  Josh Groban sings TV theme song medley at Emmy Awards

  posted by matt | 09.22.08 | permalink | 9 comments

  I never thought I’d be typing this, but Josh Groban gave a stellar performance at the 2008 Emmys / The Academy Awards, doing an amusing medley of television theme songs. There was quite a variety, and I think I was most impressed with seeing Groban do the South Park theme (1:45 in or so). Also notable is the theme song from Cops about 2:45 in.

  Here’s a list of all the TV theme songs Josh Groban sang or made reference to:

  The Simpsons
  Friends
  Happy Days
  Golden Girls
  Mister Roger’s Neighborhood
  The Andy Grifith Show
  The Love Boat
  Law & Order
  The Addams Family
  The Muppet Show
  The X-Files
  South Park
  The Jeffersons
  Baywatch
  The Brady Bunch
  COPS
  Law & Order
  The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
  Saturday Night Live
  The Late Show with David Letterman
  Late Night with Conan O’Brien
  The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
  Two and a Half Men
  Rawhide
  Gilligan’s Island
  M*A*S*H
  The Carol Burnett Show
  Cheers
  I Dream of Genie

  We lost our first Golden Girl yesterday when Estelle Getty passed away at age 84. I used to watch Golden Girls with my grandparents when I was a kid, and it amazes me how much of the humor must have gone over my head at the time. I’m not the only person my age who used to watch it, and it’s odd to think of a show about a bunch of old ladies appealing to 10 year olds.

  Poor old Estelle suffered from Lewy’s Body Dementia, and it was this sickness that led to her untimely demise.

  What does this have to do with songspeak, you ask? Well, I know myself and others have songspoken the Golden Girls theme song on many occasions. That, as well as Sophia’s spunk and sass, prompted me to post.
