4 bars of the vamp, if memory serves (and it usually does). [/quote]
That is right, but the 3rd and 4th bars are cut-off.
[quote name=\'TimK2003\' date=\'Mar 6 2004, 07:17 AM\'] 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![/quote]
I based
my rendition of the opening theme from
this Match Game opener (IMDB link) and that description above
