You beat me to it.

Speaking of Harry Nilsson, he wrote quite a few songs for these fellas (but not this one, this was by Boyce & Hart) - the theme for The Monkees (this was their regular theme song, peppier than the pilot theme song Peter P posted earlier):

btw, that's not the original video! Just the song. I think there was a Monkees remake? Pre-fab-Pre-fab Four!

And of course, their end credits theme ('For Pete's Sake'), written by Peter Tork:

A bit of a 12 bar but Maggie Bell delivers it rather well.

You picked my #1 choice Rob. The MASH theme is a classic. I heard that so many times, I actually taught myself how to play it on acoustic when I was a kid.

This is a close 2nd though
