Cracking tune, by Nerf Herder wasn't it?

I'm ashamed to say, my uni band covered that back in the day.

This may be cheating a bit, since it's basically the movie theme song

An absolutely brilliant show. Jedburgh and Craven sitting in the fallout shelter singing Time of the Preacher is another great scene in that if we’re talking music.

Don't think we've had this one yet, one of many classics from the 60s. And if you don't like the theme, then there's Diana Rigg

This tune was good. Composed by Mort Stevens who wrote the Hawaii Five-O theme.

And this had Angie Dickinson in it.

^ A very fine theme that usually heralded 30 minutes of deepest tedium, but occasionally a rather inspired spoof. I believe it's still going?

Country Calendar? Yes. I find the show wonderfully calming and relaxing. The latter seasons are better with NZ producers diversifying into interesting markets and practices.
