Your favorite "non-game show" game show music
« on: July 05, 2006, 01:18:08 AM »
Continuing in the musical vein we seem to be in lately, how about this: what's your favorite piece of music that didn't start out as a game show theme but eventually became one? I got the inspiration to ask this because I was listening to Quincy Jones's "Chump Change" last night and must tell you what a treat it is to hear all the way through (the whole album is great, if you can find it - You've Got It Bad, Girl"). I say it's right up there with Swingin' Safari as one of the best examples of the non-game show genre. You?

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

"Jumpin' At Woodside" (with a chorus or two borrowed from "One O'Clock Jump")--the Gene Gene music.

I like the Gene Gene music too.....

Main favorites though are "Tuning Up" and "Jet Set". Most any non-GS theme Bob Stewart used, probably...
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

When I was at San Jose State, he was a guest conductor with the San Jose Symphony, doing "A Night At The Movies". I stood my ground and said I wouldn't go unless I would be guaranteed that they would perform the American Gladiators theme. :)

If memory serves, the closing credits to the 70s "Treasure Hunt" featured an instrumental of the theme from the movie "True Grit," which I like a lot.
