance seems to be about cute
little Woodland creatures but is
actually deceptively violent and Gory
opts for some high-pitched squealing as
the primary musical element in its theme
because that's what animals do they
[Music]
squeal anyway the theme song is a about
30 seconds of extremely piercing high
octave noises set to a background beat
of a tuba the tuba is actually the least
offensive part of the song so well done
tuba
[Music]
player number six Elmo's
World Elmo's World
la la la la la la la la stop this song
this is the thought set to an
unfortunate Melody that rolls through a
person's mind when they're in range of
Elmo and his toned deaf
[Music]
World fish his crayon
[Music]
too the show within a show is admittedly
great for children and plenty of people
out there would concede to having a soft
spot for the little red guy but that
doesn't mean the song isn't hard to
listen to it is at best annoyingly
catchy and at worst it's akin to a hole
being drilled in the side of your head
goldfish and crayons are not enough to
save us from this painfully irritating
earworm
that's number five Alvin and the
Chipmunks brace yourselves even if you
haven't seen the show you probably know
what's coming Alvin and his pesky
Chipmunks achieved mainstream billion
dooll success with their film franchise
yep Nobody Does that better than him and
anyone familiar with the movies knows
how heavily they're marketed through
mainstream songs that have been put
through a squeaky chipmunk
[Applause]
[Music]
filter well the Show's theme song does
the same thing letting the Chipmunk
squeaky singing voices take Center Stage
it's another example of a children's
show opting for shrill vocals and
uptempo Beats
[Music]
we're not sure but there has to be some
science behind the formula because it
seems that every new cartoon out there
is upping the ante on Annoying
themes number four the
[Music]
lws not introduced until season 2 The
hugely annoying themes song to The LW
has had several complaints lodged
against it but we'll start here it tries
too hard to be a James Bond song Gold
finger the bond themes work because well
it's James Bond and it's part of the
franchise's culture to work elsewhere
everything needs to be just right the LW
did not get it right and that's because
of the other issues the show follows a
group of melodramatic lesbians in
Hollywood and that's also what the
vocals focus on on talkinging breating
cry dring win cheting kissing thinking
dreaming it inappropriately and
stereotypically flaunts the character's
identities resulting in a song that's
actually fairly offensive to homosexuals
this is the way it's the way that we
live it's the way that we
live and love
number three Animaniacs it's time for
Animaniacs returning to Children's shows
we land on Animaniacs while we're sure
this tune has its fans some viewers find
the theme so bothersome because it feels
like a circus tune and you know what
it's designed to be
annoying
brother the show's three main characters
yako Wacko and Dot spend the song taking
the viewer around the WB lot explaining
the high jinkx they get up to it's high
pitched way too fast and altogether too
much but hey it won an Emmy Award and to
Ru the
universea together slpp with oh here's
something else you may not know this
Show's executive producer Steven
Spielberg you learn something new every
day max in our
we're totally insane here's a show
[Music]
number two Fanboy and Chum
Chum what the heck is a Chum Chum you
know what that's not important we're
here to talk about the Show's theme song
and yes it really truly earned the
number two
[Music]
spot an innocent whistle begins this
song but that's just the Calm before the
storm because then Fanboy and Chum Chum
break into a rrap and all hell breaks
[Music]
loose these two nasy demon spawns vomit
Up lyrics about their underwear and
getting a brain freeze brain
freeze and then you won't believe this
the song literally encourages its fans
to scream at the top of their lungs do
you even realize what you're doing to
parents peaceful household no more with
a of your lungs play and have
[Music]
fun oh that's nice before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
or in this case dishonorable mentions
Something Magic in the way you hold me
in your
[Music]
eyes countown and send a wish out
through the air and send a wish out
through the air number one Barney and
Friends Barney's friends are and
come you know what's funny most people
think that the Barney theme song is this
I love you you love me but the whole I
love you you love me thing isn't the
real theme although it was used to
torture PS in Iraq won't you say you
love me
no Barney's theme song is actually
completely different but don't worry
it's still super annoying it landed the
number one spot for a good or you know
what bad
reason the song entitled Barney is a
dinosaur is set to the tune of Yankee
Doodle which is offensive enough as it
is it sings of Barney how he's a
dinosaur and all the fun he gets up to
with the children after school they meet
to play
with happy faces let's just say that
when this version of the show ended in
2009 we're happy the irritating theme
song was retired along with
it do you agree with our list what do
you think is the most annoying theme
song out
