Favorite TV themes for bass

I watched "Family Guy" the other night, and it
really struck me... "What a great bass part!" I
have
known bass players who couldn't swing, and while
this would not be the be-all and end-all of
learning to swing, I think being able to "feel" it
as a bass player would certainly help in that
regard.

What are your fave TV themes regarding the bass
parts?

As a matter of fact I do hehe. The verse in question originally went like this:

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.

After a while, I am not sure exactly when, they changed it. Instead of saying "The professor and Mary Ann", it just said "and the rest".

I have always preferred the original. There was also a pilot version of the song that was used in the, well, you ghuessed it, the pilot. I have been looking for those lyrics, but no luck so far saddly!

Actually, you have the lyrics right, but the
sequence backwards. "And the rest" was the original.

that's good to know. Not that it will ever do me any
good, but it's something to think about next time I
find myself singing Gilligan's Island hehehe.

Just busy as hell for me. Between work, the kids, renovation of the home, and the band. Enjoying myself though.
