The Community theme song, “At Least It Was Here” by The 88, became an instant hit, setting the stage for the quirky and self-aware comedy of the show. Released in 2010, the song perfectly captures the essence of Community with its catchy melodies and upbeat tempo.
Created by Dan Harmon and featuring a talented writing team including Jim Rash, Megan Ganz, and Chris McKenna, Community aired on NBC for its first five seasons and concluded on Yahoo! Screen for its sixth and final season. Over the course of its run, the show amassed a dedicated fanbase for its clever humor and meta storytelling.
With music composed by Ludwig Göransson, the Community theme song became an anthem for fans, reflecting the show’s unique blend of wit and heart. Its energetic sound and memorable chorus set the tone for the adventures of the diverse study group at Greendale Community College.
Community’s six-season journey encompassed 110 episodes, solidifying its status as a cult favorite. The theme song, along with its accompanying visuals, became an iconic part of the show’s identity, resonating with viewers long after the series finale on 2nd June 2015.
Community Theme Song Lyrics
Give me your hands
Show me the door
I cannot stand
To wait anymore
Somebody said
Be what you’ll be
We could be old and cold and dead on the sea
But I love you more than words can say
I can’t count the reasons I should stay
Give me some rope
Tie me to dream
Give me the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it could be here
We could be roped up tied up dead in a year
I can’t count the reasons I should stay
One by one they all just fade away
Iʼm tied to the wait and sees
Iʼm tired of that part of me
That makes up a perfect lie
To keep us between
But hours turn into days
So watch what you throw away
And be here to recognize
Thereʼs another way
Give me some more
Time in a dream
Give me the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it can be here
We could be roped up tied up dead in a year
But I love you more than words can say
I can’t count the reasons I should stay
One by one they all just fade away
But I love you more than words can say
