Punky Brewster Theme Song

1984-1988

Soleil Moon Frye is now 33 years old.

The theme song for Punky Brewster, as the chorus suggests, is entitled “Every Time I Turn Around.” It was performed and co-written by Gary Portnoy, who is known to have sung probably the most famous theme song of all time—Cheers‘ “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” Both themes were written by Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo.

Punky Brewster theme song lyrics

Maybe the world is blind
Or just a little unkind
Don’t know

Seems you can’t be sure
Of anything anymore
Although

You maybe lonely and then
One day you’re smiling again
Every time I turn around
I see the girl that turns my world around
Standing there

Every time I turn around
Her spirit’s lifting me right off the ground
What’s gonna be
Guess we’ll just wait and see

Watch & listen

Cheers Theme Song

The theme song from Cheers is entitled “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” It is also sometimes credited as “Theme from Cheers (Where Everybody Knows Your Name).” The song was performed by Gary Portnoy, and was also written by him with Judy Hart Angelo. It was released as a 7″ vinyl single in the UK. While the song was made for the series, it amassed enough success that Portnoy recorded a full-length version of the song and included it in his 2004 album entitled Keeper.

Lyrics (show edit)

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name

You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows
Your name
