Iconic Television Themes

"I'll Be There For You" was written by David Crane, Marta Kauffman, Michael Skloff, and Allee Willis.  The song was performed by the American duo, the Rembrandts.  

"I'll Be There For You" is a pop culture legacy spanning two centuries - 20th Century (1994) to 21st Century (2004).  The advent of syndication allows for musical loops noting both the song, the duo, and the program itself.  I can only imagine the residuals received.


Genres considered - Pop Rock, Alternative Rock

Certified Gold in New Zealand
Certified Platinum in Australia, Norway, and the U.K.

Point of interest - The duo initially declined the offer to perform the song and the writers initially hoped for R.E.M. but when the band passed, the Rembrandts were the only option for Warner Brothers Records.
