"Thank You For Being a Friend" on vh-1 classic:

[allen]

I was floored when I heard it. I had no Idea that it was a real song before it was shortened to become this show's theme. The artist's name was Andrew Gold.

[PaulaAbdulFan]

woah i never knew that either!:p well it fits the GG perfectly. LoL

[IamGGFan]

I agree...........it does fit TGG perfectly.:wave: :wave:

[Unwanted Angel]

:eek: I never knew that either...I really like that song.

And IAmGGFan i love your avatar! Rue/Blanche is my favorite charater on GG. :)

Apparently none of you were around in the 80's when that song came out. Andrew Gold's version is longer and much better. It was one of those one-hit wonders.

*JoyceDeWittIsMyAngel* Thanks for the compliment. ;) ;)



phoebe7165 I was around in the 80's, I just never knew Andrew Gold. I was born in 82 and I am almost 21 now. So, don't say, just because someone is around in the 80's means you know every famous actor or singer in the 80's. :talk: :cool: :cool:

Being born in '82 is not being around in the 80's. Do you remember 1985 when you were 3? No? Didn't think so. And I agree, because someone was around in the 80's doesn't mean they know every famous actor or singer in the 80's, but I DO!! That's why I'm the pop culture goddess. Don't even bother answering my post because I won't read it.

To quote the great Mrs. Edna Garrett...

Would you girls care for a bowl of Meow Mix?
:cat: :mumble: :cat: :mumble:

And Pheobe, I was born in '75, so I did "grow up" in the 1980s. And I never heard that song until TGG. I don't think it was a one-hit-wonder, because I don't think it was a big hit. One-hit-wonders are "Mickey" by Toni Basil, "Whip It" by Devo, and "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone. Those are songs that are recognized. If you played "Thank You..." it wouldn't be known for Andrew Gold, but TGG.

And that's my two cents...
