rob morrisonTGIF - mr. cooper theme song evolution written by overtime on 03/07/08
gonna have some fun, show you how it’s done - TGIF!
hangin’ with mr. cooper had three different theme songs over its 5 season run. let’s go through them:
season one (’92): this theme was sung by en vogue and is probably the best remembered version.
season two (’93): a cover of the song soul man. i guess they wanted to show that cooper had soul.
seasons three-five (’94-’97): they finally settled on this james brown sung version. feh.
no offense to the hardest working man in show business, but i think they should have stuck to the original song. it’s much more memorable, and they could have updated the sound of it to feel more late-90s, rather than change the whole song. in my mind, cooper will always be “oh so cool.” yo coop!
