Name That (Game Show) Tune!

[quote name=\'Adam Nedeff\' date=\'Oct 2 2004, 11:25 AM\']"You Bet Your Life"'s many themes included one called "Hooray for Captain Spaulding."
[/quote]
"Spaulding" led into a Jack Meakin composition called "Groucho and the Wolf," and Meakin later took parts of both songs and segued them together for a piece he called "You Betcha Life."

While not a theme, "Struttin' on Sunset" was used frequently on Wheel of Fortune.

For some reason I've always known it as Struttin' on Main Street... but you're probably right.

Funny that one would mention "Square This." I was listening to station V103 (102.7 in Chicagoland) in the car one evening, and this song played on the radio. It did not take me long to put 2 and 2 together and realize this was the H2 theme. They even mentioned the artist's name, though it now escapes me...

Unless I'm completely out of my mind, the title of the theme is "Hollywood Square Biz", based on "Square Biz", both by Teena Marie.

Mental state notwithstanding , the label on the CD I have is "Square Biz - final mixes".

I never heard it referred to as "Square This", as someone earlier mentioned.

I'll assume that that title was artificially expanded, instead of yours being abbreviated.

"Square This" sounds like "Kiss This Guy" for "Square Biz".

Puppet on a String?  No relation to the Sandie Shaw song, I assume?

[Craig Karlberg]

As far as the Dating Game goes, the main theme is "The Spanish Flea".  There are others but that's what I think it is.

As far as the Dating Game goes, the main theme is "The Spanish Flea". There are others but that's what I think it is.

"Spanish Flea", and various other Herb Alpert tunes, were all used as cues during the ABC run of the show.  The actual theme was just called "The Dating Game".  I actually have it on a 45 rpm record, by the Mariachi Brass.

The title for the late '70s closing theme was "Little Rosie".
