Sometimes, it isn't just a random song from an episode that hits just right.
Sometimes, it's the theme song.
Take this song, from the 1981 series The Greatest American Hero. Starring William Katt and Connie Sellecca, and I guess William Culp, and created by the legendary Stephen Cannell, it would last for three seasons... and the theme song was inspiring.
Joey Scarbury's biggest hit peaked at #2 on the greatest American pop charts in 1981, being kept from the top spot by the juggernaut that was "Endless Love". Steven Geyer wrote the music, with producer Mike Post providing the music.
Of course, the tune would be repopularized by George Constanza's answering machine on Seinfeld.
