Show Tunes - Episode 13: Malcolm In The Middle by The Might Be Giants

Today, we’re diving into one of the most iconic TV theme songs of all time: the opening theme to Malcolm in the Middle.

You know the one— it’s upbeat, catchy, rebellious, and practically impossible to forget. You can already hear it in your head right now, can't you?

This barnstorming theme, composed by the legendary alt-rock duo They Might Be Giants, isn’t just another TV intro – it is doorway to the late 90s, early noughties.

Boiled down to just 30 seconds there’s not an inch of fat to be found in Boss Of Me. In fact, the song is so unforgettable that many folks will instantly sing along, even if they weren’t necessarily fans of the show, even years after the show’s last episode aired in 2006.
