So I recently heard, after many years, the theme song to The Adventures of Pete and Pete. If anyone doesn’t remember this show, please look it up here. The band that wrote the song is called Polaris and wrote the whole soundtrack for the show. It’s actually some really good early 90′s indie rock. I’d say it’s a bit like an amercanized Stone Roses.
The title track for the show is called ‘Hey Sandy’ and I absolutely can’t get enough of it. It’s a short song but they say catchy songs tend to be sit around the 2:41 mark. Or so my friend tells me. Dopper Topper is apparently quite knowledgable about this kind of stuff.
I’ve had a sudden need to watch the series again because I used to watch it so much as a kid. I’m pretty sure I didn’t get half the jokes and I can safely say the show has contributed to my current sense of humor and personality. It’s a very random show, but it does it in such a unique way that you just can’t get enough.
If you haven’t heard the song I’m talking about here’s the intro video to The Adventures of Pete and Pete:
