Its so beautiful and sweet they way she describes her as the lady in red when everybody else’s clothing are boring… And she was truly the light of that home
"The Lady in Red" is also a classic reference, as seen in the titles of old films, songs, paintings, generally meaning a woman who bursts out from the scene, but the theme song makes it literal...Fran is literally wearing red lol
Man i remember whatching this serie with my mom at probably 7:00 am, i was 9 yo, im now 13 and i decides to watch it again, the music gives so much nostalgia, and describes perfectly the personality of Fran
I have not heard this song in about 10 years...... the memories of my family all together watching this show and laughing... now half of my family who used to watch it is gone... it's good to have these memories come back to you like that.
i remember this is the 90's too, i'm 37 years old now and i suffered terribly form poor health ;( (Over the 2020 - not the coro-virus) i find myself watching the intro's of tv shows like this. I am sorry about your family, i hope things get better for you.
Facts bro .. same here with my family .. the 90s we had more family time together ! Now everybody is divided or have died .. time have really changed ! Miss the 90s so much ! This show bring back memories
"whooo would've guessed that the girl we described- was just exactly what the doctor prescribed" ..most memorialized verse to me lol its stuck in my head
I remember listening to the opening of this show, fighting to keep my eyes open. It would play for a couple minutes and I’d barely hear it, all snuggled up in bed. My Mom would slip through the door and turn off the tv. She’d tousle my hair and wish me good night but I’d be too sleepy to respond. Simpler times. I love you so much Mom.
👍Yeah, same for me. I also do this for Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, [seasons 1-12 of] ER, King of the Hill, Law & Order, Malcolm in the Middle, Married... with Children, The King of Queens, and The Simpsons. All of these TV shows have intros that are too good to just skip over every time.
She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens. 'Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fanny. So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door. She was there to sell make-up, But the father saw more. She had style! She had flair! She was there. That's how she became the Nanny! Who would have guessed that the girl we've described, Was just exactly what the doctor prescribed? Now the father finds her beguiling (Watch out CC!) And the kids are actually smiling (Such joie de vivre!). She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan. The flashy girl from Flushing. The Nanny named Fran!
I was today years old when I found out Liz Callaway(she did Anastasias singing voice in the animated movie) sings backup in this and her sister Ann Hampton wrote and sang the lead!!
When I was a little girl I used to watch this show back in my country and loved it! Never would’ve thought that I would end up living in Queens too😆 Im watching it again and now understand more when she talks about Queens🥹
I have watched the entire season once. I just love this series so much and don't even mind re-watching those short clips ,such an entertaining show it is.
My mother is watching this in her room as I type this. I haven't seen this show or heard this theme since we moved into this house back in 2000. Jeeze. The memories, man.
I grew up not having cable or satellite TV, so we only got to see shows like these in our vacation hotel rooms. As a result, I associate certain theme songs with rest and relaxation, such as this one and "Thank You for Being a Friend."
When I was a kid, I absolutely refused to watch just about anything that wasn't a cartoon. So when this show came on, I'd just watch the intro, then change the channel XD
i havent heard this in like 5-10 years id only ever listen to the theme song and then change the channel ive never watched an episode but seeing this brought me back to late 3:00am scrolling through channels
I still remember this series, unfortunately I never saw it during its broadcast because I was born on June 11, 1997 and the series ended in June 1999 and I was barely 2 years old, the memories I have watching the series must be from reruns
Sort of unrelated but I remember a time when my sister used to watch this a lot in 2019 to 2021. So everytime I hear this I get reminded of my 2019 mother series/giygas phase. Great times
When I first saw this, I was kinda thinking it’s creepy the way Fran keeps smiling like she just won the lottery and it was wonky, but then I realized, it’s actually kinda adorable 😂
I’ve rewatched The Nanny like a bajillion times now. Lol memories of watching this show on CBS in the 90s when I was a little kid and not understanding any of the jokes. I even remember when the animated Christmas special originally aired 🤣 I always loved the way they do the conga line to the beat of the music 🤣
Yooo I remember being little and watching this with my mom first thing in the morning everyday on Lifetime. She literally gave me the complete series on DVD yesterday
GREAT blend of very funny dialog, hilarious slapstick, wonderful scripts, & the perfect combination of characters! So fun! The sequel however was a HUGE sad disappointment! 20yrs later divorced!! That was NOT the image anyone wanted to have of once loveable Nanny & Mr Shefield!
@@tevinrittenhouse6012 I think he wrote this thinking the show Happily Divorced, which also starred Fran as someone named Fran, was a sequel to The Nanny. They're two separate shows, though a few actors from The Nanny have made guest appearances as different characters.
Happily Divorced was definitely NOT a sequel to the nanny. In happily divorced the ex-husband ended up being gay and can’t afford to move out so they continue living together. The gay ex-husbands name was Peter Lovett and hers was Fran Lovett. And it was loosely based on Fran Drescher‘s real life
I love this show when i heard the song as a kid i got excited to hear the Broadway/jazzy style of that musical selection but i always thought they would show a cartoon version of this video maybe in the near future but the ladies who are singing are sisters wish we had more of this the 90s were something else i tell ya
The lady named FRAN!❤ Ya know I wish BILL MURRAY had made an appearance on this show! Maybe he could've played an old buddy of Mr. Sheffield or his cousin and he would've been bonding with Fran and I imagine those two would've been VERY FUNNY together!🤣
The Nanny, Full House, Malcolm in The Middle, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Matters, George Lopez, Home Improvement, Fresh Prince are when late 2000s Nick at Nite was great
I miss these old sitcoms where the opening theme would describe the shows plot and any first time watcher would basically be briefed on what the show was about right from the start.
When I was little I'd go around singing this around the house , but of course I got it all wrong. I now know the lyrics are not ' The flasher girl from Flushing.......the nanny named Fran.🤣
I always picture the taxi diver having both a Popeye and a Candy Candido voice. My sibling thought that he'd have that tough guy smoker voice like a construction worker and Popeye and the taxi driver would ask Fran "Where to Lady?"
IF YOU TH-cam VIEWERS DON'T KNOW THE LYRICS TO THE SONG (THE NANNY THEME) THEN SLOW THIS JAZZY TUNE TO 0.75 OR 0.5 SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS TO THE SONG.
"She is the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan..."
This line has stayed with me for YEARS, it so encapsulates Frans style
especially the tone on tan. TAAAAAAAN!!!!
@@Maatjuhhh i thought it was (my one is wrong though), "She is the lady in red when everybody else is hangin ten..."
and... IT NEVER GETS OLD!!! "The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran."
Its so beautiful and sweet they way she describes her as the lady in red when everybody else’s clothing are boring… And she was truly the light of that home
"The Lady in Red" is also a classic reference, as seen in the titles of old films, songs, paintings, generally meaning a woman who bursts out from the scene, but the theme song makes it literal...Fran is literally wearing red lol
Probably one of the best sitcom themes ever.
FRRR!!
I even used it for a theatre assignment, best sitcom I chose
On par, and a slight feel like Golden Girl's
That theme song and family ties ad well
Friends is better
When you watched Nickelodeon and left the tv on to long and you heard this song you knew it was time to go to bed 😂😂😂
Why?
@@youtubeuser4684 it came on really late at night
This song pissed me off everytime would come on
Them Nick@Nite days🤣🤣🤣💯

Literally the same when I looked up this song a few months ago.
Used to watch this with my mom in the 90s every so often the theme gets stuck in my head...this and Inspector Gadget lmao
Facts bro .. same here with my family .. the 90s we had more family time together ! Now everybody is divided or have died .. time have really changed ! Miss the 90s so much ! This show bring back memories
Broo the fact that this whole entire theme song is a bop
what is a bop?

Don't I'm literally gonna rewatxh this rn my childhood man 😭😭😭
This is the only intro I don’t skip when I watch series

@@AlBundyFan365 The Sopranos, brother. Still my personal favorite.
She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens.
'Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes.
What was she to do?
Where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny.
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door.
She was there to sell make-up,
But the father saw more.
She had style!
She had flair!
She was there.
That's how she became the Nanny!
Who would have guessed that the girl we've described,
Was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?
Now the father finds her beguiling
(Watch out CC!)
And the kids are actually smiling
(Such joie de vivre!).
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan.
The flashy girl from Flushing.
The Nanny named Fran!
Thanks, I always wanted to know what the actual words were
@@wilhelmbittrich88 Your Welcome
Who would have guessed that the girl we've described, was just exactly what the doctor prescribed ❤
They could've actually made a cartoon series of The Nanny. I would've watched it
Lol when i was a child i thought it was a cartoon i was so mad and confused
Same 😑
There’s actually an episode in season 3 where the whole episode is a cartoon .
That thing she does when sings "door" is simply amazing
As a 40 year old man I’m not ashamed that I still know every word to this song
My little bro and I were so obsessed with this theme song my mom had to record it on an empty videotape 😂
The days before TH-cam…
Same 🤣
they should get other actors from the nanny to appear in general hospital charles shaughnessy is in general hospital
Everytime I think on a real life show similar to Horsin' Around from Bojack Horseman, this instantly comes to my mind
I was today years old when I found out Liz Callaway(she did Anastasias singing voice in the animated movie) sings backup in this and her sister Ann Hampton wrote and sang the lead!!
0:15 that line was HILARIOUS for Australians...
Why is that? :D
just think about it, or google it
Yes indeed, that wouldn't be in a tv series here in Australia!
Governo Panem the word fanny
@george vila are you Australian?
Brilliant song... Perfectly interpreted and played. As a jazz vocalist i adore it.
When I was a little girl I used to watch this show back in my country and loved it! Never would’ve thought that I would end up living in Queens too😆 Im watching it again and now understand more when she talks about Queens🥹
Jazzy!!! Simply JAZZY! Kudos to Anne Hampton Calloway for the vocals!!!
Give Hollywood hell Fran! ✊ #SAG #Solidarity

Low key this show was dope.
Not even low key, this is still one of my favorite shows.
@george vila wtf
If you watched this show then you stayed up so damn late
Low Key, huh?
Comrade Fine, give the order!
"Oh, Mr Sheffield! Look at me striking!!"
The AMPTP picked the wrong one. Fran is tougher than a 2 dollar steak.
Still watching the greatest series on Earth in 2017 !!!!!!
Try 2020

Most relaxing intro
This is up there with the most iconic theme songs

That’s a very catchy tune!! I love ❤️ it and Fran, the Nanny from Flushing, Queens.
No surprise to see this video soar these days.
She had style, she had flair, she was there!
This is honestly such a well written song haha

Did anyone notice that Disney essentially ripped this show off when they created Jessie with Debby Ryan? It’s literally the same exact concept.
The creator of Jessie worked on this show so it ain’t a ripoff
This song is more iconic than the show itself. It brings up so many childhood/90s memories.
this song randomly popped into my head today
Same here, after several decades. I just had to listen to it again.
why does nobody talk about the “watch out C.C.” it’s the best line 😭
Das bringt Erinnerungen zurück... Früher immer auf Super RTL geschaut
Sort of unrelated but I remember a time when my sister used to watch this a lot in 2019 to 2021.
So everytime I hear this I get reminded of my 2019 mother series/giygas phase. Great times
Long live the nanny one of the best shows ever
When I first saw this, I was kinda thinking it’s creepy the way Fran keeps smiling like she just won the lottery and it was wonky, but then I realized, it’s actually kinda adorable 😂
Classic intro
The original run on CBS
+dnasty312 All 6 seasons on the Tiffany Network.
Who sings it?
@george vila hmmm. I thought it was a dude.
Anyway thanks for the info 👍🏾
WATCH OUT, C.C.!!!!! 😂
Ngl this show was kinda funny and honestly some good shit most of time I remember watching this on Nickelodeon at Nite Imao 😂

I love my Nanny the complete series. When your down in the dumps just watch some Fran Fine and you will be ok
If any of us meets Fran Drescher in person, care bear hug.🫂💜👏🏾👍🏾
Best opening theme song to exist!
I used to love this show. They do not make shows like this any more.
fr :(
I enjoy watching this show on the weekends about a few couple of years ago after work
Yooo I remember being little and watching this with my mom first thing in the morning everyday on Lifetime. She literally gave me the complete series on DVD yesterday
The flashy girl from flushing the lady name Fran 🔥
My childhood was in the 2000s. Once this intro came on, I knew it was time to take my ass to bed.
Ann Hampton Callaway and her sister Liz sang the lyrics.
Yes, it's the same Liz Callaway who sang for Anastasia.
Best theme song, my baby claps to it!
GREAT blend of very funny dialog, hilarious slapstick, wonderful scripts, & the perfect combination of characters! So fun! The sequel however was a HUGE sad disappointment! 20yrs later divorced!! That was NOT the image anyone wanted to have of once loveable Nanny & Mr Shefield!
