I was watching an episode where Simon sings it and my parents walked in while I was watching Adventure time and they were like "Why is the Cheers theme song playing?"
“Making your way in the world today.. TAKES EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT! Taking a break from all your worries.. SURE WOULD HELP A LOT! Wouldn’t you like to get away… where everybody knows your name.. Where everybody…” Damn man, Simon’s backstory hits hard.
Brings back memories of my childhood. My grandparents to use to watch this show every night after sending us kids to bed. I remember hearing the theme song from down the hall and would listen to it as I fell asleep.
I remember around the time the show ended in 1993 they did reruns around dinner time and my grandma used to have it on TV, my grandparents used to own a little deli/mini mart with a little TV and it would be on. I just remember the ending credits.
+RossOriginals I seem to recall listening to the extended version and then wanting to pretend I never heard it. hehe. I don't remember specifically what was said but I remember not caring for it. :-/
15 years old Watching this in my bedroom on a school night with what i thought at the time were real worries . . . I never had anything to worry about they were the best years of my life.
God, I grew up with this show. 'Seeing' it again in Adventure Time really hit home and made me cry. So many memories. What a great show, and intro. ;~;
waittt how is this comment 10 years old unedited and mentioning how it was in adventure time?? unless there was an adventure time episode w it too that i dont remember and not just in fionna and cake
What a beautiful song! I sure hope it doesnt have any tramautic implications for a man who was forced to spend thousands of years under the influence of a magical artifact that grants the user immortality at the price of their own sanity and sense of self
makes me wanna cry listening to this.....reminds me of how many people are gone out my life and how thankful I am to be able to post this comment on this day! blessings to all!!!
I'm from Russia and I'm among the handful of Russian people who ever watched that show, especially in English without translation. I remember it used to be aired here in 90s but it was always showed at 2 AM when most of the people were sleeping, so it has never succeeded here like Friends or Big Bang Theory, that's why I had to download all seasons from piratebay later to watch it entirely. Because of the memories about this show every time I visit any bar I always expect that in several seconds Norm will enter in and everyone will explode in joy with "NORM!!!", unfortunately that never happens, but I never loose my hope :)
@@craignelson9045 Now we must hate Russia, right? The talking picture box told me that Russia is bad and Ukraine is good. The mainstream media, 90% of which is owned by 6 corporations, told me so.
Same here! I'm the fan in Japan, but I'm the only person who's watched every single episode in this small island nation. F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Big Bang Theory are more like international shows which you can enjoy or be entertained even if your native language is not English.

For many, it was characters like Norm, Frasier & Lilith that brought you here. And more recently, it was characters like Simon, Marceline & Fionna. Regardless of how you were introduced to this gem of a song, I think it’s pretty neat that it holds so much importance in two entirely different shows-decades apart!
i still get a little emotional when i hear this song. it speaks to basic needs that are the same for all people: the desire to be accepted, loved, and appreciated. i'll always love the show and the song.
+Rish Fish Classic comedy...you guys missed ALOT!. I was in Boston many years ago at this no name bar and sitting across from me was a guy who reminded me so much of Cliff Claven I swore they based the character on him
+D. Belle Oh, seriously watch it. One of the best written sitcoms of all time, that's not a hyperbole. I was a kid when the show was on it's original run, so the jokes went right over my head. As an adult I watched the re-runs, and was blown away. There isn't a sitcom today that can touch it.
True. But Fraiser hit on the changing times, it was a seamless transition from the 80's to the 90's with cheers and Fraiser.The other actors andactresses successes were directly tied to cheers. Kristy, Long, Norm, Nelson they were mega stars. Cheers was for rising talent in the 80s what mash was for those in the 70's. Saddly after cheers there was never again a true analogue of it. No one show afterwards gave rise to the level of talent Cheers did.
BrownBrother27 Yep. The guy named Brandon Tarikoff who was responsoble foe Cheers, 227, cosby, Golden girls and A Different World were the shows that revived NBC in the 80s.
The A-Team, Knight Rider, Riptide, Hunter, Miami Vice, The Golden Girls, Hill Street Blues, Family Ties and Saturday Night Live also kept NBC alive and rescued them from failure in the 1980s. As far as comedy goes, NBC would have been unpopular if they had rejected Cheers!
My mom said when I was a little kid, every time this song would come on when the show came on, that I would drop what I was doing and start dancing to this song. I couldn't help it, this song just brings me immense joy, still to this day at almost 35 years old!
That's Jim McDuggansly, famous drunken Irishman from New York. He holds the 1896 NYC record for most pints of Guinness consumed in a single night (and still being alive next day).
The reason for that is that Fionna Campbell takes places in Simon's subconsciousnes. In Simon's real life (in Ooo) Cheers is the only sitcom he has available in his 20th Century Human Zoo.
When my dad passed away in 2019, we had a celebration of life at Everybody's, a sports bar up in my area. It was his, and my, favorite restaurant. I should've ended it with this song.
I love reading some of these comments! Literally took the words out my mouth. Ever since the show has been released on Hulu, I would literally only play the first episode just to hear the song. This is probably the most nostalgic song in history after seeing these comments! Someone said it makes them happy and sad at the same time! EXACTLY!!! It literally brings me back to my childhood years. Hearing this theme song come on at night, back when family was everything. Back when love was real. My dad is longer here , he passed away from cancer. But Everytime I hear this song, it's like being Ina time machine, 7yrsld on the couch begging to stay up a little bit later so I can hang with my dad and watch tv. Mannn, they tell you how fast life is and to appreciate your youth. But when you're young all you wanna do is grow up and be free from restrictions lol Damn, look what a song can do.. Literally getting chill's thinking about all this nostalgia. Much love to all! ~1 love~ ❤️😁
Beautiful comment. This was my bedtime show as a kid, too, 5-6yo...sometimes I'd go to bed right after the intro song, sometimes I'd stay up and watch with them. They'd turn off the lights and we'd watch in the dark. I loved the song so much, even if I couldn't understand most of the comedy.
When I was a kid I knew it was bedtime when this show came on. Yet I always knew the intro song because my dad would stay up and watch it. Now that I'm an adult I thought about the show and just finished the series on Netflix. It's an amazing, talented, and very well made show.
how old were you? I was 4 when the series ended but I remember the late afternoon reruns somewhere around that time. For me, the end of Jeopardy! signaled bedtime haha. God I wish I could've been an adult in the 80s.
We just went to the Cheers bar in Boston, and I stood on the corner and recorded a brief video clip that matched the very beginning of the Cheers theme from the show, including cars driving by. Brought back great memories from the show. It’s a shame the inside doesn’t look like the actual bar from the show, but my wife and I shared a couple of drinks, I got a Cheers mug and T-shirt while I was there.
It's a good theme song but it sent me into a slight depression whenever I heard it as a kid. It's got a bit of the melancholy about it, especially when combined with those old photo stills
I know what you mean. I remember hearing this as a kid and it made me sad.. I was only about 7 yrs old but I was already wanting to go back to a simpler time.. if that makes any sense..
Used to watch this and Hill street blues with my big brother, miss him and our nights watching tv. Would give anything to be that kid again. Go and listen to Hill Street blues too.
The song just relaxes me. Just for a moment I feel like I'm a kid again. The long version of this song is nice, but the way it was edited for tv is perfect. Thumbs up to the person that edited it.
This lovely theme song touches the heart as it expresses a hidden desire that many of us didn't realize (or want to admit) that we have... It lightly touches that hidden sadness but, brings such joy to hear. I loved this song even as a young child. The lyrics, instrumentals and vocalist , together, create a song that's timeless. I love it!!!❤❤❤
I never watched this show as a kid but saw these opening credits every day that signaled the end of the preschool age kid shows airing on that channel. Understanding these lyrics as an adult, I can see why this show is a classic. Today more than ever, I think we all need to take a break from the Internet and find a place like this to go once in a while.
Still get goosebumps when I hear the theme tune from "Cheers" .. Friday nights at my gran n papas after collecting the paper money .. Chinese food, Cheers, Golden girls then Roseanne ., them were the days them were ❤️
I remember one evening after dinner i happened to be flipping through channels and caught a glimpse of a Frasier episode. It caught my attention, started watching from the beginning then I learned that Frasier is actually a spinoff of Cheers. Then I proceeded to binge through both shows. By far my 2 favorite sitcoms
I loved this show as a kid and if you were born in the 80's-90's generation you should feel damn proud you saw shows like this coming up that were the best!!
I remember when I was a little kid in the early 90s I was in my room At night time this song was on the television I heard it from my room It took me to another place a special place in my heart
Here's a known facts about the opening credits: John Ratzenberger's picture is called "Saturday Night at a Saloon" by Russell Lee in Craigsville, MN Nick Colasanto's picture is the Horseshoe Saloon in Junction City, KS. The picture right after Ted Danson's and Shelley Long's picture from the 1-3 season is Rudy John's Barbershop in Junction City, KS
I just want a place like this. Somewhere where I can be my own person. Where I can leave family problems, work, etc. at the door and just relax and truly be myself. I still haven't found a spot like that and at this point never will. But watching reruns of Cheers and even Frasier give me that little bit of a glimmer of happiness and for that I am eternally grateful
The song was perfect. Simon, a ordinary mortal, attempting to wield a powerful magical relic through sheer willpower. It showed that "making it in the world 'today' takes everything you got". As he fought, he knew he couldn't give into the crown and take "a break from all his worries". Sadly, for all his efforts, Simon was only human; he had forgotten Marcy's name as well as the final words of his song reminding us that he is drifting from his humanity "where everybody..."
When I was a kid, I watched this show in syndication after my parents went to bed at 1100pm on WPIX 11. I loved this show so much I actually moved to Boston as an adult and lived there for 9 years. Thank you gang at Cheers for inspiring a 7 year old boy to began his adult life in one of the best cities in the world!! Cheers!!!
This is one of my favorite shows. Kirstie Alley was definitely a great actress in this show. She may be gone but the acting in shows and movies she left behind will be in fans’ hearts forever, myself included. She’s now with some of the shows members in Heaven R.I.P😔😇🙏❤️💐
When this show was on the air back during my teenage years in the 80's I thought it was okay but it was not one of my favorite shows. For some reason when I listen to the intro now it gives me chills and I think its the best theme song ever written. I'm not sure why it affects me that way now but I suppose the song takes me back to a better time in my life so many years ago. .
Growing up in the 80s I can say I loved the look of the dude at 0:53 The Smug look he have with his tuxedo and bowler hat slightly tilted while holding up his glass of brandy
I remember I would always fall asleep to this song. My father would always watch it right around the time I would drift off to bed as a little kid. This song actually brings a comfort feeling.
One of the best theme tunes of all time. Amazing memories of being a kid, i used to ask my parents if i could stay up a little longer just for the theme tune.
I remember watching reruns of this when I was 6 late night on Nick @ Nite and one picture that always struck me was the last bloke holding the beer and has that smirk on his face. It looks like he's enjoying life with his friends, with his beer, and having such a dandy time. That's always stuck with me because it used to air back in the 90s. Knowing that was how life was like in the early 1900s!!! Good memories :)
Never watched this show a day in my life, but I remember this intro from TV guide and it would wake me up late at night when I went to sleep with the TV on, this intro is so good and catchy ...
"Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience "
😂😂😂
Well, Zork and Pals is filmed before a death studio audience.
😂😂. Remember that line very well 👌🏻
Every channel it’s cheers no other show 😅
Norm!
The greatest bar song that's never played at a bar!
Yes it is! A DJ I worked with would play it as the last song to get everybody out
I feel like this would be the best karaoke song
Yes
It played in how I met your mother bar
It’s always sunny is a close second
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE CROWN WITH THIS ONE
The nostalgia somehow makes me sad and happy at the same time...
MushroomVortex “don’t you wish you had claws?” Andy Andy
Me too
The word you are looking for is melancholy.
Yeah,same. Like for me it's the idea of it being sad that it's in the past but happy that it happened to begin with.
That’s nostalgia for you
Never knew Simon was singing an actual theme song in Adventure Time 😂
SAME😭
It was an actual show lol
The last episode in fionna and cake is also called Cheers
Same fr
I was watching an episode where Simon sings it and my parents walked in while I was watching Adventure time and they were like "Why is the Cheers theme song playing?"
That smug ass looking guy at the very end is the fucking best. He's like, "Yeah I am drinking and I am drunk and I don't give a fuck."
He's he's mocking snotty people..
Pip pip
Dude's just loving life. I always liked that guy.
The last show my grandpa showed me before he died, what a legendary show.
When did he die? What is his name? We must know.
Sorry for your loss, sadly I never had a grandpa, I had a grandmother whom I watched old shows like this with her.
Crazzy cool
“Cheers” and “Mash” my Grandpa could watch all day.
Damn
“Making your way in the world today.. TAKES EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT!
Taking a break from all your worries.. SURE WOULD HELP A LOT!
Wouldn’t you like to get away… where everybody knows your name..
Where everybody…”
Damn man, Simon’s backstory hits hard.
Brings back memories of my childhood. My grandparents to use to watch this show every night after sending us kids to bed. I remember hearing the theme song from down the hall and would listen to it as I fell asleep.

That sounds so lovely ((:
Kenzi Corvis yea the song is so beautiful that it sounds like a la la bye
Hearing you mate...i have similar memories. Same with Hill St Blues theme song
Sounds like a nice lullaby to me
"You have to keep it together, Simon."
*"For her."*
Always brings a chill to my spine. Best theme song ever.
Agreed. Gives me goosebumps. I love it.
Me too
this one tied with MASH
the MTM show theme is right up there.
Now if you happen to be at a bar, everyone has their face in their phones.
RIP Kirsty, sleep tight
This is seriously one of the nicest songs ever! :)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Big Bang Theory are more like international shows which you can enjoy or be entertained even if your native language is not English.

We're better than our governments. Much love from America.
For many, it was characters like Norm, Frasier & Lilith that brought you here. And more recently, it was characters like Simon, Marceline & Fionna.
Regardless of how you were introduced to this gem of a song, I think it’s pretty neat that it holds so much importance in two entirely different shows-decades apart!
i still get a little emotional when i hear this song. it speaks to basic needs that are the same for all people: the desire to be accepted, loved, and appreciated. i'll always love the show and the song.
The ONLY theme song I’ll NEVER EVER SKIP!!!!!
The cozy feeling I got as a teen when the themesong started.
Facts
The most vintage intro for a TV series EVER!!!!!
Escobar Salvador ~ Baretta is up there too!

its a good show lol on Netflix

I can't believe Frasier was just as popular as this. The producers and creators of both struck gold- twice!

Hands down one of the best theme songs ever made
This and The Cosby Show were the two shows that kept NBC alive. Man, I would definitely go back to the 80s if they ever invented a time machine.
I think the Golden Girls also helped NBC stay alive.
BrownBrother27 Yep. The guy named Brandon Tarikoff who was responsoble foe Cheers, 227, cosby, Golden girls and A Different World were the shows that revived NBC in the 80s.
I have a time machine it's called DVD
Gera WallStar right? I totally agree although I didn't watch cheers. But, I did watch the Cosby show every Thursday night.
The A-Team, Knight Rider, Riptide, Hunter, Miami Vice, The Golden Girls, Hill Street Blues, Family Ties and Saturday Night Live also kept NBC alive and rescued them from failure in the 1980s.
As far as comedy goes, NBC would have been unpopular if they had rejected Cheers!
Why do I like this song so much? I love it!

The Cheers Adventure Time cannon and it’s the only show on tv
It was canon a long time ago. In one of the episodes, Simon sings the intro.
The reason for that is that Fionna Campbell takes places in Simon's subconsciousnes. In Simon's real life (in Ooo) Cheers is the only sitcom he has available in his 20th Century Human Zoo.
I didn't realize Cheers was real

and now it's gone, right when my mom and I had just started season 6. It's on Peacock or some such nonsense now. Super irritating.
Man does not get any better than this 40 years unreal very sad and happy to play this
I grew up watching re runs of Cheers and I loved them even if I was a bit too young to grasp the show early on.
The theme is just perfect!
Makes me miss my dad. I used to watch this with him as a kid all the time! I sure miss those days.
I’m so damn happy and sad at the same damn time. I don’t know whether to smile or cry…such great times. I miss em.

This and M.A.S.H.
Most great comedy is somewhat bittersweet and has an undercurrent of sadness.
The full version is *incredibly* bleak.
Used to watch this and Hill street blues with my big brother, miss him and our nights watching tv.
Would give anything to be that kid again.
Go and listen to Hill Street blues too.
Reminds me of being very young in the 80s, its like an oldie that puts me on a really peaceful mindset. Reminds me when times were good.
The song just relaxes me. Just for a moment I feel like I'm a kid again. The long version of this song is nice, but the way it was edited for tv is perfect. Thumbs up to the person that edited it.
This is my childhood! My goodness. I distinctly remember cheers being on television for the first ten years of my life. Always on channel 4.

You'd have to be born in the 70s. This show came out in 1982 I believe.
@@Dynamatrix2000 yea, it did. I started watching this show in the late 80s.
I am today years old when I finally figured out that Simon was singing this to Marceline
THATS WHY IM HERE 😂😂😭
This hits differently today.
Rest in Peace 🕊️ Sweet Princess May flights of Angels carry you to thy Rest 💜.

The last guy they zoom in on is the iconic image of the show for me, plus the logo of course. Good show, always watchable.
The nostalgia when you heard this on the television before school.
I remember when I was a little kid in the early 90s I was in my room
At night time this song was on the television I heard it from my room
It took me to another place a special place in my heart
Here's a known facts about the opening credits:
John Ratzenberger's picture is called "Saturday Night at a Saloon" by Russell Lee in Craigsville, MN
Nick Colasanto's picture is the Horseshoe Saloon in Junction City, KS.
The picture right after Ted Danson's and Shelley Long's picture from the 1-3 season is Rudy John's Barbershop in Junction City, KS
Simon Petrikov
Currently learning this on piano. Beautifully written melody and chord progression.
How's your progress, my nigga?
@@derp8575 I got it down okay, but ended up selling my piano.
@@BadDreamFucker That made me sad.
I just want a place like this. Somewhere where I can be my own person. Where I can leave family problems, work, etc. at the door and just relax and truly be myself. I still haven't found a spot like that and at this point never will. But watching reruns of Cheers and even Frasier give me that little bit of a glimmer of happiness and for that I am eternally grateful
I feel like everyone can connect with this song. Whether being somewhere you’re generally accepted or a place where all your troubles go away.
The last episode of fiona and cake is called Cheers im in despair
What is Fiona and cake?
This song gives me goosebumps
The song was perfect. Simon, a ordinary mortal, attempting to wield a powerful magical relic through sheer willpower. It showed that "making it in the world 'today' takes everything you got". As he fought, he knew he couldn't give into the crown and take "a break from all his worries".
Sadly, for all his efforts, Simon was only human; he had forgotten Marcy's name as well as the final words of his song reminding us that he is drifting from his humanity "where everybody..."
I was born 4 years after this show ended, but watching it makes me feel nostalgic.
When I was a kid, I watched this show in syndication after my parents went to bed at 1100pm on WPIX 11. I loved this show so much I actually moved to Boston as an adult and lived there for 9 years. Thank you gang at Cheers for inspiring a 7 year old boy to began his adult life in one of the best cities in the world!!
Cheers!!!
What show was on at 10:30?
"Making your way in the world today takes EVERYTHING you've got..."
That makes MOST of us for sure!
This is one of my favorite shows. Kirstie Alley was definitely a great actress in this show. She may be gone but the acting in shows and movies she left behind will be in fans’ hearts forever, myself included. She’s now with some of the shows members in Heaven
R.I.P😔😇🙏❤️💐
When this show was on the air back during my teenage years in the 80's I thought it was okay but it was not one of my favorite shows. For some reason when I listen to the intro now it gives me chills and I think its the best theme song ever written. I'm not sure why it affects me that way now but I suppose the song takes me back to a better time in my life so many years ago. .
Growing up in the 80s I can say I loved the look of the dude at 0:53
The Smug look he have with his tuxedo and bowler hat slightly tilted while holding up his glass of brandy
The perfect theme song. Its why people go to their spot. Familiarity and comfort. Not family but more than friends. A place you matter.
I remember I would always fall asleep to this song. My father would always watch it right around the time I would drift off to bed as a little kid. This song actually brings a comfort feeling.
Classic!! Loved this part of my childhood!
I remember watching this with my grandfather as a child growing up. It bought back memories of a point in time we shared. That we no longer share.
hold on, it actually existed? WOAH
A great song for a legendary tv show.
This reminds me when I was 3 or 4 living with my grandma at her house 😭
This song makes an entirely seperate fandom nostalgic, which is honestly very impressive
The one show from the 80s that belongs in the conversation for greatest show ever.
That guy at the end just looks like he got it made
R.I.P Kirstey Alley 😢
The feels I get from remembering as a kid when my parents put this show on during dinner.
Love this song. Brings back so many memories.
I wonder how many people discovered this show and this song through Adventure Time. Probably hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions.
Doubtful. Cheers was bigger than adventure time could ever hope to be, whatever that is
One of the best theme tunes of all time. Amazing memories of being a kid, i used to ask my parents if i could stay up a little longer just for the theme tune.
I remember watching reruns of this when I was 6 late night on Nick @ Nite and one picture that always struck me was the last bloke holding the beer and has that smirk on his face. It looks like he's enjoying life with his friends, with his beer, and having such a dandy time. That's always stuck with me because it used to air back in the 90s. Knowing that was how life was like in the early 1900s!!! Good memories :)
Never watched this show a day in my life, but I remember this intro from TV guide and it would wake me up late at night when I went to sleep with the TV on, this intro is so good and catchy ...
