I sang just the t.v. theme song part on the StarMaker App the very day he passed. They don't have the full song unfortunately. I am known as ChromeRose on there if anyone is interested. I'm currently #3 on the list of people who've sang it.
I loved the show. I loved the characters and the whole cast. But I was only 11 when it came out. To me the big theme was the ENDING SONG! I tried and Tried as many did and some still do to figure out what the lyrics were but finally decided (After I recorded it with a little cassette recorder off the end of the show LOL) that they were actually nonsense probably done in order to mock or just have fun with all those that often said things like "I can't even understand the ltrics to those Rock music songs! Why do you like it?" Or something similar. It turns out that I was actually right. That great hard rockin song that couldn't be bought at a record store and that no one knew the artist was done that way on purpose! I still lov ethat piece! To me it's a movement that perfectly sums up the whole feeling I and Millions of other get when a great, TRULY GREAT Rock N Roll song come on and is blasted at high Volume so I can ROCK OUT TO IT!!! Which I did every single time I had the chance until I finally had an actual recording of it.
When WKRP was on the air from Sept. 18,1978-April 21,1982 is was a great show and its still a great show today! They just dont make Tv like they use to! WKRP Theme Song was so awesome!!!!
We live in the so called “Golden Age of Television”. I’ve tried but todays TV has lots of choices but few shows that are actually entertaining. I’ll take reruns of classic Tv shows from the 50s through 80s any day.
I worked in radio for over 20 years in several states. I truly, and completely personally relate to this song and its lyrics, I really lived it!! And indeed it was a great TV show!
Wow, had no idea she played on this? I've never known much of anything about who made the song, wouldn't have guessed her though, learn something new every day.
2nd verse: Headin' up that highway Leaving you behind Hardest thing I ever had to do. Broke my heart in two But baby pay no mind The price for finding me was losing you Memories help me hide my lonesome feeling Far away from you and feeling low It's getting late my friend, my love I miss you so Take good care of you i gotta go
@@farout166 This song always touches a soft spot in my heart, this line especially, gets me every time. I get emotional, often teary eyed. I know that sounds ridiculous for a sitcom theme but it just does. I've never even watched the show god damn it!
August 2, 2024. This song brings back great memories, as my wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary. We had no money to do a lot of things, so we watched a lot of sitcoms. This was one of our favorites. 46 years later , I hear this song, and I feel 28 years old .
I literally just heard this played on the radio tonight. Couldn't believe it especially considering I was going up and down the proverbial dial searching for something different to listen to.
This song touches my heart brings me back when I 3. Chilling with my parents may they rest 40years later this song stands the taste of times thanks. Steve
Great theme song and TV show. People had respect for each other back then. The words to this song are so soothing and full of happiness and inspiration. What this country the U.S.A. needs today! No more violence, young people grow up and respect your fellow citizens and peers. It all starts At Home!
Tears of joy hearing this piece of my childhood and now adulthood as I rewatch WKRP on DVD. This was an awesome theme in a genre that has had some mind-blowing themes of our time. ❤
When the song came out, radio stations could personalize it by putting their own call sign at the end (for an additional fee I'm sure). I heard it once while driving through Stockton, Ca. and the end was "I'm at KSTN in Stockton". I've heard of other stations that did the same.
I think "We Built This City" did the same. There was the standard San Francisco DJ in the song, but could be edited for other stations. I know our local station did that.
@@mutigerinky 93.3 KUBE-FM Seattle did this. I seem to remember KUBE playing two versions of We Built this City, one featuring their morning personality Charlie Brown and the other with their afternoon personality Bob Case. I believe Bob was still with KUBE at the time. Rest in peace, Charlie Brown and KUBE93 FM.
Amo esta canción ❤️.... Ese estilo de música Country con fusión de R and B la hace muy especial, es una canción mágica desde que empieza hasta que termina. Ya no se hacen composiciones musicales como este, es una pena. Desde La Rioja Argentina.
One of the best ever theme songs to accompany the best sitcoms ever made. Barney Miller, Taxi and M*A*S*H were also pretty good. The 70s had THE best television/theme songs. Welcome Back, Good Times, Maude and The Jeffersons deserve a mention as well. I'm sure I'm missing a few. 🌘✌
I worked as a social worker in Cincinnati, but on weekends I was a part time producer for one of the nighttime talents on the weekend. We played this song a lot since we were WKRC and upstairs from us was the radio station WKRQ. They of course dubbed it so it said WKRC. Great memories.
1981: got the original Sweet City/MCA demo single, which I played on KFTW, then found the LP some years later. For those of us who lived radio during that era, the song is honest and, for many of us, true. Her name was Debbie, and I still miss her so.
no he didn't. not "every time" he got a fee every time before syndication. .yes, after which he made pennies per play. please do not spread misinformation.
As God is my witness - this is a QUALITY theme song from a QUALITY sitcom. Used to be shown on Friday nights at 11.30 on ITV in the early 80s, then Channel 4 showed it at 8.30 on Monday nights.
MeTV brought me here. Love this theme song. I remember watching WKRP on TV as a kid. Brings back good memories of the time. Growing up in the late 70s/early 80s was awesome. I still love listening to this genre. Great singing voice this dude has. Who writes these kind of lyrics anymore? I used to work as a locums primary care provider. This song takes me back to those days on the road when I was single and living in hotels and changing clinic locations every 3 months. It was like being on a never ending vacation. Got to see and know a lot of this beautiful country back then. Where does time go?
Frank Bonner, who played Herb Tarlek on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati,” has died. He was 79. Bonner passed away “peacefully” Wednesday amid a battle with Lewy body dementia, his family told TMZ.

This used to be on late at night in the uk, used to watch it all the time, the theme has always struck me how happy it sounds but sad at the same time.
Great theme, great song! Definitely a better time gone by. We could surely use this era of music now! I love that they used the station tag at the end...really nice touch...and for those who play, the two note slide at the end...E - C...is the bomb. Good stuff!
Such a fantastic song. Takes me back to my high school days. Steve has an amazing voice and the band is spectacular. Esp the bassist and the lead guitar.
Black Girl Magic I was truck driver, every state I stopped & took a picture of welcome to Sign. Ive got 35 welcome to signs. Not a glomours job but made good money. It was cool driving in those Mountains out west, a little scary at times. It was a lot of work had to keep track of the miles I drove. Its not fun driving lots of people hate those big trucks on the road.
Yes I agree, this song definitely makes me want to go to Cincinnati. I used to want to live there too. I think people who call Cincinnati home are very lucky.
@@jimogrady1131 I appreciate those big trucks on the road. What would we do without our truckers? You have such a vital role in keeping the countries running. You put in long hours away from home with often tough road conditions and crazy drivers. You deserve good money and I salute you! Thank you all so much for your hard work! 🌟🏆🤗
Remember my dad watching this show. Still love this theme song today. Dallas, Knots Landing, Full House, 90210, Welcome Back Kotter and of course WKRP are my all time favourite intro songs.
Love the T.V. series and especially the the song. I remember setting back watching the series after smoking a Dobie eating my belonged sandwich with some chips and drinking a Coke a Cola. Best times ever. I also know I wasn't the only one. Lol.Wink wink
Ahhhh the greatest memories of my childhood as I hear this song played on the show & hearing the full version of this song brings back good memories! 🙂🙂🎵🎵
I couldn't have told you a single lyric to this song until I listened to it and suddenly remembered ALL of them. I've now forgotten them again. The brain is weird.
It’s amphigory at the end credits. When he was writing the song he didn’t have all the lyrics written so he sang gibberish and it stayed in the final version.
The phone police finally caught up with Howard Hessman. I have SUCH fond memories of this show and it's cast. Oh and Jan Smithers as "Bailey Quarters" was the shows REAL BABE!
A local guy made it to play in the MLB and played for the Cincinnati Reds. His Mom was a friend of the family and she'd comment on how much he enjoyed playing in and the Cincinnafi fans at the old Riverfront Stadium.

They actually played this on Mix 94.9 in Cincinnati during their Smoothnati show on Sunday mornings a few weeks ago.
They don’t make tv themes like this anymore. This is my childhood right here.
networks got greedy in the 90's
Hell no they don’t ❤
I feel you there man! This was my childhood as well!!
@@coolman62801 Only reason i ever wanted to go to racist Cinncinati.
Today's shows are nothing but garbage.
"The price for finding me was losing you." --such a deep line This song is a classic!
Life as a radio DJ isn’t glamorous. You’re constantly switching stations and moving from city to city for better opportunities.
Could apply from a woman as well though it was for Gary Sandy"s character.
Wonder what these performers did when the show was cancelled?
That line still cuts like a knife when I hear it. It’s brutal but it works because it’s honest.
woes of the lonely salesmen, is hard when one fell in love with a hoe who became a soulmate,, oh well , thats life on the run and uncommitted
Yes, I thought the same with that LINE.... very RIGHT on POINT.... " The price 4 finding ME was losing you" SO much how real LIFE is 4 sure.
Who seriously thumbs down'ed this? This is our 70's and 80's childhood epitomized.
really?? I can't imagine
Some people are joyless and just need to spread it around. I feel bad for those people. (Or maybe it was the turkeys.)
This was a little before my time to really enjoy it, but this was an excellent show. I agree, who would give a thumbs down on this. SHAME!
i gotta think it's just ppl who slipped and hit the wrong thumb..
It’s no doubt one of the swine from rival WPIG!
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

Just about the only thing I can find anymore worth watching is re-runs of Law and Order.......
I'm a sitcom junkie, I watch 70s & 80s all the time. they make me feel comforted , especially The Golden Girls.

Best comment. Ever.

The bass player stamped his name and soul right ON IT .

Danny Angotti is listed as the bass player on this.
2nd verse: Headin' up that highway
Leaving you behind
Hardest thing I ever had to do.
Broke my heart in two
But baby pay no mind
The price for finding me was losing you
Memories help me hide my lonesome feeling
Far away from you and feeling low
It's getting late my friend, my love
I miss you so
Take good care of you i gotta go
I know, right? Some of the most poetic TV theme song lyrics ever.
Great lyrics

This is simply a great song TV theme or not

Feels so clean like I am taking a shower in Hopes a dreams , and angel pee .

Town to town and up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be
But baby think of me once in awhile. Heading up that highway
Leaving you behind
Hardest thing I've ever had to do
Broke my heart in two
But Baby, pay no mind
The price for finding me was losing you. Memories help me hide my lonesome feelin'
Far away from you and feelin' low

Props to the bass player! And fun trivia: The guys who produced this tune? Brucker and Garcia, aka the "Pac Man Fever" guys!
A local guy made it to play in the MLB and played for the Cincinnati Reds. His Mom was a friend of the family and she'd comment on how much he enjoyed playing in and the Cincinnafi fans at the old Riverfront Stadium.
My favorite show 😊
