Is there anything better than a theme song that will let you know exactly who the characters are, and why they are there. You could be a Martian who just landed on Earth and heard 40 seconds of the Beverly Hills theme and think “These rednecks are a fish out of water in Beverly Hills. They are going to be having some confusing hi jinks.”

1. Beverly Hillbillies

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed.  A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.  Then one day he was shootin at some food, and up through the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed’s a millionaire, Kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”. Said “Californy is the place you ought to be” So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin. And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in. You’re all invited back a gain to this locality.  To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.   Y’all come back now, y’hear?. (via lyricsondemand)
