'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' is the theme song from the 1980s televisionsitcomCheers. The song was written by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo and performed by Gary Portnoy. Shortly after the premiere of Cheers, Portnoy went back into the studio to record a longer version of the song that made the US and British pop charts. However, it failed to reach the Top 40 in either of those two.
The full-length version was made available on Portnoy's 2004 album Keeper. In January 2013, Argentum Records released a five-song EP to iTunes entitled Cheers: Music From The TV Series which also includes Portnoy's original demo version, as well as several earlier attempts by Portnoy and Angelo at composing the theme.
History[edit]
By 1981, New York songwriter Gary Portnoy had already written songs for the likes of Air Supply ('I’ll Never Get Enough') and Dolly Parton ('Say Goodnight'). One night in the summer of that same year, his friend Judy Hart happened to be seated next to a Broadway producer at dinner. Upon finding out that Hart was working for a music publisher, he asked her if she could recommend someone to compose the score for a new musical he was producing. On a whim, Hart, who had never written a song, approached Portnoy, who had never written for the theater. Together they set out to compose the words and music for the musical named Preppies.[1]
In the spring of 1982, Judy, now using her full married name of Judy Hart Angelo, sent a tape of Preppies' opening number 'People Like Us' to a friend in California, who then passed it on to television producers Glen and Les Charles. Upon hearing it they each felt that with a lyric re-write 'People Like Us' would be the perfect theme song for their upcoming NBC sitcom, Cheers. Upon learning that 'People Like Us' was legally bound to the musical Preppies, the Charles Brothers asked Portnoy and Hart Angelo to take a shot at composing a theme specifically for Cheers. The song that resulted, 'My Kind of People', was somewhat of a reworked version of 'People Like Us'. It was subsequently rejected.
Portnoy and Hart Angelo then wrote and submitted two more potential themes for Cheers. One of them, entitled 'Another Day', contained a lyric line 'There are times when it's fun to take the long way home' that greatly appealed to the Charles brothers. But overall, the song missed the mark and was passed over. The fourth song began with a catchy intro followed by simple alternating chords on a piano. The opening verse lines, both musically and lyrically, were something of a lament. The verse then transitioned into a soaring refrain that seemed to capture the essence of why people might want to go to a place like 'Cheers' — a place 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name'. The two songwriters recorded a simple piano/voice demo of the new song for the Cheers producers. Upon hearing it, the Charles Brothers gave it their stamp of approval, and once Portnoy and Hart Angelo had complied with a request for a few lyric changes intended to broaden the song's appeal to a more general audience, 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' was officially designated the 'Theme from Cheers'. The original opening verse:
- Singing the blues when the Red Sox lose,
- it's a crisis in your life.
- On the run 'cause all your girlfriends
- wanna be your wife.
- And the laundry ticket's in the wash.
was changed to:
- 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?[1]
After several months of mulling over possible outside singers, the producers eventually asked Gary Portnoy to record the vocal for the opening credits of their new series. (The chorus of the song is six of Portnoy’s vocals that he recorded one on top of the other to create the 'group sound' of the hook.) It was also decided to maintain the simple feel of the New York demo in the TV version by keeping the number of instruments to a minimum. The finalized version of the Cheers theme song was recorded on August 13, 1982 at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles, California.

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel hung the cat up by its tail
And your third fiance didn't show
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad, there's one place in the world
[Chorus]
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know, people are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
[Outro]
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

Theme Song From Cheers
Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers Theme) Video:
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
You roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
(The morning's looking bright)
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna go where people know (ah)
People are all the same (ah)
You wanna go Where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name
(Everybody knows, everybody knows your name)
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
(Everybody knows, everybody knows your name)
Where everybody knows your name
(Everybody knows, everybody knows your name)
