Full Theme Song

The 'Family Guy' theme song, much like the show itself, is a satirical reflection on contemporary culture, contrasting it with the perceived values and entertainment of the past. The opening lines, sung by the character Lois, lament the prevalence of violence and sex in modern media, suggesting a yearning for the 'good old-fashioned values' of yesteryear. Peter, her husband, echoes this sentiment, questioning where those values have gone.

The song continues with various characters comparing past celebrities and entertainment with their modern counterparts, often unfavorably. Brian, the family dog, reminisces about the elegance of classic movie stars, while Stewie, the baby, criticizes contemporary celebrities. The references to 'Jenny Lopez' and 'Justin Timber-homo' are clear plays on the names of Jennifer Lopez and Justin Timberlake, using humor and parody to comment on the changes in celebrity culture. The song also takes a jab at modern cinema, with a direct reference to 'Matrix Revolution' and the Wachowski siblings, questioning the quality of current films compared to the 'classic films' of the past.

Despite the criticisms of modern culture, the chorus of the song presents the show's protagonist, Peter Griffin, as a beacon of joy and entertainment, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The song suggests that amidst the changes and perceived decline in cultural values, 'Family Guy' itself serves as a source of laughter and comfort, much like the classic entertainment once did. The humor is self-aware and self-deprecating, acknowledging the show's role in the very culture it critiques. The theme song sets the tone for the show's humor and its place in the larger conversation about media and values.
