Hello everyone,
Every soap opera obviously has its own unique name and they also obviously have their own theme songs. Today I am going to talk about these names and songs and hopefully give you a little more of an insight on both.
We’ll start with the names. You have to admit there are some pretty interesting names for soaps. As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, One Life to Live, and Guiding Light just to name a few. There are so many different soaps on TV yet they all have names that are related to the same kinds of things. I know that they are shows that are about everyday life and you pretty much are living in these people’s lives but I think they could maybe become a little more creative with their names. They all pretty much relate or refer back to living life, the children, how people act, things of those sort. My personal favorite that makes me laugh every time would definitely How to Survive a Marriage, why on EARTH, would you take a soap operas advice on how to survive a marriage. That has to be the silliest idea I’ve heard in a long time. The show however didn’t last very long only aired for about a year, but it still makes me laugh. So next time you hear the name of a show on daytime television that refers to any of those things I mentioned before, you can almost bet that it is a soap opera.
As for the theme songs, they are pretty recognizable, for some reason whether we watch soaps or not, we know a few of their theme songs. Go to the following website TV Soap Opera Theme Songs and listen to the examples they have there and see how many that you can recognize or at least say that you think you’ve heard before. I am willing to bet that there are more there than you would expect. My favorite soap theme song would probably have the be the Passions song, or what it was I guess, as the show is no longer a go, with The Young and the Restless in a close second. The Passions song was just so catchy and I would always sing along with it!
