So I’ve always had a weird obsession with TV theme songs, like I used to literally record them off the TV as a kid. On cassette no less, haha!
It got me thinking, how good are people actually at recognizing them quickly?
Some you instantly know in a second or two, others stay right on the tip of your tongue, even though you totally recognize it.
What do you think are the easiest TV themes to identify immediately? And which ones feel like they should be easy but weirdly aren’t?
I started putting together a little timed challenge for myself around this, and it’s been way more humbling than I expected.
