The best ever "love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra, used for Married with Children.

The opening credits cut to fit the tempo of the track brilliantly.

Oasis,Half The World away, Royle Family. Love it

Great tune, one of my favourite Oasis tracks. Being pedantic though, wasn't it a B-side to "Whatever"? Not strictly a chart hit in its own right.

The Smoking Room used Close To Me by the Cure as it's theme tune.

I remember Reporting Scotland using the Emerson, Lake and Palmer version of Fanfare for the Common Man as their theme.
