theme song


I can only remember the first few lines. I'm sure there were only 6 or so lines total (short as opening themes tend to be) but can anyone finish the song?

It goes:

- Adam wasn't like the other kids. (electric guitar chords then a mild crowd cheer "Remote Control!")
- T.V. mattered, nothin' else did. (repeat chords and cheer)

That's all I remember. Just curious how many more hardcore obscure TV schmucks think this is cool. Don't be afraid, you're safe here. Takers anyone?

Kenny wasn't like the other kids
TV mattered, nothn' else did
Girls said yes, he said NO
Now Kenny's got his own game show
*electronic voice* REMOTE CONTROL

I think that's how it went - I'm guilty as charged, a 30-something product of the 80's who grew up with MTV and now I can't stand anything on that wretched channel.

Right on. Props and good lookin' out.
You know if they brought this back, there'd be retro t-shirts for it at hot topic in a month. Fond memories though. Thanks again true believer!

reply

Good memory. Everything is right except for one word.

The final line is
"Now he's got his own game show."

s#@%! OK, that's my one error for the year. Thanks for the website, DCLundberg, that's fun stuff you put together. Does anyone know if any of the episodes are available for purchase, or are airing on any TV/cable channels?

Ha ha!!!! I learned the bassline from the theme song back in '88 and I still play it just to amuse myself!

Wow, thanks for the flashback to this show. Time to break out the Acid Washed Jeans, the super hightops and the girlfriend with the superhigh bangs.
