How about a top 5 of reused songs (could be original or re-recordings by the same or different artists)?

Bosom Buddies - My Life

Crime Story - Runaway

Happy Days - Rock Around the Clock

Life Goes On - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

The Wonder Years - With a Little Help from My Friends

Simpsons certainly is iconic, but it's also carried by three ever-changing elements - Lisa's solos, the chalkboard and the couch gag. With the latter two being visual gags, it's easy to overlook the theme itself.

I did mention Batman: TAS though, which is also done by Elfman, playing off of his score in Batman. Flash '90 also calls back to the Batman score, and I considered putting it into my Five, but I thought his theme for TAS better captured the essence of the main character.

Not including "Won't Get Fooled Again" would be...

Lots of classics here. My favorite modern theme is from the Good Fight. Both the music and visuals start off quiet and genteel, and then Boom - just like Diane Lockhart

I love many that have been mentioned here...
My two all time favorites, which have been mentioned, are Green Acres and Gilligan’s Island.
