The Andy Griffith Show Theme
Theme music for The Andy Griffith Show
"The Andy Griffith Show Theme" is the theme for the 1960–1968 CBS television sitcomThe Andy Griffith Show. It was composed in 1960 by Earle Hagen, who also performs the whistling heard in the theme.

Its success resulted in widespread demand in the United States for a commercial recording. In 1961, actor Everett Sloane wrote lyrics for an expanded vocal version of the theme, which in this guise was renamed "The Fishin' Hole".
Television music scholar Jon Burlingame called the theme "a classic of musical Americana".
Background
[edit]Earle Hagen's involvement in The Andy Griffith Show, which occurred during the most productive years of his career,[1] resulted from his professional relationship with Sheldon Leonard, whom he met in 1953 while working on Make Room for Daddy.
Leonard, the show's director and executive producer, eschewed the era's typical use of stock music for incidental use in television programs, a practice he compared to being like "wearing someone else's underwear".
