Nowadays the PC police would try to prevent you from using that song title. Or some suicide victim's family would sue.

Well, I didn't really mean it that way. But in today's world, too many people are looking for someone to blame (and sue) when shite happens.

I can already see you all frothing at my choice (with Mark putting in some consoling and supportive words  ;D), but I stand unrepentant: "Tammy", the TV series from the sixties. I loved (and love) that melody. Scroll to the end of this page for a listen:

And to make matters worse I also liked the music/muzak (and, jawohl, the stories too) in Streisand's and Redford's "The Way We Were" and in Christie's and Sharif's "Dr Zhivago".

This is one of my favorite anime & theme songs-

Death Note seasion 2- Wonder if cartoon Network will change the song?
!!!!!!
Daughter's been getting into that one lately.
It sounds like Ramstein mixed with Demon Hunter mixed with MaryManson and a couple of others.
RAW bass slamming.
NICE!

Additional versions(amusing to me and my daughter):
WOW!

Funny:


I do confess to learning Mission Impossible(original theme) and buying Lalo Schrifin's album to learn the rest of the tunes on it.
I had a P clone with nylon tapewound strings that got REAL close to the sound.

If you are truly interested in the truth, start by turning off the television.

I never watched "Sanford & Son" as a kid, but my band played the theme (also known as "The Streetbeater") around 1990 when I was in college. Lately I've been watching the reruns, and the bass playing by Chuck Rainey is great! In an interview here he says the wrong note at the very end was an accident, but Quincy Jones wanted to keep it in.

The thing that bugs me about reruns these days though is that they play commercials for other shows during the closing credits.

I see your point, but all I miss is a thundering bass underneath that.

I liked the theme from hill street blues.

Someone has to use Cobwebs & Strange by The Who as a theme song. Brilliant!


My favourites are The Dukes of Hazard theme song by Waylon jennings, who's also the voice over of the series. And of course The A Team theme. The A Theme then? One day I had a welding exam at school. I recorded the The A Team theme on a little voice recorder and my plan was to play it whem I started welding. As a sort of joke. When I started I pushed play and I forgot something so I had a flame of two yards instead of two inched! While I was trying to get rid of my incidental 'flame thrower' the theme played, everybody watched and laughed their arses of. The teacher could laugh about it, forunately...
