I was trying to place a bassline stuck in my head and initially confused it with the Cosby Show intro. Took me a minute to realize it was the George Lopez theme.
The theme song for the George Lopez sitcom (2002-2007) is "Low Rider" by War, released in 1975. It's not a cover or a remix; it's the original funk track, licensed directly for the show. The song already had deep cultural associations with Chicano car culture and Southern California, which made it a natural fit for the show's setting and tone. Easy to mix up similar funk basslines if they're living in the same corner of memory.
