VOTD: Awesome TV Theme Song Medley
By Krystal Clark
Every once in a while YouTube produces some jewels from unknown talent and thanks to a tip from one of our readers (Colin), I’ve come across this awesome video that includes a medley of TV theme songs and openings by Two Fredriks. Not sure if it’s one guy who doubled himself or a set of twins but either way he/they do a great job. You can hear everything from “The Simpsons” and “Two and A Half Men” to “Scrubs,” “Firefly” “The Office,” “Charles in Charge,” and of course “Friends.” Check it out…
I for one have always been a fan of TV opening themes, and this video was really music to my ears. It includes plenty of shows from my childhood as well as some before my time, and they’re all dead on renditions. The only thing that could have made this arrangement a little better is if the theme from “X-Men The Animated Series” was included, but that’s more of a kids show and this group is filled with adult comedies and dramas.
Here’s the full list of songs listed and the minute marks they appear at during the video…
- 0:01 “Two and a Half Men”
- 0:22 “The Simpsons”
- 0:36 “The O.C.”
- 1:00 “Naruto”
- 1:11 “Family Guy”
- 1:41 “Married with Children”
- 1:57 “Cheers”
- 2:16 “That 70′s Show”
- 2:41 “Big Love“
- 2:58 “Freaks and Geeks”
- 3:18 “Malcolm in the Middle”
- 3:35 “The X-Files”
- 3:55 “Firefly”
- 4:09 “The Office”
- 4:24 “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”
- 4:44 “Scrubs”
- 4:54 “True Blood“
- 5:27 “Charles in Charge”
- 5:38 “The Big Bang Theory“
- 5:55 “How I Met Your Mother“
- 6:05 “Mission Impossible”
- 6:14 “Friends”
What do you think of this TV theme rendition? Which song is your favorite?

It's defiantly only one guy, as the left figure has no shadow.

He goes by FreddeGredde and his username is Freddie25 on Youtube. It is one person, but he pulled this off with some creative editing. He often does record several tracks but he normally boxes them off brady bunch style. His musicianship is impressive, check him out.

I don't think that he did that good of a job on making the medley because they aren't seamless at all. Every time he switches themes there is an abrupt change. That being said, it was nice to hear all those themes together like that. Great concept and good performance, but I think that the arrangement could be better.

It's too bad his voice sucks, he has no talent, and regular people have the ability to compliment him on his terrible ability. Once again, youtube shows that what's popular does not have any bearing on real musicianship or who has paid their dues, put their work in and cares about music. This kid bought a high quality camera and microphone and recorded a medley of tv themes.
