Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name

This video from back when I liked Shaq and was blinded to his true nature, aka after the 2002 season shows him taunting Vlade Divac and the Sacramento Kings to the music of his ringtone and it reminded me of how much I really love that Cheers theme song
(from Fanhouse )


and so I tried to find, since it is one of the best and most famous theme songs ever, some parodies of it (though not included are the inside joke or too obscure even for me ones)


From the Flaming Moe's episode of The Simpsons


the Fatal Farm alternate Cheers Intro


an interesting animation style, not really sure about what the guy is doing with his voice but here is an (inevitable maybe regrettable) parody Queers


along those same lines here is fat and disgusting Artie Lange singing his Gay Cheers Theme

a Garden State trailer/ Where Everybody Knows Your Name mashup


This isn’t a parody but rather licensed version in Germany where the theme and show was called Prost Helmut

"Prost' is a German form of 'Cheers,' and Helmut is the name given to Norm, so the title literally translates "Cheers, Norm," interesting since George Wendt was not the leading part.

The theme is translated as follows:

To survive the everyday anger
Costs much time
If you work for hours
You're exhausted
Who doesn't want to get away from everything?

Then you search for a bar,
Where you feel at home.
And you can drink away our worries.
Where you meet your friends,
And talk, and drink, and drown your sorrows,
And be happy until the early morning.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

and here are the full lyrics to Gary Portnoy's "Where Everybody Knows Your Name"
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name

Roll out of bed, Mr Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

Such a great song
Are there any good tv theme songs left? I can’t think of a single one.
