A while back I introduced you to the alternate Italian theme song for Mork and Mindy. Now I find that The Facts of Life also had its theme song replaced by a new song for its Italian-dubbed version, at least in the first season. Is this really what Italian pop music sounded like in the late '70s and early '80s?
But here's something even more shocking -- they replaced the theme song for The Dukes of Hazzard with a new Italian song called "Bo e Luke":
They didn't only record new theme songs for American shows, either -- here's the Italian theme of the British show "George and Mildred" (remade in the U.S. as "The Ropers"):
The Italian version of The Bionic Woman (the original) also appears to have had a different theme, not to mention a translated version of all the "classified information":

None of these are as great as that Italian "Mork and Mindy" song. That's just great fun to listen to.
They also added more action scenes to the opening of The Bionic Woman.
The Monkees recorded their TV theme song in Italian: "Tema Dei Monkees". It's on "Missing Links. Vol. 3".
None of these are as great as that Italian "Mork and Mindy" song. That's just great fun to listen to.
The Mork song, by the way, is called "Na-no Na-no" and is by Bruno D'Andrea. It still appears to be one of his biggest hits, and for good reason.
This is, of course, way off topic but I've been watching the second series of George & Mildred and by that time they changed both the original theme and opening/closing credits...much to my dismay. Even the Italian theme (which uses the first series' opening credits) would be an improvement over Series 2.
