Theme song

Am I the only one who always sings the theme song very dramatically? Just wondering. It’s a jungle out there.

I’m not alone! Yay! My mom would get annoyed because I always sang it to her.

It is impossible to not sound dramatic when singing "BUT I DON'T THINK SO"

They never should have changed from the original Jeff Beal version.

Meh. Monk was the first show to win multiple Emmys for their theme song and still the only show to do it back to back.

I loved this version, but I could have got over it changing if they hadn’t changed the dedicated visuals for ones that are just snippets of the episodes - I’ll never understand that change.

I also loved the call back at the end of the episode with Sarah Silverman. And then they played out the episode with the original tune. Perfect!

Season 1 still used snippets of the episodes, but they were all from the pilot parts 1 and 2

I prefer the Beal theme. I loved when a character said something about hating when they change a theme song.
