One of my biggest complaints about TV today is that they stopped using theme songs for the most part. The tunes at the opening of a program can make a memorable show even more memorable. You hear The Jeffersons theme and you are transplanted to a deluxe apartment in the sky or you picture an hourglass if you hear theme from Days of our Lives or the snap of two fingers makes you want to watch The Addams Family. The one thing they all have in common is that happy feeling you get when you hear them. Even a snippet of the Animanics theme makes you want to smile. Therefore imagine 100 of them combined together? They give us a history of television unlike any thing else we have heard before. No matter how stressful your day is, this video of Joe working his finger magic for Reverb will make the stress slip away every time he plays a chord.
BTW you can totally tell Joe is a child of the ’90s because of the songs he chose from that era, it is all cartoons and Nickelodeon.
Finally, I discovered this video thanks to Me TV who airs a lot of the shows whose theme songs he played.
