Theme Music
The theme music for Hogan's Heroes was composed by Jerry Fielding, although some musicologists have pointed out the strong similarity between the theme song and the Horstwessellied. The title of the theme music is "March" or "Hogan's Heroes March". There are lyrics to the title music. While they were never sung in the show, they were performed on an album titled "Hogan's Heroes Sing The Best of World War II". The drums were performed by Bob Crane, who was an accomplished drummer.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or music:
“And God-appointed Berkeley that proved all things a dream,
That this pragmatical, preposterous pig of a world, its farrow that so solid seem,

—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
