    lyrics:
    If you should meet this strange family
    Just forget what some people have said,
    The Munsters may shake your hand clammily
    But they're not necessarily dead.
    Behind their house you mustn't be afraid
    To see a figure digging with a spade.
    Perhaps someone didn't quite make the grade
    With the Munsters, with the Munsters.
    If when you're sleeping you dream a lot,
    Ghoulish nightmares parade through your head,
    And then you wake up and scream a lot,
    Oh the Munsters are under your bed.
    At midnight if creatures should prowl about,
    And if vampires and vultures swoop down.
    And werewolves and fiends shriek and howl about,
    Oh the Munsters are out on the town.
    One night I dared peek through their window screen,
    My hair turned white at such a crazy scene.
    Because every evening its Halloween
    At the Munsters, at the Munsters.

      Many classic TV shows have lyrics for their themes. The producer received an extra cut of the profits if he contributed lyrics -- which per contract law are considered "creative content" on his part -- whether or not they were actually used. With ST: TOS and Hogan's Heroes, for instance, it's best nobody ever heard them in first run. I believe the "McHale's Navy" theme has lyrics, too.

      The original theme for the show didn't even have lyrics. It was just 44 seconds. And what are you talking about? Pretty Little Liars, Game of Thrones, The Fosters, etc. They all have theme songs around that same span of time.

      +Bianca Gray A 22 minute program has no time for full-length theme songs. Many TV Themes turned into pop hits and sold millions of records. Most of them had lyrics when they were composed. I can't imagine ALL theme songs to be full-length with lyrics each time a show is broadcast on TV. Have some common sense!

      Many shows, as the seasons progressed, would cut the original theme even shorter, to either sell more ads, or add more time to the actual episode. (Usually by listing the credits during the opening scene.)

    Don't think I've ever heard this with vocals before. A number of of TV themes had lyrics that we never heard, like "Fishin' Hole," from The Andy Griffith Show" and the theme from Bonanza. Somewhere out there is video of the original cast from Bonanza singing the song.

    • @johnny-becker

      Rozalin Shadowheart Yup! It is called Fishing Hole actually sung by Andy Griffith on one of his albums back in the day. I am sure it can be found on here somewhere. Another theme song that has lyrics is M*A*S*H which is called Suicide Is Painless which is actually somewhat a depressing song from Johnny Mandel

    • @steelblue58
      @steelblue58 9 лет назад

      MerlinsDragon1970 I looked that up, and the Bewitched theme was an original song written for the show by Jack Keller, with lyrics by Howard Greenfield. Although the lyrics were never used in the show, IMDb says that several singers recorded the song including Steve Lawrence and Peggy Lee.

    • @johnny-becker
      @johnny-becker 9 лет назад

      Awesome! I myself will have to check that out. Peggy Lee was a helluva singer back in the day... She was the original artist for "Why Don't You Do Right" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit" although Amy Irving (source: movies.stackexchange.com) made it famous by slowing down the beat and making it sexy sounding style. Peggy Lee's original version was very upbeat and up-tempo style. Wasn't the words to Bewitched featured in the movie? I have not seen it in years even though I own it, and seem to remember them at a casting celebration party and the words was sung by a Frank Sinatra style singer, might have been Jack Keller as you just mentioned himself.
