Prize/Ticket/Promotional Consideration Music Cues

[Argo]

mine would have to be Thicke WHEEL outros (temptation eyes and the other one, some people have called the 'country-style" cue. Really favour TPIR cues that were used on NYSI then moved over to TPIR.

Do unsold pilots count? If so, Hyper Gamma Space (contestant cue) from B&E's 21 is pretty good. In the realm of aired game shows though, it's a tough call. I liked the prize plug on PYL; the Davidson run of HS also had a nice secret square prize cue I thought was cool. Scrabble '93's contestant cue was another one I found  to be enjoyable along with the WBMG cue on $ale of the Century. I don't think I could pick a favorite though

The interesting thing about the PYL prize cue is that there were actually two different versions of it: A jazzier version that was used during the first month or so on the air, and a synthesized one that was used for the majority of the run. It would make my day if both versions resurface.

Was but a small child at the time, but I used to try to figure out the melodic connection between the Art Fleming J! theme (Take Ten), the original think music, the contestant intro riff, and even the (probably stock or needledrop) music played when the board curtain opened before each round.  I think I once composed a segue in which the usual cold finish at the end of Take Ten quickly led into a succession of notes that spiraled lower, slower, and softer until you had the think music.

I would say I like the Wheel of Fortune "Buzzword" cue.  So glad to see that it later became the Merv Griffin's Crosswords theme.  Also, wasn't it used for a pilot that Merv did called Buzzword?
