10 Iconic TV Show Opening Credits You Will NEVER Skip

What else could it have been? Friends is, without a doubt, one of the biggest and best sitcoms around. It’s endlessly funny, rewatchable and easily quotable, which is why it still remains one of the most watched sitcoms on television today.

A big part of its legacy? The theme song. The Rembrandt’s “I’ll be there for you” has grown to be one of the most well-known songs, thanks to the influence of the show. When you hear the words “So no one told you life was gonna be this way?”, your mind instantly thinks of Friends. And if you’re a superfan, you probably join in with the clap every time (you know the one).

It’s a nostalgic tune and obviously very fitting for the show as it sings about the loyalty and companionship that comes within friendship. In short, it just isn’t an episode of Friends unless you listen to the song first.
