Name That (Game Show) Tune!

Hope nobody's mentioned this..

If I'm not mistaken, the title of the theme currently used on Wheel of Fortune is "Happy Wheel".

There's some creativity for you.

Most of those were written by Chuck Barris himself--"Put It Where You Want It" was a commercially-released hit single for the Crusaders in 1972, written by Joe Sample and one other member of that band, IIRC--it reached the lower part of the Billboard Top 40 that year and was funky, funky, funky.

It's on their "Best of" album, available from Amazon as an import that also includes their other Top 40 hit, "Street Life" (with a vocal by Randy Crawford, who like Randy Thomas is no boy)--Here's the link to get your groove on.

"Put It Where You Want It" is also a longtime favorite of Don Imus, who still pulls it out every so often for commercial bed music. He's been using that music since the old WNBC days, going on some 30 years.
