Anywho, I'll never get tired of the Ventures, but there is an awesome Ska version of the Hawaii Five-O theme. Can't remember who did it, but it kicks.

And even if they are great songs (the Office) they don't exist in long form anywhere, or are pre-existing pop songs used to showcase how obscure the creators' tastes run (Grey's Anatomy) Oh well, maybe someday when the writer's strike ends we'll get a show with a kickass theme song that will prove to be blogworthy in 30 years.
