    Reminds me of the parody song we sang in seventh grade.

    Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
    Stripped Elly May and put her on the bed
    Zipped down his zipper, and out came the worm
    And up from the worm came bubbling sperm
    Cum, that is

    I prefer the Constanza cover:



    That reminded me of simpler, more innocent days. Got me all misty eyed.

    I always thought the Quantum Leap theme was a nice piece of music.

    The Answering Machine is one of my ringtones. Between that and the two from Saved By The Bell and the tone that says, "Oh, Punky" when I get a text, I'm the coolest kid in the neighborhood.

    I voted for "other." If anyone remembers the short-lived "Green Hornet" series, it began with jazz trumpeter Al Hirt playing a kick-ass version of "Flight of the Bumblebee."

    I have that very ringtone. All the 20-somethings in the office look at me and snicker when the phone rings. In fact, I have both Simon & Simon themes (there was different theme in the first season, and it was used later as the closing theme, and words were added). Yes, I know far too much about Simon & Simon.

    The classic theme:


    The end theme:


    And three pages with no mention of The Equalizer? For shame. It's the best.

    Hawaii Five-O. It's not even close.



    And the original, by The Ventures ...

    I have never seen that. Kind of had some weird, 1980s east German, techno pop vibe that made me very uncomfortable.

    Too many solid choices.

    The only way to settle this is to do a field of 64 tournament.
