For decades, TV shows had catchy, sing-along theme songs — but today, most TV shows have instrumental themes (if they open with a song at all).

At tonight's Emmy ceremony, "Weird Al" Yankovic single-handedly sought to change that. In rapid succession, Weird Al offers parodies of the theme songs to Mad Men, Scandal, Homeland, Modern Family, and Game of Thrones (with a special cameo from George R.R. Martin).
