- Theme to Paul Reiser's 1990s sitcom MAD ABOUT YOU, written by Paul Reiser & Don Was, performed by Paul Reiser (piano), Anita Baker (vocals), Kevin Eubanks (guitar) and the Tonight Show Orchestra. Little known fact; Paul Reiser has a BA in Piano Composition from Binghamton University. MAD ABOUT YOU starred Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt and ran from 1992 - 1999.
Best theme song ever. Mad about you is the show! Paul is doing his Thang on the piano!!!!!!!
No IDEA Paul Reiser co-wrote this song... what a talented guy! And Anita...you already know.
He’s so talented! He wrote the song, wrote the tv show/created it and produced it
Exactly. Ms Anita rules!!
Anita Baker is just perfection ❤
I remember this on the tonight show w/ Jay Leno..I always dug Paul Reiser so I was game..then when Anita came out I was sold..I'm so glad this is up b.c this was soooo good!✨🙂🙂🙂✨
Love Anita Baker
I was watching Mad About You on Amazon Prime when suddenly Anita Baker voice blows me away singing the theme song. She added a sexiness to it and made me appreciate the lyrics like never before.
My son and I have watched this show since he was 5 yrs old. 20 yrs later he bought the whole series on dvd
Anita Baker is looking as fine as anything, singing beautifully too- that voice!!!. Mr Reiser is talented.
Very nice! I have a new level of respect for Paul Reiser now :-)
They are very good 🐱☺️😊😊.
this is 1 of the best songs for a TV series. Anita & Paul killed it!
Yes
Never heard this but I just love Anita Baker.... Paul Reisee also played the hell outta that piano....Back ground singers and band on point as well... I can listen to this all day....
I love it 🤣😻❤️💓.
I always loved this song, and it was a treat seeing Paul Reiser play the piano as Anita Baker sang. Thanks for posting this.
Never knew this was her. I was watching on Prime and looked it up. Wow. I have more respect for Paul Reiser....he can really play the piano! Wow!!! This is how people made their millions. They did more than one thing. Wrote the shoe, executive producer, and came up with the theme song and PLAYED IT! WOW!
I never knew that Paul Reiser can play piano!! He is Phenomenal!! WOW!! I also have new found respect for him.
Never realized Paul played piano...was watching a rerun of "My two dad's" where he is playing piano, and realized he was really playing. New respect for someone I already thought was an incredible performer.
Amazing im the series of m douglas
Really genius comdey is as much timing, rhythm and delivery as the written joke. Most of the great comedians can play an musical instrument ... Their musical ears can hear the timing and rhythm and musical inflections needed in the delivery to put over a joke and elevate the funny words to a level of greatness.
Great comedy delivery is like playing a musical instrument ... but your voice is the instrument...
Charlie Sheen is the one that can't play a piano.
He co-wrote the song....
On one of the versions of this video there is an overlay that states that Paul Reiser has a degree in music composition and arrangement from I think Columbia U.
I am in love with Paul Reiser.
Unbreakable Lindi Schmidt me too..
@@dawnballard4553 same!! Lol

This was ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite theme songs! Queen Anita 👸🏾definitely upped the game with her version! 😍

My favorite female vocalist Jazzing it up. Thank You For Posting.
I want to listen to everything Anita Baker has performed now!
Wow, not only can he play the piano, but he co-wrote the song. AWESOME talent. I'm re-watching the old episodes and recording the reboots. That show was one of the best!
Wow! Anita baker, Paul Rieser and Kevin Ubanks!
I'm always pleasantly surprised with actors who are not known for, but are accomplished musicians.
This was BRILLIANT!!!
WHYYYYYYY is her version of this song not on spotify or some streaming platform? Hell, why isn't the actual song HERE on YT???? It's the best!!!
WOW! The only thing better than hearing the theme is hearing the love of my life sing it :) Sweet Love, indeed! :)
This is the best version of this wonderful song!
Whatever happened to Anita Baker? Paul Reiser on keys and Kevin Eubank on bass, wow!
Love Mad About You, he’s adorable. And talented!
I didn't know he wrote this own theme song to his own show. Very good show to
Love, love, love Anita Baker...best vocal talent in the world...ever!!!
this is just wonderful. super performance.
Wow!!! I not only didn't kknow paul wrote the theme song but played the piano?! And finding out there was a longer version! 😍😍😍
OMG! I never saw this and it’s AMAZING! Thank you for posting! 🤩
What an amazing rendition of a fantastic song! Love Mad about you and Anita!
Awesome version of it.
WTH?? I didn’t know he could play like that!! Good on you, Paulie!
Love to watch that man play piano.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. PAUL REISER & ANITA BAKER. I JUST CANT BELIEVE HOW SO MANY MEMORIES JUST CAME BACK. I FEEL MUCH YOUNGER ALREADY
I love the show, and I had no idea Paul Reiser played the piano, let alone played it so well! That was impressive.
Yep. Knew Paul Reiser played piano. He used to play once in a while at The Improv, NYC, back in the 70s. I had such a crush on him❤. He’s still one of the greatest comics around. And Anita Baker is so smooth!!! God I love her voice!
I just stumbled on this show on Prime and binged the hell out of it! Her voice and his piano skills are “chef’s kiss”! Perfection! W🥰W! I wish this was available in music streaming apps so I could easily play on repeat! So very happy it’s on YT!
Thanks for sharing this. I was quite delighted to find it and enjoy watching it over and over again :)
Love the late, great Sweet Pea Atkinson and Sir Harry Bowens on Backing Vocals. I suspect this came about because Don Was produced and co-wrote the tune. A great rendition of the song that I think played briefly in the second of third year. There's also an episode where an A Capella group sings the song in the subway. Hilarious in-joke!
This tune was swimming in my head tonight, and I was desperate to find it. So GEEKED to hear-and see!-Anita Baker perform it! Paul Reiser was wonderful on piano as well. Feeling tears of joy within my heart! ❤️🥳🎉🥰
This song, and video is soooo impactful. Brings so much tears to my eyes. I just love it! Sooooo touching. Do they even know how AMAZING this is???
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣... Still here!
everything i never knew i needed
I love that Paul raiser plays the piano and that Anita baker sang the theme song to mad about you it’s like magic
Thanks for sharing, it was a really lovely performance.
This is one of my favorite's TV series, brings lovely memories, so close & intimate that no day goes bye without seen a chapter at least. Paul, if you ever gets this, please contact me.
Paul Reiser and Anita Baker?I thought is Paul Reiser a singer? Nice surprise seeing him play the piano like that. Anita has been one of my favorites for years and I have watched Paul do some good acting. I liked this.
Paull has a degree in music :)
The singer of the original theme was Andrew Gold (the song was composed by Reiser). This version, w/ Baker, replaced the Gold version in the 1997 season.
@@schaddalton2506 Andrew Gold wrote both the Golden Girls theme and kids' favourite "Spooky Scary Skeletons!"
Don Was co-wrote, so who did lyrics and who composed?
Get it girl...So Awesome
I was randomly thinking about this song recently even thought I havent heard it since I was a kid. Lo and behold the great anita baker sang it..... why wasnt she on the NBC version?..
Great to see and hear PR with Anita. Not sure who sang the original version, but it has more depth to me.
Even when he goes off rhythm on 02:34, he bounces back at 02:38 and plays it wonderfully!
Smooth music,, You go Girl,,, Watch your career,, Detroit,, ,,gp.
MAD ABOUT YOU WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS. WHAT A GREAT ERROR TO BE IN.. I MISS THE OLD DAYS LIKE SOMEBODY DIED.
Wow! Tony,Baby,our song! I love it,I'm gonna play this for you,we're gonna dance to it
wow...all this time having been a MAY and the Whiplash movie fan..never knew Paul Reiser as a musical guy, let alone a PIANO friggin' player..AND composer of the show's theme song.
Excelente woow!
every time I see her I think of lemonade and sweet tea....
brilliant!

As we start the last Friday of 2018 praying EVERYONE will be safe and experience lasting love in 2019
"Final Frontier" interpretado por Paul Reiser (@PaulReiser), Anita Baker (@IAMANITABAKER) y Kevin Eubanks (@Kevin_Eubanks) en un directo grabado del The Tonight Show (@tonightshownbc). "Final Frontier" era el tema musical de una de mis series favoritas 'Mad About You', sobre una pareja de recién casados en N.Y. que estaba interpretada por Paul Reiser y Helen Hunt (@HelenHunt), fueron siete temporadas de muchísima calidad y muy buen humor. En la serie el tema fue interpretado primero por el desaparecido Andrew Gold (@ANDREWGOLDMUSIC) y a partir de la sexta temporada también sonaba la versión de Anita Baker. #SmoothJazzVocals
“This is what I’m saying!” 😂
-Paul Buchman, “Mad About You”
Nice
❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️❣️
He was playing piano on the episode of my 2 dad's that I was just watching. I had to find out if he really played ❤
I can't find this song at all, why??
The backup vocalists - anyone know who they are? Did they tour with Lyle Lovett at one time? The man in the hat looks like Sweat Pea Atkinson, but I'm not sure who the other gentlemen is.
I presume this to promote the theme change from Andrew Gold to Ms. Baker?
Back when economy was good
The guitarist was a Musical Director for... someone...
But I can't remember who.
Jay Leno
Oh boy! Sister was hot !!!!!
😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂♍
Dennis DeYoung's long lost twin?
Move over Billy Joel. Paul Reiser is all that on simple love songs.
I like Paul Reiser don't get me wrong but he is no where near the level of Billy Joel
@@swampwitch6133 Paul and Billy are actually pretty good friends, just read that somewhere today!
I prefer Andrew Gold's version. I only fast forwarded the theme song when she sang it.

Actually, Andrew Gold wrote this.
From what I understand Paul Reiser and Don Was wrote the composition. Andrew Gold wrote an arrangement of the piece. It was Andrew's arrangement they used for the actual show intro but with Paul singing and playing piano. This arrangement is the version Paul and Don created and it's being sung by Anita. I need to double check my sources but I think that's correct
+Aaron Nicewonger after season 5 episode 13 ended their with Andrew gold version , and anita Baker version started season 5 episode 18
alex kanyima so Andrew's opening and then eventually Anita's. I have the DVDs. It's funny you mention that because my wife was just commenting on the change.
Aaron Nicewonger just look at the episode intro difference
alex kanyima okay
Nah. Original is better
Anita Baker? More like I-need-a Break-a...from this terrible music.
Ralph Macchio?
