You love TV and you love a good challenge, so here's a little trivia for you: NYC-based musicians KorenEnsemble have arranged over 15 TV theme songs into a two-minute instrumental medley that's not only lovely, but carries a built-in "guess that tune" game. Watch the video below to see the group's performance, displayed in split screen alongside the players' humble reenactments of the opening credit sequences that go with each song.
Pretty awesome, right? It's not nearly as jarring as you'd expect a medley of TV themes to be, due in large part to the uniform cover style and consistent pace. And while many of the songs will be instantly recognizable to avid TV fans -- I particularly enjoyed hearing the all-too-familiar Cheers intro -- there are some more difficult ditties in there, too. Well played, KorenEnsemble... literally.
Can you name all the songs in the medley? Post your best guesses in the comments.
