* "Oh, my my. This is ''Series/AllThat'', this is All That!"
* "Amanda-manda-manda-manda-mada, Amanda-manda-manda-mada Show.",
* Common in {{tokusatsu}} shows, at least up until the 1980s or 90s:
** ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' in every incarnation. Quite possibly the worst offender. The original theme song consisted entirely of the lines "Go go Power Rangers / Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers." The first season version had two lines of exposition in the beginning to explain the plot of the show, one of them was the TropeNamer for RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude, and a longer version of the song, with verses, often accompanied the Thunderzords into battle.
*** ''Series/PowerRangersLightSpeedRescue'' had two lines, followed by endless repetition of the title, made worse by the fact that the music repeated as well.
** "''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'', together we can fight the fight!" Ironically, its original Japanese analogue ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' (like almost all Heisei era Franchise/KamenRider shows) averts this trope, giving each series a potential top-40 single as its theme song (''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' had a theme song by popular J-rock artist Gackt).
*** "Chou-henshin! Series/KamenRiderKuuga!" (with extra doses of just "Kuuga" preceding that) and "Ready to go, Count ZERO, Series/KamenRiderAgito" count. They are the only Heisei shows that follow the trope because they were produced before the record company switch.
*** That being said, the themes of ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' and ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'', the first theme for ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' and the ending theme of ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'' still drop (respectively) the words "Faiz" (in the form of the punny "Justifaiz"), "decade", "double" (sorta), "blade" and "hibiki", but ''not'' "Kamen Rider".
*** Going further back, the theme song of [[Series/KamenRider the very first series]] finished with "Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider, Rider, Rider!"
** [[Series/MaskedRider Saban's Masked Rider]] falls under this pretty well (literally, the only lyrics are "Masked Rider" repeated over and over), [[FanonDisContinuity but we don't really like to talk too much about it...]]
** "Hikari no Kuni kara Bokura no tame ni, kitta...zo warera no [[Series/{{Ultraman}} URU...TORAMAN]]!
*** Along with [[Franchise/UltraSeries all the other ones]]. as well
*** Going with US Tokusatsu themes (and speaking of the Ultra Series), there was also: [[Series/UltramanTiga ULTRAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! TIGA!]]) ULTRAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! (Laaaaarger than) Larger than Life, ULTRAMAN!
* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily''
* ''Series/AllStarBlitz'', [[{{Scatting}} hobba hum, hobba heeba humba]]
* ''Series/AmericanBandstand''
** The theme song, "Bandstand Boogie", was not written for the series, and was an instrumental. It was played unaltered for most of the run of the series. The trope only applies after Music/BarryManilow wrote lyrics for it, and recorded his version especially for the program.
* [[Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow This is the Aquabats Super Show, it's a TV shooooo-wooaaaaaah-ohhhhhhhh-ohhhhhhh-owwwwwww! (The Aquabats! Super Show! The Aquabats! Super Show!)]]
* In-universe example on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'': the theme for ''Mock Trial with [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep J. Reinhold]]'' has William Hung repeating the title incessantly.
* Say hello to your friends, (''[[Literature/TheBabySittersClub BabySitters Club]]''), say hello to the people who care...
* The most classical example: "[[Series/Batman1966 Batman! Nanananana Batman! Nananana Batman! Nananana Batman!]]"
** Notably, it managed to get an ''instrumental'' award; that's right: its vocals were deemed ''instruments''.
* ''Series/BeatShazam'' used for its first three seasons "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind and Fire as its theme tune. Beginning in the fourth season, however, they have a short original tune, with a group of vocalists singing "Let's see if you can beat Shazam!"
* "''Series/BetweenTheLions'' between the covers of a book, it's time to look Between the Lions."
* ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy''. Mention it to any {{geek}} or {{nerd}} who was between 5 and 15 in the 90s, and rather than mention a specific episode or parody song, they start singing the Theme Song.
** "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!"
** Ten years later and smarter, and I still can't tell you a thing about Inertia except that it is a property of matter.
** Likewise, my only opinion about Science is that it rules.
* "The Croc Hunter taught her, and his only daughter is ''Series/BindiTheJungleGirl''!"
* A pure example is the old gameshow ''[[Series/MatchGame Blankety Blank]]'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWgR-4dcbc4 Blankety Blank Blankety Blank *Dum*Dum* Blankety Blank Blankety Blank *Dum*Dum*...]]" (you would never guess what lyrics are used to introduce the Supermatch Game round).
* The ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' theme song for seasons 5-7: "When this boy meets world, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment boy meets world...]]"
* "That's the way we all became ''Series/TheBradyBunch''!"
* "''With our hocus pocus, you're in focus, it's your lucky day! Smile, you're on ''Series/CandidCamera''!''"
* "There's a holdup in The Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights / There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights / There's a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev's due at Idlewild[[note]]The airport now known as the John F. Kennedy International Airport[[/note]] / ''Series/Car54WhereAreYou''
* She's the ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''! (What? No I'm not.) She's the ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''! (That's a sexist term...) She's the ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend''! (Can you guys stop singing for just a second?) '''[[MemeticMutation SHE'S SO BROKEN INSIIIIIIIIIDE]]'''!
* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daktari Daktari]]''.
* "It takes ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'' to move the world."
* In France, Soap Opera viewers are probably considered morons, since most soap dubs get a TitleThemeTune (most notably ''Series/{{Dallas}}''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oldqeUcPrE]] and ''Santa Barbara''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj2Azxfq-aQ]]).

* "HEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWW! Hee hee hee haw haw haw! Series/HeeHaw!"
* ''Here's How'', an obscure EdutainmentShow seen on a limited number of PBS stations and also on [=TVOntario=]. "When you want to know how things really work, here's how, here's how. So much for us to learn about, lots to see and do. So follow us, we'll show you now, here's how, here's how!"
* The last two seasons of the Tom Bergeron version of ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'' turned Teena Marie's song "Square Biz" into one of these. ("Everybody get up.. it's the ''Hollywood Squares''!")
* "It feels like a party every day! Hey, ''Series/{{Jessie}}''! Hey, Jessie!"
* "She's a doll, she's a queen, she's a tantalizing teen, and ''Karen'' is her name..." Performed by [[Music/TheBeachBoys The Beach Boys]], no less.
* "We'll call it ''Series/{{Kidsongs}}'', tapping our feet. Soon everybody's gonna get to / everybody will get into the beat."
* "You can do what you wanna do... ''Series/InLivingColor''"
* Parodied by the theme to ''Series/ItsGarryShandlingsShow'': "This is the theme to Garry's show/The opening theme to Garry's show/Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song..."
* "You are now watching ''Series/MADtv''."
* "...and plunged them down a thousand feet below, to the ''[[Series/LandOfTheLost LAAAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!]]''
** "...now we've crossed the line, falling though time, living in the ''Series/LandOfTheLost!''"
** "''Series/HRPufnstuf''! He's a friend when things get rough! H.R. Pufnstuf! Can't do a little 'cause he can't do enough!"

* "''Series/{{Moonlighting}}'' strangers who just met on the way."
* Beginning in the eighth season of ''Series/MyCatFromHell'', during the intro, a guy can be heard singing in the background "''My Cat From Hell''! / ''My Cat From Hell''!"
* "The flashy girl from Flushing, ''Series/TheNanny'' named Fran!"
* "You might think I'm actin' funny. Might not take me serious. You won't know you're winning money. 'Cause you are ''Oblivious''! Watch out for ''Oblivious''!"[[note]]A "hidden-camera game show" that once aired on Creator/SpikeTV.[[/note]]
* "We'll muddle through ''Series/{{One Day at a Time|1975}} (One Day at a Time!)''"
* The last line sung in the opening and closing credits of ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'' is the title.
* "'Cause we only have ''Series/OneLifeToLive''!"
* "''Series/{{Oobi}}'''s like me. Oobi's like you. Oobi has a lot of big things that he's gonna do."
* A variation of "Run On," the late '90s-early 2000s theme from ''Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow'', title-drops her iconic first name.
* "''Series/OutOfTheBox'' / Yeah, when you arrive... / ''Out of the Box'' / Pictures come alive / There's music in our hands and in pots and pans / ''Out of the Box'' / Oh, yeah / ''Out of the Box''..."
* Any sort of Creator/DisneyChannel show -- ''Series/PhilOfTheFuture'', ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'', ''Series/LifeWithDerek'', etc., etc.
** "Come on everybody, and ''Mousercise''! Let the music move you, till you're carried away..."[[note]]It was originally the theme to the record album also called "Mousercise" that was released the previous year.[[/note]]
** "Just ''You and Me, Kid''! We're quite a pair..."
** This is Older Than Cable. Notably ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' and ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color''.

* "Keep them dogies movin', ''Series/{{Rawhide}}''"
* "Kenny wasn't like the other kids... ''Series/RemoteControl!''"
* The International dubs of ''[[Series/TheSaint Return of the Saint]]'' has a bilingual vocal theme in French and English: "Here comes The Saint now, Watchin' The Saint now..."
* "Have you ever / Ever felt like this? / Have strange things happened? Are you going ''Series/RoundTheTwist''?
* "Reach for the words, reach for the story, follow the rainbow sun. To a ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' where dreams can come true. Waiting there for you."
* "Two ''Series/SilverSpoons'' together, You and I!"

* "''Hang about — Look out! For [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtymNiYlSD4 Super Gran]].''" (Song by Billy Connolly.)
* ''Series/TattooedTeenageAlienFightersFromBeverlyHills''. Since it was a [[FollowTheLeader/LiveActionTV Power Rangers knock-off]], it repeated the words over and over after explaining the premise.
* Diamonds, daisies, snowflakes, ''Series/ThatGirl''!
* "That girl, that girl, that girl, ''Series/ThatGirlLayLay''!"

* Also parodied by ''Series/TheTomGreenShow'': "This is the Tom Green Show/It's not the Green Tom Show/This is my favorite show/Because it is my show!"
* A French exemple for a Japanese series: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M61KVtVZwfw San Ku Kaï]]'' (a.k.a. ''Uchu kara no messeji: Ginga taisen''). Also true for the Spanish version: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr8dGMcUKzQ Sankuokai]]''.
* ''Series/TheWeirdAlShow'' theme tune also appeared on his ''Running With Scissors'' [=CD=] (unfortunately, long after Creator/{{CBS}} canned it).
* ''Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'':
-->"Tell me, where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Stop her crime, and solve the mystery!"
* "Get us out from under, ''Series/WonderWoman!''"
* Two game show themes with lyrics: ''Series/TheWizardOfOdds'' (NBC, 1973) and ''Series/{{Monopoly}}'' (ABC, 1990).
* ''Series/GetSomeIn'' included the series title ("some" referring to National Service, the compulsory two years' military service for healthy males aged 17 to 21 in Britain between 1949 and 1960) as part of a rallying cry: "It's time for National Service, lads, so get some in! / They'll tell you "no" if you ask your dads to get some in..."
* If you live, or have lived in Peru, or other countries where it was broadcast, you may or may not remember this:
-->¡"Sube, a mi nube, ''Nubeluz''! ¡S-s-s-sube, s-s-s-sube!"
:: The English version from the one-off pilot is equally catchy[=:=]
-->"Nube, nu-nu-nube, Nubeluz! Nu-nu-nu-nube, nu-nu-nu-nube!"\\
"Ay-oh-Ay! Ay-oh-ah! [[SpellingSong N-U-B-E-L-U-Z!]]..."
* This occasionally happens in Spanish-language telenovelas as well; too many examples to mention.
* "Pee-Wee's so excited! (Uh huh!) 'Cause all his friends have been invited! (That's you!) Go wacky, at Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse! (UHHHH!)..."
* "...and you and me are Free to Be...You and Me."
* "... oh-oh-oh, looks like we made it, for Series/KidsIncorporated!"
* "She's a ''Series/SmallWonder'', lovely and bright and soft curls. She's a Small Wonder, [[RobotGirl a child unlike other girls...]]"
* "...I'm at ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati''!"[[note]]This especially makes sense, since it's meant to (at least slightly) resemble a radio jingle.[[/note]]
* "Hello, hello, hello! Hello, hello, hello! Hello, hello, hello! It's time for ''Xuxa'' and her friends!..."
** "Eo, eo, eo! Eo, eo, eo! Eo, eo, eo! O Xou da Xuxa[[note]]"Xou da Xuxa" ("The Xuxa Show", with "X" pronounced like "SH") was the name of her show in Brazil at the time.[[/note]] começou!..."

* Series/WelcomeBackKotter sort of does this.
--> "Welcome back. The dream was your ticket out..."
* "Take a look! It's in a book! A Series/ReadingRainbow!"

* "All your friends are here, we're good to grow, so won't you come and join us on ''Series/TheSunnySideUpShow''? Sunny Side Up, Sunny Side Up, Sunny Side Up Show!"
* "So let's go, let's go to ''Series/TheLetsGoShow''!"
* "If you want to know he eats or breathes, and other science facts (la-la-la), [[TropeNamer Repeat to yourself]] [[MST3KMantra 'It's just a show, I should really just relax]] for [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mystery, Science, Theater...3000]]'."
* A long running Japanese TV variety show called "Waratte Iitomo" (loosely, "It's Okay to Laugh") does this in its theme tune:
-->"Jikan doori ni COME WITH ME / Waratte Iitomo / Uki uki watching..."
* "[[Series/ChicoAndTheMan Chico]], don't be discouraged. [[Series/ChicoAndTheMan The man]] came so hard to understand..."
** A straight example occurs near the end:
-->"I know things will be better. Oh, yes they will for Chico and the Man / Yes they will for Chico and the Man"[[note]]Even though it funny he don't understand, yeah...[[/note]]
** The ending theme as well:
-->"When times are hard! Chico and the Man! When times are hard! Chico and the Man..."
* "Rock! Rock! Rock'n [[UsefulNotes/RollerDerby Rollergames!]] Rock! Rock! Rock'n Rollergames! Rock! Rock! Rock'n Rollergames! Rock! Rock! Rock'n Rollergames!..."
* "Series/DearJohn, Dear John, [[DearJohnLetter by the time you read these lines, I'll be gone...]]"
* "Ding dong, knock knock, hey nanny noo! Bing bong, tick tock, bee bop boom! Flip flop, up up, meenie miney moo! Bompity stompity ''Series/RomperRoom''!"[[note]]This later went on to be used for most if not all of the locally made versions of the show as well.
* "Ik ben ''Series/KabouterPlop'' en samen met mijn vrienden. Kun je me altijd in mijn paddestoeltje vinden".[[note]]"I'm Kabouter Plop, and together with my friends, you can always find me in my mushroom."[[/note]]
