| | Posted: | | | | If all episodes of a TV show have a "Main Title Theme Song Written and Performed By" credit for the show's theme song, does that qualify for "Song Writer" or for "Theme By"?
I'm pretty sure that I already know the answer; I just need something to point the voters to... |

Maybe both, but definitely Song Writer, if it is an original song written specifically for the film. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

Have you read the question? Yes. Quote:

Nobody said they shouldn't, but if the credit is a variation of 'Theme by', that is the profiler credit we give them, not song writer. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
