I never watched Days of our lives, but that song when I was a kid bring back so many memories, mother cooking lunch for us after school. it just touches my heart every time I hear it. wonderful moments.
Did you know the guys who did, "I Wonder What She's Doin' Tonight," and, "I'm Gonna Blow You A Kiss In The Wind," wrote the Days theme, as well? They also wrote for other groups. Love them. I remember my mom ironing and watching Days.
I love the 2000's intro to Days of Our Lives. The slowly rising sun/light, coupled with the gorgeous twinkle-like music, the camera pulling back to reveal the hourglass... iconic. The only Daytime intro that rivals my love for it would be General Hospital's "Faces of the Heart" intro that lasted eleven years (1993-2004).
Grandma glued to the TV from 11:00 to 12:00 watching young and the restless as she chained smoked Virginia slims. I'd give anything to go back for just 1 day.
Bring back so many back to when I would come home from school and my mother would sit in the living room watching her stories or soap opera, my father would be at work. They both gone to glory r.i.p.
I always loved the GH theme with the flashing lights. Like when something big would happen and the light would flash in their face. I always remembered the "you take me away to another world" song when I was a kid. Days of our lives never changes much. I love that.
My grandma always watched GH and AMC, it would always be on right when I got home from school and I hated it because I wanted to watch cartoons. I love that I have this memory and miss her so much. I often listen to the intros for the nostalgia.
This was back when I was ADDICTED to soaps lol My favorites were 15, 14, 12,9,7,6,5,4 and 3. I also use to love the LOVING theme that came along I think right before it got cancelled. I think either Jeffery Osborne or Peabo Bryson sung that one. Thanks for sharing!
6:30 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Male. I loved this song! It makes me think that I'm at home on a weekday afternoon, probably during spring, winter or summer vacation. I thought this song would have an "ending," but my mother told me that "it keeps on cycling."
All My Children in 1992, The Young And The Restless in 1999, General Hospital in 2003, The Bold And The Beautiful in 1993, and Passions were my favorite theme songs
"The Young and The Restless" has irritated me for forty years for one reason or another, but I gotta say: it definitely has the ALL-TIME best theme song. No contest. Shoot, I even bought the "Nadia's Theme" 45 back in 1976. By the way, this AMC fan LOVED the promo clip! What a great f'ing story THAT was!
I feel a little sad but thankful to be alive cause so many people have died over the years these shows have been on these kids won't ever know what it feels like to sit and watch a soap opera likes these and hate a few of the characters and love so many of them time is flying and we getting old old and old and old
Back in mid 90s I used to turn the tv on just to hear the theme for The young and the Restless and then.. not watch it. The one played at #7 here, wich should have been 1st place by the way. But the best for me is.. from a Mexican soap opera from 1993 called Corazon Salvaje. The non singing version. Look it up under Corazon Salvaje 93 - Entrada Instrumental, you will love it. The story and acting of the two main characters is also amazing.
I would replace the AW choice with the 75-81 classic theme, and the 81-87 theme, and the GH choice with the classic Ambulance racing to the hospital and Autumn Breeze!
Ok as a boy I remember the HELL we caught if we didn't turn off the Atari so Mom could watch these (x.x.) Her missing her soaps was punishable with death.....
Original AMC and DOOL themes were really pretty. Also like the late 70s version of The Edge of Night theme. Very moody and Film Noir like, fit the show perfectly.
I only know about "Another World" because Rue McClanahan was a cast member of the show in the 1970's. Rue portrayed Caroline Johnson; the cook for Patricia and John Randolph as the nanny to their infant twins Marian and Michael Randolph. Rue described Caroline in her 2007 autobiography "My First Five Husbands... and the Ones who Got Away" as "The best nanny in all Christendom; and one Hell of a great cook to boot."
DAYS should be #1 it's the only theme never really to have changed. Granted, the visuals of the hourglass might have changed, but it's always been the same theme, with Macdonald Carey's voice. The only time it changed significantly was during the Melaswen storyline...CLASSIC!!!
Hello All! I am about to create another Soap Opera Theme Video for 2019. If you have any favorites that you feel deserve to be on the list, create a top 5 and check back later this month to see if your favorites made the list. Can't wait to hear your feedback! Thank you very much!
Why sunset beach not on the list they put the same soap on the list more then once you saw g.h,aw,amc,oltl,&y&r more then once why sunset not on there yeah it was on 2 or 3 years but still your talking about Aaron spelling the the biggest director of prime time soap & sunset beach it was daytime soap it did had good theme song
What i liked was the complier had an All My Children promo before revealing the #! theme in this video - and the promo featured Michael Nader (may he RIP) - also portrayed the original Dynasty's dashing Dex Dexter and in the late 1970's Kevin Thompson on As the World Turns.
Most of the themes were either the original composition, or an updated version. Multiple themes from General Hospital(who just tweaked its composition),All My Children, Another World, One Life to Live, and Guiding Light as if they couldn't find a theme and stick to it General Hospital's contribution was also an updated version of their iconic theme, but the original theme was higher up on the list, but the in-between version was higher. Young and the Restless theme was known as something else before it was known as Young and the Restless. Another World's theme song was on the charts.
This is a gyp where is LOVING!!!?? I loved that theme song since I was a kid. Someone else has to remember the LOVING theme song... Some of these shouldn't have even been on the list. Channel 6 (AMC, OLTL, and GH) all deserve to be here 👏
I never watched Days of our lives, but that song when I was a kid bring back so many memories, mother cooking lunch for us after school. it just touches my heart every time I hear it. wonderful moments.
Did you know the guys who did, "I Wonder What She's Doin' Tonight," and, "I'm Gonna Blow You A Kiss
In The Wind," wrote the Days theme, as well? They also wrote for other groups. Love them. I remember
my mom ironing and watching Days.
@OneDayAfterAnother i loved Another World myself
The late 90s Another World theme was really good. Had the look and sound of a primetime opening theme.
I believe it was inspired by the ER theme at the time.
I love the 2000's intro to Days of Our Lives. The slowly rising sun/light, coupled with the gorgeous twinkle-like music, the camera pulling back to reveal the hourglass... iconic. The only Daytime intro that rivals my love for it would be General Hospital's "Faces of the Heart" intro that lasted eleven years (1993-2004).

Amen!!! ...the women relaxing with thier coffee tea and cigarettes!!! ..great memories!

#13 Was my fave AMC theme. Remember when it premiered in 1990. I was 13 and still home from school for Christmas Vacation.
That was a great opening.
young and restless nadias theme opening is my all time fav
Well Days Of Our Lives Should've Been Number 1 And It Should've won a Daytime Emmy Too.
AMC OLTL AND GH SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 3
Yes! Period!
@@tiff_jones With Robin Mattson !! XD
I know right you would think they would
Exactly
My Mom loved watching All my Children.
My grandma always watched GH and AMC, it would always be on right when I got home from school and I hated it because I wanted to watch cartoons. I love that I have this memory and miss her so much. I often listen to the intros for the nostalgia.
I have been looking high and low for this classic commercial from AMC!! Thanks for the upload
RIP David Canary.. AMC..
ONE LIFE TO LIVE THEME SONG FROM 1987-1992. With lyrics was and my favorite next Loving and AMC 1990-1995
Yes!
Wow brings back lots of memories! Especially the General Hospital themes.
I grew up with AMC OLTL and GH... And would watch them with my mom when i was home from school. I miss those shows...
General Hospital is still on just All My Children and One life to live isn't and I miss them too
#12 was the BEST OLTL theme...
I love 2nd OLTL opening in the video.....cause you've only got ONE LIFE TO LIVE
FINALLY #4 -- I LOVE THIS...by far one of my top favorites !!!! Awesome theme song...
Pure Cheese!
This was back when I was ADDICTED to soaps lol My favorites were 15, 14, 12,9,7,6,5,4 and 3. I also use to love the LOVING theme that came along I think right before it got cancelled. I think either Jeffery Osborne or Peabo Bryson sung that one. Thanks for sharing!
Santa Barbara should have been on the list!
It is on the other list. Thank you for your comment.

Nick Poff I have the 45 of Nadia’s theme also
Surprised "Loving" wasn't on here.
Brad Brooks I swear I was about to say that lol 😂 thanks tho
_"The one thing we should treasure_
_Now and forever_
_Is L-O-V-I-N-G . . . "_ 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
*A stone cold jam!*
AMC 😭😭😭 I still miss that show
Guiding Light was my favorite soap opera until it was cancelled.
Wish they would have included Another World from 1975 to 81.
I feel a little sad but thankful to be alive cause so many people have died over the years these shows have been on these kids won't ever know what it feels like to sit and watch a soap opera likes these and hate a few of the characters and love so many of them time is flying and we getting old old and old and old
Great memories, love soaps ❤️👍
I miss All My Children TV will never be the same it's all about money now
It definitely will not be the same once the networks decide to cancel Y&R, B&B, GH and DOOL. Thank you for your comment.
@@eaglepay I definitely agree with you
I just wanna thank god for letting me see these again
"passions" and "y&R" are the most beautiful themes for a soap opera ever!
I agree passions forever
Passions and the bold and beautiful was the best soap opera of all time.
I put Days Of Our Lives at one and Young & The Restless at two.
Sunset Beach should also have been included.
@ 13:24 who is the singer from that All My Children promo? The song sounds very addictive!
and one intro was missing from OLTL, the baby blue background
That nasty mid 90s OLTL theme is something else 😂
Love it they had guilding lights yes
The Edge of Night theme from the early 1980's should have been on the list.
I think Sunset Beach's second season had a great theme too…even though it only lasted a couple of years.
U guys are sleeping on Another World. Another World music and theme is so 🔥
The original B&B theme song used from 1987 to 1995 puts all these soaps to rest. It was by far the best Soap theme ever!
I preferred the 1995-2000 theme. It sounded a lot better when they transitioned it to 41 seconds.
Sounded like cats screaming!!
Back in mid 90s I used to turn the tv on just to hear the theme for The young and the Restless and then.. not watch it. The one played at #7 here, wich should have been 1st place by the way. But the best for me is.. from a Mexican soap opera from 1993 called Corazon Salvaje. The non singing version. Look it up under Corazon Salvaje 93 - Entrada Instrumental, you will love it.

The traditional 80's ATWT...the gold standard ....hated the ones that came after...
Especially that hideous one with nature shots.
Was that Lien & Paul in the scene before the ATWT intro?? And I couldn't tell whom the 2nd girl was on the other side of Paul either.
This makes me chuckle. Respectfully disagree with rankings but absolutely love the presentation. ❤ great walk down memory lane
Sunset beach...another world...passions...one life to live...ryans hope...guiding light...
Wow No Santa Barbara or Search For Tomorrow. I like Search For Tomorrow from 1982-1985 theme.
+Scott Meckley They both are in the second video
Amen. I used to watch Santa Barbara like it was my religion.
Generations and Sunset Beach are better than half this list. As the World Turns looked so silly.
Ok, the person who made this list CLEARLY never heard of sunset beach! Please go give their theme songs a listen.
I've heard of and watched Sunset Beach, and I thank you for your opinion and comment.
I would replace the AW choice with the 75-81 classic theme, and the 81-87 theme, and the GH choice with the classic Ambulance racing to the hospital and Autumn Breeze!
YES MrDaysfan82, I agree!
I loved Another World new theme!!!
I liked the new theme also, however 75-81 is my absolute favorite!
I saw Trevor St. John and Michael Easton eating in a restaurant once.
The selections are spot on!
General Hospital is my favorite soap opera.
Young and the Restless Nadia's Theme (regardless of the sketches or the live people) should have been #1 without a doubt!
#11 Guiding Light...wow...i remember that playing everyday when I walked in the door from school...
The GL theme reminded me of a Night Time soap like Dallas, very cool
Awesome soaps all around. Only 3 remain today. The 4th one is on the streaming app, Peacock.
Days of Our Lives should be #1. So iconic, basically unchanged after all these years.
Fact... Like how the F, did some get multiple spots & DAYS gets 1?!?!! Must be the same jack ass's that do The Daytime Emmy Awards...
My favorite Soap Opera out of them all is OLTL💯💚❤️ I love and miss that show so much! They should have never cancelled OLTL!!
Hopefully Another World is on here, and Generations!!!
Actress Rue McClanahan was on Another World.
Personally, my favorite theme song for soap operas of all time is the Love of Life final opening.
That was a nice one!
I remember watching this show along with All My Children and One Life to Live on television.
Ok as a boy I remember the HELL we caught if we didn't turn off the Atari so Mom could watch these (x.x.) Her missing her soaps was punishable with death.....
That As the World Turns combined with Metamucile is great. My whole life feels smooth.
THE EDGE OF NIGHT should have taken the TOP SPOT!!!!
All My Children should have been #1.
Thanks for the remember of the good song
Sorry, but the original ATWT opening from the 60's should have been number 1. That was the most historical soap reference ever
Peabo Bryson's the man!
Ryan's Hope should be Number 1 ! Numero uno !
I loved Passions it was my soap, I want it back still. Now I watch General Hospital since Passions and All My Children are gone.
Liza Huber Susan Lucci’s daughter was on Passions.
Why don't they have a soap called Another General World is Guiding With All My Children on The Edge of Life.
because that is every soap
I love it!
My mother loved Ryan’s Hope.
Good Memories Forget Hate Please
Original AMC and DOOL themes were really pretty. Also like the late 70s version of The Edge of Night theme. Very moody and Film Noir like, fit the show perfectly.
Thanks for posting. :)
Guiding light lighthouse was the best.Whatever happened to that book from All My Children?
I only know about "Another World" because Rue McClanahan was a cast member of the show in the 1970's. Rue portrayed Caroline Johnson; the cook for Patricia and John Randolph as the nanny to their infant twins Marian and Michael Randolph. Rue described Caroline in her 2007 autobiography "My First Five Husbands... and the Ones who Got Away" as "The best nanny in all Christendom; and one Hell of a great cook to boot."
DAYS should be #1 it's the only theme never really to have changed. Granted, the visuals of the hourglass might have changed, but it's always been the same theme, with Macdonald Carey's voice. The only time it changed significantly was during the Melaswen storyline...CLASSIC!!!
I love soap operas
Loving should have been #1.
Hello All!
I am about to create another Soap Opera Theme Video for 2019. If you have any favorites that you feel deserve to be on the list, create a top 5 and check back later this month to see if your favorites made the list. Can't wait to hear your feedback! Thank you very much!
Came here for the Young And The Restless Theme. Sweet satisfaction
Another World theme is so 🔥
Why sunset beach not on the list they put the same soap on the list more then once you saw g.h,aw,amc,oltl,&y&r more then once why sunset not on there yeah it was on 2 or 3 years but still your talking about Aaron spelling the the biggest director of prime time soap & sunset beach it was daytime soap it did had good theme song
Original Young and the Restless from 70s much better !
wish AMC and Ryans Hope were on the internet
i would love to rewatch them
ryans hope one of the best themes ever how could you rank it so low
"The Edge of Night" 77-80 or 80-83 should have made this list.
man some great soap theme music on this list 😃🔥🙌💚
What i liked was the complier had an All My Children promo before revealing the #! theme in this video - and the promo featured Michael Nader (may he RIP) - also portrayed the original Dynasty's dashing Dex Dexter and in the late 1970's Kevin Thompson on As the World Turns.
Thanks for sharing and compiling. I don't agree with the number 1 and some of the order but it is matter of opinion. Either way great compilation

so much great sound in this video 😃🙌🎉💚
I miss Santa Barbara
i miss OLTL passions and all my children
wow! I would MUCH prefer the 80's theme song version of Another World. The original version is MUCH BETTER. This one is ok.
never mind.. I spotted it lol
I absolutely agree with you
This is a gyp where is LOVING!!!?? I loved that theme song since I was a kid. Someone else has to remember the LOVING theme song... Some of these shouldn't have even been on the list. Channel 6 (AMC, OLTL, and GH) all deserve to be here 👏
Days of our lives hasn't changed in almost 30 years
Young and Restless, One life to live, and General Hospital ❤️👍. General Hospital Autumn Breeze version
Oh I remember this theme with the EMS going down the road. EMS is not to play with. Only if it is dire.
