The only intro I don’t skip on Netflix
Missing on a lot of good tune though
Never skip the intro. ;) ruclips.net/user/alekritikos
Also narcos
And The Office
I never skip the inteo
Someone on the Mad Men production team had great taste in obscure turntablist music.
Seriously. It sounds kind of like "I’ll have the Waldorf salad" by Amon Tobin
Love this comment
Matt Weiner the creator found this song while listening to NPR
Thats good to hear rjd2 still up there
@@DLKCOMEDY88 That’s why I Love ❤️ NPR for their educational spot lights -and beautiful Muzic!
Insane drumming
Charles Versnel it isnt even a movie you turd
Bernard Purdie is indeed the man: ruclips.net/video/KB5sMYw37gw/видео.html

This drum cover is amazing ruclips.net/video/6HYLfoT1VZA/видео.html

I started watching Mad Men a few weeks ago, almost done season 3 now. For new people: it's a slow burn, but don't give up, the character development is some of the best I've seen (next to Breaking Bad).
Agree
Noah Spencer the first two episodes were some what boring the only reason I’m still watching the first season is because of this intro but it’s getting better and now I’m starting to like it a lot more and I’m starting to get hooked currently I’m on episode 5 of season 1
They got the period setting perfect.
Song of India David carbona
@Donuts totally. That show has amazing script writing and character development.
The intro always gives me goosebumps.
Serious "I’ll have the Waldorf salad" by Amon Tobin vibes
Me too😭😭😭😭
For the longest time I thought Don Draper would kill himself by jumping out of the window because of the intro
same
@horriblepancake It doesnt have nothing to do with the show. It's just metaphorical not literal.
@@stephenshaw7593 the intro definitely has something to do with the show, but its symbolic, not foreshadowing.
Idk how that never came to me but yeah makes sense
@horriblepancake it does tho, the falling thru the world of advertising. Hes in top but he falls bc of women, alcohol, cheating, etc. and manages to be one of the best in the biz
1:20 to 1:54 are the best parts in the instrumental in my opinion. The way the beat drops just gives it that smooth 60s feel.
But that part is so repetitive.
The Get Down!!
You have to listen to "bridge" by Amon Tobin. It has a bit of a 60s vibe, too
Yeah, it just reminds me if I was strutting down the street as Don Harper himself.
@@worrywart1311 lmao so?
"Because I like being bad.. and coming home and being good."
Just watched that episode 😂
isnt that bethany?

Never watched a episode of Mad Men, I think im going to love it...
You will
True but you also have to acknowledge that Mad Men is the purest example of "slow burning" television. Mean it might take awhile for you to get into it.
one of the best shows ever. Don draper is one of the best characters on TV if not the best. the show is pure cool.
I'm just at the first episode and I already love it
It's a very deep show. Don't give up only a few episodes in. You'll be hooked at the end of season one, I guarantee. Great cast list as well.
My only ringtone since 2011
Rlly man
LOOKSPHERE cool
huh it really makes for a great ringtone, doesn't it
@@RepublicTeaRoom no way
"He might lose his foot"
"Right when he got it in the door"
a thing like that!
the drums are insane
I'll go ahead and be the millionth person to point this out but:
I love the Mad Men intro because of how it literally plays out the entire series right in front of your eyes in a nice concise little 30 or so second animatic. You get Don Draper starting at the top of the advertising world, he's got everything he could ever want. Then it all starts to fall out from under him and he begins to plummet. We see him fall past all the vices that are responsible for his downfall in the form of advertisements: Women, booze, power, etc.
Like you almost don't even need to watch the show to know what it's about just from this intro. Never let it be said that the guys who come up with the intro for shows don't deserve as much credit as the rest of the staff.
how would you say that women/booze/power is responsible for his downfall ? this is for a school assignment ;-;
@@19bless I would say that those vices are Don's temptations that he has trouble letting go of.
Because of his assumed persona, his 'fake life' that he desperately wants to hold onto, Don's world is all about maintaining an illusion (both for himself and others). Nobody really knows Don, including himself. He tries to bury his past and move on, but along the course of the show, we start to find out that he really can't do that. He feels empty and directionless. A way to cope with this empty feeling is to pour himself into his work. When his work starts to fail, he resorts to booze and women. These vices aren't inherently what causes his downfall though. I would rather say that his fake image is the most important reason why his world starts to crumble. Women, power and booze are his form of escapism.
Don represents superficiality. He works as an 'adman' selling lies, he has a hard time loving people and has multiple affairs. Couple that with the toxic masculinity of the 60s and you have a recipe for disaster. The showrunners didn't place him in that hippie retreat accidentally. Don found 'himself' when he finally stopped lying to himself. He entered the 70s and shedded his old 'nuclear family man' skin. That's how I see it anyway. There are probably a million other ways to interpret this show.
@@MisterDutch93 omg thanku somuch
SPOILER ALERT
He had it all, lost a lot, got laid a ton, wasn't broke and came up with the Famous Coke theme. Draper was my Idol.
I used to think that Breaking Bad was the best series ive ever seen, until i started Mad Men a few weeks ago.
@@JulianScotus samee
Hard to pick one over the other, really. One is an excellent thriller, while the other is the most elaborate character study in television. Not saying it's the best, but Better Caul Saul is a bit of both.
I love mad men
@@MrTouloir yeah! right? I thought that too. Better call Saul I amazing. Imo it's better than breaking bad and mad men but not by much
Sopranos is the best
This is the second-best TV Show I've ever seen, second only to the Sopranos.
The Smart-Casual Gamer. I’ve been rewatching the Sopranos. Mad Men is slightly better.
I just went from sopranos straight to this
1:22 *wears sunglasses
and brings out grappling hook while crashing into a fancy restaurant
this was an instant classic. Thanks for blowing our minds with magnificent sounds RJ, you are a genius.
For those who are wondering: the drums are sampled from Bernard "Pretty" Purdie - Heavy Soul Slinger
I’m always late to watching hit shows and just started watching Mad Men. I love it! I finished season 1 in 3 days 😄
did you watch the rest?
@@folaolakunbi4961 lol
i just watched two years ago........the most impactful amazing display of televison ever made.
Bruce Bruce yes, I did! Loved it!!
Jim Moriarty I’ve never watched one season of any show in three days. And it hasn’t happened again after Mad Men 😎
MAD MEN the end of an era
Lyrics:

MEEEE
i’ve known rjd2 for years from the song “smoke & mirrors” but had no idea he made the mad men theme. that’s so awesome
The intro stayed the same throughout the serie and I loved it.
What is happiness? Just a moment before you need more happiness
LOVING IT, I ALSO LOVE THE SHOW, I HAVE ALL THE SASONS, THIS THEME SONG IS PERFECT!!!
Crazy to think it almost didn't get the green light to be the intro song

Am I the only one who thinks this tune feels very James Bond?
"Mad Men" was set in the era James Bond debuted, so that could be why.
Also Don Draper could be James Bond
@@danytostudios ikr
The new HBO show, His Dark Materials, has such a Bond feeling intro. Not just the music but the visuals as well. Very creative, high quality stuff!
I beg to differ; this is more of small-time kinda thing.
James Bond's theme music is usually orchestral and rock and roll if you get me like Skyfall, You know my name...etc this jazzy piece of art fits like a Vera Wang dress
Don, my boy!
When I was little my mom would watch this and when the theme would play I’d do a weird dance
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆it's that danm good music
@@maryannejacksonpicker1028 never watched it saw the Simpsons parody absolutely love this song!
Oh gee, THANKS Mason! I feel positively ancient now. 😂 😉
I know, but eventually you went to bed. Thank God.
Yea this intro was a npstalgia blast lol
Just re-watching this again. The theme. OMG the percussion!
Love this over opening credits. Have binge watched the series 3 times. Never gets old. Sally
I use to watch this program religiously on cable. It was a interesting show.
Thevway they cut it on Mad Men, perfection. The music and mod looking animation puts you right in the 60s yet thinking you're on the cutting edge of things. Perfect show in so many ways.
Such an addicting title theme!!! Love the solo drums while the title fades into view with a silhouette Don sitting while holding a cigarette. 😍😍😍
So clean..
I have no idea why this song evokes so much feeling from me.
This is my favorite music. I love the whole record. Swingin' man. Groovy.
This makes me want to tell someone to shut the door and have a seat.
I've really enjoyed a lot of RJD2's music for years and I always loved the them for Mad Men, I had no idea he made it.
This theme is addictive.
This represents the sixties: Urban sophistication and all that that implies...a period of great style which we shall never see again.
The robot from starwars made this?! Happy to see he's still getting work.
Holy shit, it's a full song!
ai vem aquela voz maravilhosa no final...
-MAD MEN
Legendado é melhor vai por mim
Legendado é melhor mesmo, mas dublado com essa voz no final é muito foda
Sempre lembro do carinha falando "Babilônia", com aquele vozeirão
Absolutely magnificent.
Amazing how music AND movies/TV shows can evoke all sorts of feelings including a sense of awe, and the sense of being taken to another world. Madmen as a TV show/work of art should probably be played on a continual loop in The Louvre. This music as a theme song could perhaps NOT be replaced EVER by any other music PERIOD.
(But an experiment in psychology could PERHAPS be performed by subjecting select people who have NEVER seen the show, to it, by utilizing a different theme song and asking certain questions to see how and/or how much attitudes/perceptions to the show can be compared to people like me who think this music is THE ONLY song that can be used as a theme song to Madmen.
some of the sickest drums ever and for ever..
Badass groove. Keep up the good work.
Sooo beautiful
this is going to be stuck in my head!!!
The suitcase. 💯
Truly a well designed intro to complement the programming-it caught my attention. Superior style and taste!
They should have had this whole theme in like the last or 2nd last episode from the series! Just like the full breaking bad theme in the 2nd episode of breaking bad... Missed opportunity! Would have been so epic...
Yeah even TWD did it, why not Mad Men?
I've always loved the theme
This music is sick..love it👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I didn't know RJD2 until I searched for "Mad Men OP Track" , and the full track is amazing regardless of the needless ending of the music , insane solo drums , extremely fitting violin melody in the background with other music effects that made it better , and the combination between drums and temporary hip hop beats was lit , i believe in this guy's potential now
It’s just a remix of the theme songs for either Scarface and/or The Omen. Mostly a 70s religious horror movie generic staple beat.
HELP MY BIGGEST FLEX IS THAT MY DAD IS REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WITH RJD2 😭😭😭
Those drums. I can't get enough.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN, HOW I LOVE THIS- MOST ESP THE DRUMS. GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh jesus, the drumming is something of other world.
i miss u all.. best series ever.
Happy birthday, I’ve been listening to your art SINCE WE LAST SPOKE.

Coolest theme ever, love it!!!❤️

OMG what? I had no idea RJD2 did the theme, that is so awesome.
Roger. Roger. Marketing. Marketing. Genius. Genius. Genius. Genius. Meeeee

Song deserves million views

I never watched Mad Men but I do love the Music.
This song calms me for some reason
Great tune to listen to whilst playing the game super hot!

Holy shit! The sound staging this song has is phenomenal. I'm listening to it in my sony HF-1000XM3 and suddenly I thought I was in a different world.
Classic

Can’t stop listing for some reason
That drum beat!
Супер.

MRRJD2 well you haven't uploaded anything on this channel and if you were the real guy I don't see why you wouldn't just use the channel that uploaded this video?
(Don Draper) "Advertising is based on one thing: happiness. And do you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of a road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing is OK. You are OK."
(Unnamed) "It's toasted."
(Unnamed) "I get it."
this is still fire
Basha llega al alma la rola

the Bernard Purdie drum sample on this will never not go hard asf.
I just started watching mad men and this is the only intro besides greys anatomy that I don’t skip
you da bomb rj
Perfecto para definir la vida de un hombre
harp part sampled from the album "Spanish Strings' from Enoch light. Track: "without you"

What about the strings? It sounds similar to "I’ll have the Waldorf salad" by Amon Tobin
I've yet to watch Mad Men until lastnight. I instantly knew the theme song. What's been going on RJ?
Lmao, I remember running downstairs just to listen to this song like 7 years ago when my Parents would watch the show.
nicee
I shut the door and took a seat to listen this
