Songs are funny things because once you attach them to something, you can't help but think of that something whenever you hear the song. This was especially true this past summer when I was watching the Olympics on NBC and every time they took a commercial break, I had the sudden urge to watch The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr. Now, why, you may ask, would the Olympics make me want to watch a show from 1993 set at the turn of the 20th century starring Bruce Campbell? The answer, my friends, is that NBC's Olympic broadcast played a snippet of the show's theme song whenever it went to a commercial break, and it's done that for the last several Olympics.
And speaking of songs that make me think of other songs, The NFL On Fox theme always makes me want to listen to "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson. I blame it all on the part of the theme that sounds remarkably like the "Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go," part of the song. (Maybe it's just me. It probably is. I make weird connections like that all of the time.)
