Here's a fun fact: It's impossible to watch the Olympics without getting NBC's theme music lodged in your brain. Cutting to commercial? Cue the music! Coming back from commercial? Cue the music! No wonder people are turning to Yahoo! Search for more information on the song they can't escape.

Over the past week, we've noticed a 50% jump in searches on "olympic theme song." Lookups are also rising for "who wrote nbc olympic song" and "download olympic theme song." That last term strikes us as a bit crazy. Why download a song you can hear hundreds of times a day? And as for who wrote the tune, the honor goes to the great John Williams. It's called "Summon the Heroes," and according to the always accurate Wikipedia, Mr. Williams composed it for the 1996 Games in Atlanta.

Seeking to expose our readers to more themes than just the omnipresent Olympic tune, we went ahead and assembled the most searched-for theme songs from the past week. From the Olympics to the Jeffersons, from the WWE to the Golden Girls, they're all here and just waiting to get stuck in your head.
