The Theme Song

How much do you know about the opening theme song? Not just that there is someone whistling, but what else? Well, it was made by Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer. The person you hear whistling the song is Hagen. A musician by the name of Everett Sloane wrote the lyrics to the song.

That was a waste of lyrics because as you may know, the lyrics were never used on the series. If you recall from earlier about how we said Andy Griffith was a musician, well, he actually made a song that used the lyrics of the song and you can find it somewhere on the web.
