Theme Song

Title: "It's Garry Shandling's Theme"
By: Joey Carbone, Garry Shandling, and Alan Zweibel

This is the theme to Garry's show,
The theme to Garry's show.
Garry called me up and asked if I would right his theme song.
I'm almost halfway finished,
How do you like it so far,
How do you like the theme to Garry's show?

This is the theme to Garry's show,
The opening theme to Garry's show.
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits.
We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle.
Then we'll watch It's Garry Shandling's Show.

This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show.

Season 1 Review: Breaking television's "fourth wall" to talk to the camera is hardly a new idea; it dates back at least to Burns and Allen in the early '50s. But no TV show has ever provided such piquant Pirandellian commentary on the medium itself. Read full review
