Cheers
 
Had to share this. Hopefully it's inspirational. One of my earliest memories is the Cheers theme song and I was kind of sad it's associated with a bar. Looking the lyrics up online, though, I'll be damned if it's not far more descriptive of an AA meeting! No mention of alcohol or a bar. Anyone agree or am I just crazy?

"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.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name."

I love the song....and I believe it came first before the TV show :)

I guess there's a potential trigger warning here but...the full version has some funny lyrics...

You're not crazy at all! I like this theme song, thanks for reminding me of it.

Here is the Simpsons' riff on Cheers and that theme song. Warning, some people might find it a potential trigger or offensive:
