From The Sopranos to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, check out the stories behind the iconic theme songs for these eleven shows.

The new Spider-Man: Miles Morales may be the best Marvel superhero video game out so far.
“Miles Morales was underwhelming in 2018’s Spider-Man on PlayStation 4. He felt a little too juvenile and far too dorky, and it was never totally clear how he fit within this world.
