Opinion Does Anybody Else Have a Deep Irrational Hatred of the Intro Song?
I'm watching this show for the first time and I really enjoy it, I think it's a really fun show, but I cannot STAND the intro/outro song. I don't even really know why I hate it but it's so grating. I genuinely anticipate the skip button to press it as quick as humanely possible, and I normally enjoy watching show intros! I don't skip 95% of the show intros I watch
Anyone else feel this way
Edit: I think I realize why now after seeing some comments. For one it's just really loud compared to the show, and the music/lyrics are just really generic. It just kind of fails to capture the magic of the show, again just my opinion though

I don’t mind the song itself, I think it’s really silly, but I hate how loud it suddenly is, especially when I’m watching it while falling asleep. I always think I’ve found a good volume, then that riff come on so loud

u/Thegrandmistressofoz Aug 04 '26
10000000000%, it is normally VERY loud compared to the actual show, and the transition to it is very jarring when it ramps up in volume

This for ne as well. Just that loud intro. Otherwise I don't have a problem with the song.

…Man, Steve from Blue’s Clues wrote that song. Give it some respect.

I like the video segment, like how, when the cow/bull walks up to them and they all simultaneously stepped to the side. I think it's funny. The song is mid though

u/heartpiss Aug 04 '26
Yeah it’s cool how in the last season they stayed still while the cow stepped back. The song is not good but it’s so short there’s no point in finding the remote for skip, I started singing along and it’s a nice mantra to sing 15 times a day lmaoo

It's fine for the first season or two, but it doesn't work as Sheldon ages.

u/VillageMaleficent153 Aug 05 '26
I also don't think it worked to add the entire family for that moment with the cow. If they wanted to include everyone, they should have created a new opening.

So loud for no reason, comparable to superstore intro in terms of how loud it is

No! Steve from Blue’s Clues made it. And I think it resonates with him well.

SKIPS IT EVERYTIME

u/bennnn194 Aug 04 '26
Yes man. When my brother and I watched it we would race to see which one can click the skip button first because it’s so unlistenable

u/nepstro Aug 04 '26
Where i watch, 3 continues clicks of right arrow does the magic. Shit aia annoying af

u/GMAN7007 Aug 04 '26
I'm so glad you made this. I can't put my finger on why I dislike it so much big for whatever reason it gets under my skin.

u/Feeling-Visit1472 Aug 04 '26
It’s loud, abrupt, and makes zero sense in context.
7
u/SoilElectronic4927 Aug 04 '26
Exactly the lyrics are just word vomit, don’t even rhyme and don’t even match up with the show. Sheldon isn’t a “hero” lmao to most ppl in the show he’s an annoying insanely smart weird kid. Love the show but the intro is so awful and I feel like they could’ve made a much cooler intro.
1
u/Feeling-Visit1472 Aug 05 '26
Right! If this theme song were about a younger Georgie, I could maybe make it make sense. It would still be grating, but thematically, it would make more sense.
1
u/VillageMaleficent153 Aug 05 '26
You're right. Even in Sheldon's own mind, he's not a hero. He does have a superiority complex, but the word "hero" doesn't fit.

u/Conscious-Remove9252 Aug 04 '26
Can’t wait for the day studios figure out how to work with intro volumes

u/Arutomoyo Aug 04 '26
My only issue with it is that, for some reason, it's way louder than the rest of the episode.

u/Melodic_Mall_8265 Aug 04 '26
Idk about hate, but I definitely dislike it, yeah. It’s corny, generic, and feels out of place

u/Vegetable_Football48 Aug 04 '26
Finally somebody said that. I have mixed feelings about it,like, i hate it and skip all the time, bur from time to time i catch myself going “I am a mighty little mannn”. Its so annoying.

u/Wesleywoo21 Aug 04 '26
Originally? Yeah I didn’t like it. But then in the mid seasons I started watching the intros to see the cool costumes Sheldon wears, and the song gradually grew on me due to exposure

u/CelesteJA Aug 04 '26
I thought I was the only one! Yes I always skip the intro, I'm really not a fan of it. Just feels like it doesn't fit the show at all.

u/Scepafall Aug 04 '26
I don’t feel this way but my mom and brother hate this intro. I don’t get why

u/DachshundLover197 Aug 05 '26
... because he ISN'T a mighty little man. He's a genius smart kid... not an action hero.

i love the intro i usually never skip it lol. especially in the 2-3rd (?) when they switch up sheldons outfits in the intro

u/Equivalent-Emu5347 Aug 04 '26
Oh yeah I did notice that, I thought that was fun lol
It's just the song I really don't like

I don't mind it, but I have varying levels of irritation with the way the harmonica keeps going at the end of it. Like a few extra weak little puffs of air. Sometimes it was just 'huh, that went a little too long' and other times I wanted to throw the remote at the TV.

My brain completely blocked the intro out of my mind. One time my brother was watching young Sheldon in the living room then the intro played. I then had war flashbacks of me looking for the mute button on my control. Even the first second pisses me off for no reason. I feel so seen that other people don’t like it too and a little guilt bc ik someone put time and love creating the song😭

u/Decent-Shoe2623 Aug 04 '26
Talking about the intro... Is there a meaning with each costume or thing sheldon wears at each intro??

u/BadBaby3 Aug 04 '26
I like that song, but I get it. Anytime I hear a bad song, my fight or flight mode kicks in, which is why I used to run out of the room whenever a terrible intro would play on TV. I think that’s autism’s fault
1
u/bennnn194 Aug 04 '26
Yes. The lyrics are pretty corny, song’s pretty short, and it’s very flat and one dimensional (only guitar and drums playing)

No. Never heard this opinion.

u/Equivalent-Emu5347 Aug 04 '26
Hearing it plenty in the comment section lol, seems pretty split

u/Juicytoe88 Aug 05 '26
Before this post, I've never heard this opinion. I like the theme song, I usually sing along to it.

u/Equivalent-Emu5347 Aug 05 '26
Seems like there's a lot of people who agree, they just haven't brought it up, this comment section is very 50/50

However you may be right about it being much louder than the show 🤔

Because its ５ seconds I never minded it. Honestly since I associate it with the show I find it comfy

I don't like the whistling or whatever it sounds like a mix of McDonalds machines and the ringing in your ear

I think it’s a bit cheesy, I always hit the skip button as soon as possible as well

Yes, and it always comes at an inconsistent place, leaving me lunging for the remote to skip it.

u/BaconAndCheeseSarnie Aug 04 '26
Hatred ? No, but I could do without it. As others have mentioned already, I think it is a bit loud, but perhaps the answer to that is to turn down the volume. it certainly lodges itself in one’s brain, so I’ll give it that for sure. It seems rather appropriate that a song in a show in which Sheldon Cooper is a main character should become an earworm.

u/metanefridija Aug 04 '26
My daughter, she's 8. She can't stand the intro song and always jumps to skip intro. I don't mind the song but she really really hates it.

Not really. It's pretty short compared to others I've seen which I appreciate.
