We gathered some notable musical acts who cut classic TV themes. Try to match their names and faces to the correct shows!
-
Pratt & McClain's letterman jackets were a nice touch — and a hint.
-
He also sang the 'Cop Rock' theme but we're going to overlook that one.
-
The Man in Black sang the theme for which Western?
-
Bill Joel could be heard on this '80s sitcom.
-
He was appropriately setting sail on this cover.
-
The Queen of Soul was quite a get.
-
They might be — well, they definitely are — the singers behind this theme.

11/13 went from to easy to slightly tough.
#9 is currently being used in an Applebee's commercial, I think they goofed I love the song but I don't know if THE SAME OL PLACE THAT YOU LAUGHED ABOUT will draw people back to Applebee's! They basically admitted Applebee's is a joke!

*Bill* Joel? Really? I mean, in his song “Piano Man” it does say “Bill, I believe this is killing me”, but I’m pretty sure METV just said ‘Bill’ because they don’t proofread. 😆
