"Love Is All Around" by Sonny Curtis
The theme tune for The Mary Tyler Moore Show - entitled Love Is All Around - is probably the most famous song Sonny Curtis ever wrote; I say probably not merely out of my predisposition for using weasel words but because armed only with my puny human brain I can't possibly gauge the fame such songs as Walk Right Back (made famous by the Everly Brothers) let alone I Fought the Law (covered by everyone from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to The Clash) might have attained.
Anyway, I've posted it here in honour of the woman it was written to celebrate, namely Mary Tyler Moore, whose portrayal of Mary Richards made her the first feminist sitcomedienne, and who today turns 74.
If you're up to it, may we suggest tossing a woolen hat in the air to celebrate.

I think one has to twirl around at the same time as one tosses the hat in the air. This will take some practice, but it is well worth it, MTM was such a great show!
I will just make sure that the cats are not twining around me when I do this though :)
