TV theme songs you hate (2 Viewers)

So, a while ago it did a favorite theme songs thread here:

But I realized there are a couple I hate. What are yours? Bonus points if it's from a show you actually enjoy, so you have to endure or fast-forward through it dozens of time.

Here are two I skip every time:

Monk: I think the show is great, and like a lot Randy Newman's stuff, but this song is terrible.

Justified: so many great bluegrass songs that could have worked well here, and they went with this stupid country/rap hybrid song. I can't click the "skip intro" button fast enough.

Don’t like Randy Newman, but It’s a Jungle Out There is the perfect theme for Monk.

I cringe every time I hear Randy Newman, but, I did like Monk. That's one I couldn't hit the skip "intro fast" enough on.

The Wire is probably my favorite series ever, but the theme song definitely had to grow on me.

(small tangent)

The creator of Monk, Andy Breckman, co-hosts a 1 hour show every Wednesday evening on WFMU - awesome free-form radio from NJ - with station manager Ken. Archives for the show go back 20 years.

The program formerly known as The Fuzzy Glove Hour, Whores, and The Happiness Hut. Ken and Andy, also known as The Enema Boys, further lower WFMU's already abysmal standards on a weekly basis. Stunt radio which subjects the radio audience to concepts and topics which mature adults should not have to endure. Find the fatal flaw.
