I insist it was "Burn The lights". If you ever get a chance to hear it again, listen to it closely. There is no mistaking "Burn The..." for "Curtain". It was quoted as "Burn The..." elsewhere as well.
I re-listened to my copy of the theme on TV's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1, and it still sounds like "curtain, lights" to me. Not to turn this into a Family Guy "is it 'effin' cry" or 'laugh and cry'?" debate, but that's also what I've read in countless WB or related publications, etc, so that's what I stand behind.[/quote]
Google would tend to back you up as well.
overture + "burn the lights" yields precisely two hits, only one of them relevant. It does happen to be from a WB chat room, for what that's worth.
"overture curtain lights" yields hundreds of relevant hits, including quite a few reputable lyric repositories.
Interestingly, "overture hit the lights" yields over a hundred hits, which is what I would have guessed it was without having heard it in just about forever.
In other words, you're free to think you hear whatever it is you think you hear. There have literally been books written about misheard lyrics. The problem is when you get into the mind set that everybody else but you is wrong. 'Cause it ain't so.
