Where Everybody Knows Your Name Where Everybody Knows Your Name "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" is the theme song from the 1980s television sitcom "Cheers". The song was written by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo and performed by Gary Portnoy. Shortly after the premiere of "Cheers", Portnoy went back into the studio to record a longer version of the song that made the US and British pop charts. However, it failed to reach the Top 40 in either of those 2. The full-length version was made available on Portnoy's 2004 album "Keeper". In January 2013, Argentum Records released a five-song EP to iTunes entitled
Michael Portnoy for the New York choreographer Koosil-Ja Hwang, and as an actor. He also sang and performed his own operatic, electro-progressive-rock music as XAR, and with the band The Liquid Tapedeck. For Bob Dylan's performance of "Love Sick" at the 1998 Grammy Awards, Portnoy was hired by Dylan's production company to stand in the background with other dancers and groove to the music to "give Bob a good vibe". Instead, halfway through the performance, Portnoy ripped off his shirt, ran next to Dylan, and started dancing and contorting spastically with the two-word poem "Soy Bomb" written across his chest.
