Title: Original "Match Game" (NBC, '62) theme
Post by: geno57 on June 21, 2008, 05:19:54 PM

You don't have to download the entire seven-minute-42-second chunk of weirdness.  But those who have iTunes, search for "Swingin' Safari" and "Christopher Dell".  You can be treated to a sample of 30 seconds' worth of it.  That's about all I could take.

This is a really weird rendition of the Kaempfert classic.

This makes the bagpipe version seem like a musical classic. :-P

GHAAACK!  We can be grateful this version wasn't recorded when they chose the theme music for the show!

Wow that was ....... interesting.  7:42 versus the GSN CD's 3:09.  I'm surprised it isn't longer based on how slowly the melody is played.
