History's 150 Best TV Theme Songs

From:  Boy Culture
#66
"Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow" by Sammy Davis Jr.
Baretta 
1975—1978

Not too many theme songs qualify as art, but this one sure does, a funky blend of disco and soul that was every bit as cool as the Robert Blake used to be before he went nuts. That squeaky, rubber on rubber intro just kills me. What is that??? (Parts of this remind me of the later '80s pop hit "Ain't Nothin' Goin' on But the Rent".) The song only hit #101 on Billboard's Hot 100 as "Baretta's Theme".
