2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.
3. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.
Last week, after my CSNY post, a friend wrote and said..."What about TV Themes".
I was thinking about it all week. I watch a loot of TV. I tend to use it to 'leave the day behind', though there are some shows I have been fanatical about over the years.
Anyway, I decided to revert to my childhood...the 1960's. Some great TV came out of that decade and some incredible Themes that have become part of our culture.
I bet you can sing along to most of these..the words ingraved in the recesses of your brain.
Based on the original Goth cartoons by Charles Addams that ran for decades in the New Yorker magazine, The Addams Family television sitcom portrayed a monster family whose moribund physical appearances were counteracted by each family member's exuberance for passion and adventure.

New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas longs for a simpler way of life. So he buys a farm, sight unseen, and moves there to live off the land, much to the chagrin of his socialite wife, Lisa. The collision of small-town life and Lisa's sophisticated ways - she insists on wearing full-length gowns and ostentatious jewelry, even on the farm - provide much of the humor in the show.

Mister Ed belonged to Wilbur Post played by Alan Young, a young architect who had decided to move out of the city to get a little closer to nature. The rambling country home he and his wife decided upon came complete with a barn that doubled as Wilbur's office and a very talkative palomino named Ed. Problem was Ed didn't care to talk to just anyone, in fact he would only talk to Wilbur (the first human he'd ever met worth talking to).
