My Two Dads Theme Song Lyrics
Official Theme Video
Behind the Music: Meaning & Story
The My Two Dads theme song, titled “You Can Count on Me,” perfectly encapsulates the heartwarming and comedic essence of the show. Composed by Greg Evigan, Lenny Macaluso, and Michael Jacobs, the tune is famously performed by series star Greg Evigan himself, showcasing his musical talents alongside his acting role as Joey Harris.
The series follows the lives of two men who are awarded joint custody of a teenage girl, Nicole Bradford, after the passing of her mother. The lyrics serve as a literal promise of support and parental devotion, highlighting the “unconventional family” theme that made the show a staple of late-80s and early-90s television.
With its lively melody and catchy chorus, the song mirrors the show’s journey of navigating parenthood and forming a unique family bond. Despite their differences, the two dads—the straight-laced Michael Taylor and the free-spirited Joey Harris—unite under the message of the theme: that Nicole can always count on them.
