The theme works much better on a game show rather than a talk/reality type show. Soap World was produced by Barry-Enright and I guess they really liked that theme!
Outside of the clip you added, when Charlie O'Donnell died someone made a Youtube video of the intros of every show he announced including
Soap World. I've tried to find that video for years, to no avail.
And I agree the theme didn't fit there, unless you looped the strings part over and over again, similar to what TJW did for its million dollar tournament in the early-80s.
