Bernadette's IMDB page lists her as being the uncredited singer of the title song. I had never seen this listed before and had never heard this. It's been ages since I watched this show and I don't remember the song at all but it seems it was sung by a man. Anyway, not sure if this is an error but the show is on tonight at 9 p.m. and I plan on watching the beginning to hear the song. Just thought I'd post in case anyone else wants to check it out.

I noticed that too the other day but just figured it was a mistake.

Unless she is singing the part of the boy, then I don't think so...I watch it regularly - it is basically just 3 voices singing the words "men" - a low bass, a tenor and boy soprano. (I love this show!)

Yeah, I don't think that is necessarily a boy singing. I never thought that and it definitely sounds like a woman to me. And I agree it could definitely be her. Though I would say its not definitively her. Interesting. Sure enough the singers aren't credited.

You mean the three or so notes someone (a woman)sings in the beginning?
Could be, who knows...
I assume you've seen this:
"At a convention of television critics during the summer of 2005, executive producer Chuck Lorre confirmed that the show's opening tune is performed by studio musicians and not by actors Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones (who merely lip-sync the lyrics). One of the actual crooners is singer and voice-over artist E.G. Daily."
imdb trivia
This is probably something we'll discuss for years to come

Yes - I also found a short article about Elizabeth Dailey being the voice over artist for this but whoever is singing the high part does sound like Bernadette. And IMDB is always giving wrong information.

Speaking of uncredited vocals, does anyone else remember hearing the rumor that Bernadette provided the singing voice for the character of Blousey in the film Bugsy Malone?
I've watched it and listened pretty carefully, and I'm sure it's not her. There is some similarity though, so I can see how the question arose.

I would like to believe that the days of uncredited voice-overs (a la Marni Nixon for some of the most famous singing movie roles) are finished, but I guess not - at least there are still rumors that they exist.

Wow. I love this show. Two and a half men is just so fun. I found a little fan page you might like too. Did everyone watch Monday's episode? Totally hilarious.

I have to say the humor on Two and a Half Men gets very tiring, but it is an okay show to say the most of it. I do not like Charlie Sheens's character and I have to admit that he is very annoying. I do not understand why so many people on the show think he is such a big shot. I have to admit that the acting is decent. I like how the characters mix well together and how they have such great chemistry. One thing I can not say about the show is that it is boring. It almost always is entertaining and I usually watch the entire episode. Thank you.

I have never thought that the song for "Two and a Half Men" sounded like Bernadette! I think the singing voice sounds like Jake as his speaking voice sounds exactly the same to me...and it is beautiful. Probably recorded when he was still young and his voice hadn't changed. Should be in the credits at the end. I could be wrong, of course.
To the loveliest lady of song!
You will keep on giving me joy forever...

The first time I heard that song the first thing I thought was, "That's Bernadette Peters!" I since found several conflicting accounts of who actually sings it. Dunno. Either way, it's pretty good.
