Can you sing all the lyrics to the Happy Days theme song?
Happy Days is the rare TV show to have its theme song reach the Top 5 on the pop charts. Actually, the sitcom technically had two theme songs complete that feat. Pratt & McLain's version of "Happy Days" rocketed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976.
This tune had replaced "Rock Around the Clock," the first theme song heard in the Happy Days credits. That classic rock & roll tune was once a No. 1.
You've seen the opening credits countless times. Let's see how well you can remember the lyrics — all of them!
-
The theme begins with singing the days of the week — but which day of the week is the first word in the song?
-
Fill in the blank:
"The weekend comes, my ______ hums" -
"Ready to ______ to you"
-
"These days are ours / Happy and _______"
-
"These days are ours / _______ them with me"
-
"Goodbye ______ sky, hello blue"
-
"'Cause nothin' can _______ me when I hold you"
-
"It feels so right, it can't be wrong / Rockin' and rollin' all _______ long"
-
And don't forget the rest of the full version:
"________, what a day / Groovin' all week with you!" -
"Hello sunshine, goodbye _______"
-
"She's wearin' my ______ ______ on a chain"
-
"She's my _______, I'm her man / I'm gonna love her all I can"
-
Of course, "Happy Days" was not the first theme used! The sitcom began with Bill Haley & The Comets' "Rock Around the Clock." See if you can fill in these blanks from that 1955 hit:
"Put your ______ ______ on and join me hon'!" -
"We'll have some fun when the clock strikes _______"
