Mike Post’s Top 10 TV Show Theme Songs



For over 30 years the theme songs and episode montages have been marked in history by one man, thy name is Mike Post. Post is the youngest musician ever to be appointed as musical director for a television program at the tender age of 24, for The Andy Williams Show, and has won 5 Grammys. He’s been writing music that we all associate with our favorite TV shows growing up, well, at least mine...or maybe your parents?

The best and most memorable tunes come from the 70’s and 80’s, although he’s still banging out hits for Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit and loads of other compositions. All of the quotes below are taken from IMBD, and they are classic descriptions.

Megafaun - Lazy Suicide

Bon Iver has been the toast of the Internet the past few months, and rightfully so, but here I want to spotlight, Megafaun, comprised of the members of his former band DeYarmond Edison.

Megafaun, which I misread as Mega”fun” several times last month (and almost, live, while on the air), are a North Carolina based band that call the Research Triangle home. Already an indie bedrock (insert your favorite Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham band here), the Triangle appears to be having a musical renaissance of late, and Megafaun are certainly a part of it. While it may have been the band’s connection to Bon Iver that initially caught my eye, it was “Find Your Mark’s” seventies-leaning, expansive, pop sensibilities that drew me in.

“Lazy Suicide,” with its anxious spoon clattering, rusty banjo, desperate vocals, and sub rosa guitar lead comes from a different space entirely. Ostensibly drawing on the Triangle’s rural surroundings, the track sounds like some kind of long lost 16 Horsepower outtake. Great stuff. The band released their six song EP, Bury The Square, last month, via the Table of The Elements label.
