I don't recall this being asked, but I was listening to a local radio game show the other day, and during one of the on-air contests, they were playing a "Remix" of the original "Price Is Right" theme with vocals.

It sounded like there was a female group who added words to the dance mix, but most of the time they would sing "Come On Down" during the Dat Dat Da-Dahhhh, portion of the main melody.

Anyone have the details of this song -- official title, group, where can you get a copy of it, etc...

BTW, the radio show that I heard this on was a radio game show that appears every so often on the 50,000 watter WTAM/1100 AM in Cleveland. They do pay a lot of tributes to game show legends, and do interviews with some...Including one last weekend with Ken Jennings!

Info on when this occasional radio show will air next, how to participate, and KJ's interview can be found at the shows official website here.

"Come on Down" by Crystal Waters(the lady who had a top 10 hit in 1991 with Gypsy Woman(She's Homeless)) is I believe the song you are referring to.

The theme Tim's talking about is by Paul Johnson. I have an MP3 of this theme. It's...different.

And if you look about halfway down the winners page at The Contest Show's site, you might find a familiar name. By gosh, you might be reading a post by that person right now.

Of course, I'm sure you would have rather won the 1st season of 7th Heaven, or that custard pie.

They gave out more tickets than seats in the theater. My group of 4 didn't get in. >:O Despite not seeing Ladder 49, the night turned out well, but that's a story better suited for a blog than this forum.
