Génériques de l'enfer (theme songs from hell)

Q: What's worse than the theme songs from crappy prime-time TV action shows?

A: The theme songs from crappy prime-time TV action shows in French.

Item: Starsky et Hutch



Huggy Bear evidently translates as "Huggy Good-Pipes"; whether that refers to his excellent singing technique is unclear.

Item: The Fall Guy (aka L'homme qui tombe à pic)



Totally loses the brilliance of the English lyrics:
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.
I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.
Item: The A-Team (aka L'Agence tous risques)
What do you mean there are no lyrics? Regardez! Ecoutez!



Avec Monsieur T dans le rôle de Baracuda. This also gets the prize for sounding most like a local ad for a cut-price grocery store.

That is all.
