Do you know the "It's a Small, Small World" Theme from the ride of the same name at Disneyland? Try singing that. It will get the Mad Men theme completely out of your head, but it's actually worse. It's just got stuck in one of your brain synapses, see? Or play some Death Metal, like Slayr.

Try humming or singing that Amy Winehouse song they played a lot during the first season promos....

...."you know that I'm no good.....you know that I'm no good..."

at least, like flower says, you'll have a different "ear bug" to contend with.....ha?

My suggestion is to listen to Ravel's "Bolero." Even though its theme is repetitive (and easy to remember) the orchestration is FASCINATING; not boring at all (I love it when the sax comes in!) If I have to have an "ear worm," it's one of the best.

I was the same way... I couldn't get those opening chords out of my head.

Gm---Dm---Gm---Gm

Gm9----Gm6---Gm9----Gm6

Dm

A7 add min9

Dm6

It was that Dminor sixth chord that tantalized me. One doesn't hear that chord anymore; very much a 1950's-style "Naked City spy theme" chord...

Then that evil major-second interval that the theme finally ends on, sounding both like a sneer and like someone drunkly seeing double....

This music is fabulous, you have to listen to the whole thing and you'll go MAD! It's by RJD2 entitled " A Beautiful Mind ". EXCELLENT. Please the shows intro is only a tease. It's perfect for this show, simply Perfect!

I stand to be corrected The song is entitled;
" A BEAUTIFUL MINE". You can listen to it on any of the music websites including You Tube.

My Bad. This should be the one!

Pinkpen, thanks for the link! "A Beautiful Mine" is so much more than an opening theme.
Check out "Work it Out" by RJD2 with Bill Shannon dancing; a truly amazing experience.

Yes, Pinkpen, thank you for posting the link - loved listening to this.

Greetings All! It's good to hear from you "Z". Yes, Yes 485Madison, all of RJD2 and collaborations are EXCELLENT. A very unique, talented and refreshing artist. I have been trying to get "A Beautiful Mine" as my ring tone. I love good music.
The incredible thing about the theme music is, it accents the shows dynamics and Draper's character. The Mad Men Machine is Awesome, they got it all together! I LOVE IT!

.....I've been wondering how the intro music or images are going to change as the series works its way through the decade..... some of those products are going to have to be substituted out.....

That theme music ("A Beautiful Mine") link-to-listen so kindly posted by pink, is the most perfectly matched music-to-opening credits of any show EVER, isn't it?

And, didn't the MM opening credits win some specific award?

If not, it should have! Love that beat...and the bongos are so perfect for the '60's!

Extensive visual effects were used to incorporate the protagonist into archived footage as well as for developing other scenes. An extensive soundtrack was featured in the film, and its commercial release made it one of the top selling albums of all time.
