Match Game '7x cues

[Card Shark]

I seem to recall someone having a page with the various cues used on MG '7x. Can anyone point me in this direction? Also, does anyone have a copy of the opening in the actual format used on the show, i.e., not the "fake" version from the Game Show Theme CD from 1998? Thank you in advance.

Soon to celebrate 118 posts

It's under "Quotes".

Last time I was linked there the main theme seemed to be the same as on the Game Show CD from Varese Saraband. It's not a "fake", it's just how the cue was originally supplied by Score to Goodson Todman. The difference: the version used on air had an edit or two made in the Jurassic era of music editing with a razor blade by GT Music Director Mike Malone.

 Thank you for your help, Randy. If you don't mind me saying so, you are my favorite TPIR announcer and I hope you get the permanent gig. If you do, I hope you won't stop posting here

Ah, the perfect time to bring up my Match Game MP3; it sounds almost exactly like the TV version, except it's cleverly edited (even better than the real version in that regard!) from the GSN CD version, and I lowered the pitch, since the CD version's pitch is too high.

That theme sounded just like the one on that Game Show CD.  I remember hearing a slightly lower pitched theme.  Strange.  Apparently that file came from the CD copy & ripped somehow.

To be specific on the "recipe" for creating the MG7x opening music, I believe this is what they did:


•  Start with the classic "Wank" music cue (actually, the cue was created by 'looping' the wanks at the beginning of the theme heard on the CD), used during the show whan the stars are writing out their answers.  

•  Play looping WANK cue until Johnny Olsen says, "...Match Game!!!" and the sign lights up.

•  Switch to main theme, starting on the WANK of that main theme.

•  After the first 'verse', splice out the part of the theme where the the song goes into the 3 long organ notes and go right into the second 'verse' (where the horns are doing the higher notes), again starting from the WANK.

•  Put spliced theme in the oven for 13 minutes at 350 degrees, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve!



Whoops, I'm thinking of the idea of a guilty Martha Stewart in jail....It's a good thing!!

The actual MG '7x show opening consisted of two separate cues: the vamp and the theme. The vamp lasted about a minute. The segue (SEG-way) to the theme was done live on cue to synchronize with Johnny Olson. The VS CD version plays a few bars of the vamp and then goes into the theme.

 4 bars of the vamp, if memory serves (and it usually does).

Good job...I'd agree that it's WAY better than the on-air edit used for MG '7X.

And hey, if someone out there can try removing the banjo from the Dawson FF theme, you'll have the mix used as a TPiR prize/car cue from 76-83.
