Best comedy theme tune? Page 9
Is everyone allowed to add videos, or is this a case of 'them and us'? 
No need to reply, I know the answer...
You can add videos, just don't go overboard.
I'm surprised how much I like the Steptoe & Son theme tune. It's very slight but poignant and memorable. The Dad's Army one was cool at first but started to annoy me very fast. The Steptoe tune could become an all time favourite.

The company or the river? 
Heh. Both!
Although one probably has a few more dead bodies floating in it.

Both great and must be unique in sitcomland for being two different theme tunes for the same 30 minute show and the sitcom writer composing and singing them. That's proper sitcom creation the old way 
Filthy, Rich & Catflap had two different tunes as well; indeed an extravagancy for a 30 minutes sitcom.
If there was an easy way of finding out which other sitcoms had two tunes I'd look them up and post them, but not more than a relative trickle I'd guess, mostly from the 70s and 80s possibly. Citizen Smith and Dad's Army did and erm er... a few others. 
The closing theme of The Young Ones sounded a bit Benny Hill-ish but an original I think whereas the opening sequence was a cover of a Cliff Richard song.
A more recent example would be Saxondale; they used two different songs by the band Focus at the beginning and at the end.
Bottom and Red Dwarf had different tunes for beginning and end. I'm sure there's more.

House of the King, also brings back memories of Dr Magnus Pyke.
I loved the "Elvis" Red Dwarf theme over the ending credits of Meltdown.
As for regular theme tunes I really like the ones for 'Allo 'Allo! and Last of the Summer Wine, but my favourite would probably be the Brian May theme for the second series of Fun At The Funeral Parlour.
