WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME {Theme for CHEERS} (by Gary Portnoy: Tube Tunes, Volume 3 – The 80’s)

SUMMARY:                                           RUNNING TIME: 2:35 Min.

By original artist/co-writer Gary Portnoy, it’s the extended theme song of NBC’s 1982-93 sitcom, Cheers.  The track is # 9 on Rhino Records’ 1995 compilation album: Tube Tunes, Volume 3 – The 80’s. 

REVIEW:

While the minute-long version for the TV series is fine as is, it’s practically bland in comparison.  Gary Portnoy’s witty, full-length version sprinkles in cynical tidbits of timeless, everyday humor that any beleaguered adult can relate to.  The familiar Cheers melody holds up remarkably well, but the additional verses Portnoy subtly includes in the lyrics are a hoot.  Definitely well-played!
