Also, for most of the network era of "TDG," the segue out of "Lollipops and Roses" was to a jazz organ/guitar piece. I'd say Jimmy Smith, but it was very likely any of those other guys who were playing back then. Don't know the title, unfortunately.
Would that be Boston Bust-Out, which I mentioned earlier in the thread? I also know that for a time, they were segueing from L&R into Muzak versions of popular songs, much like those played going to commercial before the bachelor(ette) made his/her choice.

Probably was--on a lonnnnngg page from Dusty Groove America, a Chicago-based used record seller (after a Google search), I found this:
Jimmy McGriff -- Bag Full Of Soul . . . LP . . . $6.99 (Item: 15144)
United Artists, 1966 (Gatefold) Condition: Very Good View Cart
Easy to pass up because of the inconspicuous look of the cover and feel of the title, but a nice batch of trio cuts with Thornel Schwartz on guitar and Willy Jenkins on drums. McGriff wrote a lot of the material, and while it's not totally funky, like his late 60's stuff, it's also got a nice tight groove, like his Sue albums. Tracks include "Boston Bust Out", "Red River Blues", "On The Way Home", and "D.B. Blues (parts 1 & 2)". (Cover has ringwear.)
The combination of Jimmy McGriff and the release date (about the time that "TDG" started using recorded cues) makes me believe that you're right (I don't know about it being a Barris composition, though). I'm going to put the URL up of the page because right now Dusty Groove has in stock a copy of Quincy Jones' "You Got It Bad Girl" (with the "NYSI" theme "Chump Change") and that album is considered hard-to-find (and not on domestic CD):
http://www.dustygroove.com/jazzlp3.htmIt will take some scrolling to find both albums.
