Danny Wilde

Danny Wilde (birth name Daniel Thomas; born June 3, 1956) is an American musician. He is a founding member of the alternative rock duo the Rembrandts, who are best known for the Friends theme song "I'll Be There for You".

Wilde was born in Houlton, Maine, but is known for breezy California power pop through his records released in the 1980s and 90s. In the 1980s he landed two minor rock radio hits with "Isn't It Enough" and "Time Runs Wild".

The single "Time Runs Wild" was featured on the soundtrack to the 1989 film Dream a Little Dream.

Wilde was the founding member of the power-pop band The Quick. Wilde then went on to form Great Buildings, which also featured his future Rembrandts bandmate Phil Solem, in 1981, releasing an album with this group.

In 2000, Wilde sang lead vocals on Canadian jazz-flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook's cover of the Crowded House hit "Fall at Your Feet", from Cook's album Free Fall.

Wilde wrote and performed the whistling theme song for the Chinese online television series Planet Homebuddies, which is based on Friends with a mainland China setting.
