i09 Lists Top 20 Sci-Fi Theme Songs

A great TV show doesn’t happen by accident, it has a number of parts that work well together. An important but underrated component is the first thing you hear as the show starts: its theme music. Genre site i09 has picked its Top 20 SF Theme Songs. I agree with some and had totally forgotten about the others. I’ve had the Wonder Woman theme stuck in my head for an hour after reading this. And I swear I don’t ordinarily think about Wonder Woman – much.

And of course The Greatest American Hero’s a classic – they even mention the infamous Seinfeld parody. “Believe it or not, George isn’t at home… funny stuff.” Does this list match yours? Any glaring omissions you can think of? If so, readers, what song gets you ready for your favorite show?
