Title: Quick question on obscure game music
Post by: steveleb on December 17, 2021, 07:08:22 AM
The producer of celebrity bowling died this week.

I always loved their music beds.  The opening theme was a jazzy 60s remix of an old standard Everybody Loves My Baby. (Fun fact: Rose Marie sung it in an episode of The Monkees so cheaply made when she raised her arms you could clearly see the sweat stains from her armpits on her polyester dress).

Does anyone know the name of the music used when Jed Allan would read off the prizes that were available for the scores of 120 150 180 and 210?

(The main theme is also on this album.)

"Horn Duey" becomes quite a usable piece of production music when played at 1.25 speed. A little '70s-dated perhaps but a nice retro sound.

Have to tell you, King Richard's Fluegel Knights is one of my guilty pleasures. I have the albums. Come On Over would have made a good game show theme too.

Fun fact: Bobby Darin was friends with King Richard himself (aka Dick Behrke) and had him on his variety show along with Geoff Edwards, the host of Bob Stewart's 1971 Says Who? pilot...which used Horn Duey as its theme.

Fun fact 2: Behrke made the move into commercial jingles in the early '70s. Here's a song he arranged for the 1972 Chevrolets. Jake Holmes wrote and sang.

Awesome!  Another great mystery solved!  Somewhere there's a rusting Datsun B-210 humming along!

Definitely has a Chuck Barris or Hatos-Hall feel to it.

Either Milton Delugg or Stan Worth.
