Favorite soap opera opening themes?

This is a rare one - "Guiding Light" went to the Disco for 1981.

Young & the Restless (stealing "Nadia's Theme") was a brilliant move, IMO.

R1 Y&R was using the theme before Nadia did.

The soap started using it over three years prior ca. 1973. It was originally called "Cotton's Dream" from the 1971 film, "Bless the Beasts and the Children." (The soap also used an instrumental version of that main title song during highly sentimental/emotional scenes.)

The composers only opted to rename and release an extended version of "Nadia's Theme" after it became associated with Comăneci during the 1976 Olympics, which then hit the charts.

The bubblegum pop theme tune to “Never Too Young” was great.
