Can you sing all the lyrics to the Happy Days theme song?
Try not to bomb this "pop" quiz!
Happy Days is the rare TV show to have its theme song reach the Top 5 on the pop charts. Actually, the sitcom technically had two theme songs complete that feat. Pratt & McLain's version of "Happy Days" rocketed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976.
This tune had replaced "Rock Around the Clock," the first theme song heard in the Happy Days credits. That classic rock & roll tune was once a No. 1.
You've seen the opening credits countless times. Let's see how well you can remember the lyrics — all of them!

Fill in the blank:
"The weekend comes, my ______ hums" -
"Ready to ______ to you"

"These days are ours / _______ them with me"

"'Cause nothin' can _______ me when I hold you"

Of course, "Happy Days" was not the first theme used! The sitcom began with Bill Haley & The Comets' "Rock Around the Clock." See if you can fill in these blanks from that 1955 hit:
"Put your ______ ______ on and join me hon'!" -
"We'll have some fun when the clock strikes _______"
