MacGyver: What You Didn’t Know About The Classic Show

The MacGyver Theme Song Is Different In Brazil

One of the most memorable things about MacGyver is the infectious theme song that welcomes viewers at the beginning of each episode. The theme song is originally a catchy instrumental piece by Randy Edelman. But not everyone got to experience the same catchy tune. For those living in Brazil, they instead heard the “Tomy Sawyer” by Rush. This is interesting because the popular classic rock song from the Canadian prog trio was very different than the original wordless song. No one seems to know why the introduction music differs in Brazil and the producers have never publicly commented.
