Queen's song You're My Best Friend has been featured in several shows, but Best Friend by Harry Nilsson was the theme song for The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

Here are some TV shows that use Queen's song You're My Best Friend:

The Simpsons: Dogtown; Moe Baby Blues
Patriot: John's To-Do List 5/18/12
Go for It: Episode #1.4
The Supervet: Supervet in the Field: Part 1
Hot in Cleveland: Vegas Baby/I Hąte Goodbyes
Family Guy: Farmer Guy
EastEnders: Episode dated 14 October 2011
My Name Is Earl: Something to Live For
The King of Queens: Ruff Goin'
Will & Grace: The Finale
Skeppsholmen: Episode #3.5
Titus: Hot Streak

Queen bass player John Deacon wrote You're My Best Friend. All four members of the group wrote at least one of their hits. John Deacon wrote this song about his wife. He enjoyed a rather quiet home life, and particularly in the early days of the group, he was very shy and reluctant to put his song suggestions forward.

This song features a Fender Rhodes electric piano, which was a popular choice at the time, with many rock songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan utilizing the instrument. John Deacon wanted to write a song incorporating the instrument, but Freddie Mercury did not want to play it. "I refused to play that damn thing," Mercury said. "It's tiny and horrible, and I don't like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano?"

So Deacon took the Rhodes home, learned to play it, and began writing this song. This was the follow-up single to "Bohemian Rhapsody." It was also Queen's second song (after "Bohemian Rhapsody") to have an accompanying promotional video filmed for it.

One of the best aspects of TV songs from years past is the theme songs. With shows these days, you’re fortunate to receive a title card with the name of the sitcom or drama on the screen, but back in the ’80s and ’90s, theme songs ruled.
