The best television theme songs of all time: “Wednesday”, “Stranger Things”

“Do you have a secret, can you keep it?” These are the lyrics that start the theme of the mystery series Pretty Little Liars. The song, entitled “Secret” by the Pierces, plays while the four liars (played by Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell) are shown around a coffin and hold their fingers in front of their mouths for the iconic “Shhh”, with Aria (Hale) specifically in close -up (with the well -known shot “Shhh”). In the second half of season six, Alison de Sasha Pieterse was added for the intro.

Benson discovered the melody and showed it to its casting members while they were shooting the pilot in Vancouver.

“At random, I was on Spotify, and I was on a reading list, and one in one way or another entered my shuffle,” said Benson The Hollywood Reporter in an interview linked to Pll15th anniversary. “I said to myself:” It’s so weird. And I just passed in front, then I put it back, and I listened to the words.

Halfway through the shooting of the pilot, Benson launched the song to the creator of the series, Marlene King, because she was convinced that the track should be the theme music and remembered King: “I don’t see any other song being the song of the series.”
