S.W.A.T. (TV Series)

S.W.A.T. is a 1970s American television series about the adventures of the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Weapons And Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team. It was short-lived, in part because it was considered too violent at the time (though the violence it depicted is actually mild by today's television standards).

The series is most famous for its fast tempoed theme song which became a number one music hit. The title sequence that used that piece was also familiar with the principle characters responding to a muster signal, grabbing their weapons and proceeding in lock step to their transport van.
