Dammit, listening to the Dead Milkmen has made me nostalgic for the 90s. Remember that halcyon decade? It seems like only ten year ago. But it wasn't. It was twenty.
I can't think of any sitcom with a better opening theme than the Adventures of Pete and Pete, although the Munsters had a good one. Pete and Pete was waaaay ahead of its time, theme-song-wise and otherwise.
I remember some cereal doing a promotion where you sent in some proof(s) of purchase(s) and they would send you a cassette single of this song with a few other of Polaris' "Deeper Cuts". My friend did it, I was at his house when it came, and we were pretty excited to hear it.... except the tape it didn't play.
ReplyDeleteHis mother deduced somewhere it must have been X-rayed when it was mailed, which may have erased the songs completely. We were left with a 12 minute blank tape.
That was the Bummer of '95. =(
