Replay Episode (with added surprises!)- E27 Favorite TV Show Theme Songs with Mutlu (songwriter, musician, singer) The List: A Right Fiction Podcast

- Music Commentary
I’m quite old now, but I can still remember all the words to many of the theme songs from the shows I watched growing up. With most of them, I might not have heard them for at least 25 years…. Yet I can remember all the words, melody, and instrumentation for these shows… While this might mean that I watched way too much TV growing up (which is true), it also might mean that the theme songs for these shows were much more than just filler to introduce the show. They were a key ingredient in what made these shows successful in the first place. They set the mood for the show and were a cleanser of sorts for the ads or whatever you were doing before you sat down to watch. In other words these TV show theme songs were very important to your whole television experience AND in many many instances these songs were amazing pieces of music as well.
So, with such an important topic we’ve invited a noted TV Show Theme Song Scholar to Join us on the pod today to discuss our Favorite TV Show Theme Songs. Welcome Mutlu!
Mutlu is an internationally known singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. His music is steeped in Philadelphia’s deep R&B traditions, eagerly absorbing the fundamentals of old-school soul music and incorporating it into his own musical persona. He’s collaborated and toured extensively as a support act with legendary duo Daryl Hall & John Oates and he’s also gained considerable attention for his work with noted singer-songwriter Amos Lee, with whom he’s toured extensively as a support act and backup vocalist. In addition, Mutlu has shared stages with the likes of Adele, Katy Perry, John Hiatt, Leon Russell, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Todd Rundgren, Shuggie Otis & many more.
His latest album “Good Trouble” was released in 2019 and is an amazing record featuring his eclectic songwriting and stellar vocals. He also has a new venture with Spike Eskin of Right To Ricky Sanchez with their new music podcast - The Carl Landry Record Club - where they discuss their favorite albums and turn people on to new music.
