Evolution Of The 'Friends' TV Theme Song - 1920s to 1990s - ft. The Rembrandts

I KNOW we said we were on a break, but sometimes news of a #FriendsReunion falls right into your lap and you just gotta go with it...so here's our "Evolution of the FRIENDS Theme Song (I'll Be There For You) Through The Decades," starring our incredible Postmodern Jukebox family and featuring The Rembrandts (the guys that made the theme song) themselves!

Speaking of decades, happy 10th birthday to Postmodern Jukebox & thanks to all our amazing fans for being there for us, too;)

Somehow, I was expecting a grunge or R&B cover for the 90s. I had completely forgotten doing it like the original was an option. And getting the original artist was amazing!

When the Rembrandts appeared at the end and I heard them sing I actually felt nostalgic for a show I never watched.

There’s happy and then there’s tambourine guy happy.

[mareksison]

RIP Matthew Perry. Went back here to remember him 💕 this is The One Where we Lost a Friend. You’ll be missed

[casuallykenzie]

New life goal: become as happy as tambourine guy

[wabysaby]

Me to the waiter: I'll have what the tambourine guy is having.

Sees Tambourine guy:

THE RETURN OF THE KING

This is a PMJ medley of sensationalness. So many of the best performers all together to go through a variety of styles. It's amazing!

[jedknight]

PLEASE do a full version with the 1950's guy. That is pure gold you're spinning.

[Aquila]

I love how you can see the complete delight in the other’s faces when the Rembrands show up and play the original.

[electroswingfan]

I lost it when the smoke came out for the 80's power ballard style... Fantastic!

[crazymonkey]

The fact that the 90s is now considered Vintage is strange.

[cursendra]

I got teary eyed when The Rembrandts started playing the starting verse.

[catnerdadrian]

For some reason the "ft. The Rembrandts" part didnt register for my brain so that was a nice surprise

[TheDarkstormy]

Just the grins on everyone's faces when The Rembrandts take the stage. Made my day.

[altman]

Nice to see that the 80's belong to Queen.

[HolyGarfield]

Man, I wanna be as as Mr. 1950s. Also, THE ACTUAL REMBRANDTS. Carry on, PMJ!

[joannemccaffrey]

Full of appreciation and admiration for everyone else but tambourine guy is the only one I care about being there for me <3

[Raguleader]

Me, around the 1980s: "Wait, wouldn't the 90s version of the Friends theme just be the Friends theme?"

Rembrandts: *take the stage*

Me: "Oh, right."
