7 Lady-Power TV Theme Songs That Will Remind You That Females Are Strong as Hell (Hey, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt!)

What TV shows with strong female characters feature an awesome lady-power anthem to match? Here are seven of our favorites. (And you have our permission to loudly sing along wherever you are!)

The excitement we're feeling in anticipation of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's second season hitting Netflix at exactly 12:01 A.M. on April 15 knows no bounds, which is why we can't stop singing that can't-get-it-out-of-your-head, empowering theme song! The catchy, auto-tuned UKS track gets especially lodged into the deepest recesses of our minds because it perfectly sums up the crux of the show: Kimmy Schmidt is truly a badass for surviving that bunker! And, after a few strands of...

"Unbreakable! They alive, dammit! It’s a miracle! Females are strong as hell!"

...you just want to fist pump the air and go out into the world to conquer everything your heart desires, right? Dammit, you're strong as hell!

So, it got us thinking: What other TV shows with strong female characters feature an awesome lady-power anthem to match? Here are six more of our favorites. (And you have our permission to loudly sing along wherever you are!)

1. Gilmore Girls

The theme song is none other than "Where You Lead" by Carole King off of her classic Tapestry album, and it was the perfect way to pay tribute week after week to the mother-daughter power duo of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. You better believe hearing this song again is one of the trillions of reasons why we're so excited for GG's grand reboot on Netflix!

2. Ally McBeal

Do yourself a favor: The next time you're alone in the car for a long drive, roll down the windows and sing as loudly as you can to "Searchin' My Soul" by Vonda Shepard. The song is a perfect fit for Ally, as well as any woman who's gone after the proverbial quest to "have it all."

3. The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Yes, you ARE gonna make it after all! And go ahead and throw your cap into the air too—it's your time!

4. Orange Is the New Black

"You've Got Time" by Regina Spektor can mean so many different things: It's a grittier song than some of the others on this list—it is the opener for a show about female prisoners—but it empowers us to make the most of life, even during a dark time. And that's one of the many underlying messages of OITNB too, no?

5. Golden Girls

Go ahead and call every one of your besties right now and thank them for being a friend!

6. Sex and the City

There was a lot of debate over what constitutes a theme song—do instrumental ones even count? Well, when it comes to Sex and the City, we think it counts. The beats crescendo with hope as we watch Carrie Bradshaw get splashed on the streets of New York City by a bus—with her face on it. It's that very dichotomy of the highs and lows of life in your 20s and 30s that SATC was so great at portraying—starting in the opening credits—and it still pumps us up every time we watch.
