Owning a music library, I agree with your sentiments. You might enjoy my take on the musical problem, here: http://luminousmuse.wordpress....

This is phenomenal. Just what we were talking about.

Got to give Phil primary credit on this one-though I did get a few licks of my own in there!

Someone needs to take away his DVR and terminate his HBO subscription.

Sheer poetry. Clearly these guys were completely sick of singing this thing. An incredible 70's touchstone.

Hey Peter, when I saw Dr. Hook live (at Convention Hall!) they added the following verse to "Sylvia's Mother":

Sylvia's father says, Sylvia's packing, she's going to be leaving today
Sylvia's father says, Sylvia's pregnant, and you went and got her that way
Sylvia's father says, you mother f*cker, I'm going to kill you some day,
and the operator says, etc.

That's a beautiful lyric, huh?

They could've at least had the decency to have chosen a more relevant song from the same record, such as "You Can't Sit Down." (Boston's "More Than a Feeling" would've been really sweet, though, or BTO's "Taking Care of Business." The possibilities are endless.)

This cruise needs an "Issac the Bartender" reading of Ezekiel 25:17 a la Samuel Jackson's "Jules" character in Pulp Fiction. Then, moments later, a giant fucking squid to pull that ship down into the briny deep.

I think they just get 4 dudes with long hair and tell them it's Metallica.

I'm guessing the entertainment is Blue Man Group, since one of the guys online at the airport looks like a member.

As a resident of North Texas, just minutes from were this burger joint just opened, I must tell you that if it isn't football, firearms, or food, what you're selling just won't make it in Texas.

That is SUCH an iconic theme
song! One of the great TV openings of
all time. I’ve been watching a ton of
Alfred Hitchcock Presents over at DISHOnline, they have over 150 episodes and a
s a DISH customer/employee I get free access to them and hundreds of other
great shows as part of my service. Love
it! http://bit.ly/dJzWgo

Mackey, once again delivering the story behind the story. Jonny Quest-My absolute favorite cartoon. I still watch it when it's on. That IS a badass trombone solo.

Re: Great TV Opens From The 60′s

That first season "Jeannie" theme was written by Richard Wess, who's perhaps better known for writing the majority of Bobby Darin's earliest swing charts, chief among them "Mack the Knife". Darin later also used Billy May and Ernie Freeman, giving him legitimate ties to Sinatra.

I wish I could find the tape somewhere, but there was actually a video recording made for some magazine show (ET, maybe?) of Hoyt Curtin conducting the 1985 remake of "The Jetsons" theme song.

Hoyt had some considerable jazz chops and had some great players in his orchestra - Frank Rosolino, the late and legendary trombonist, did the solo for his "Jonny Quest" theme song. Frank had an ascending solo break in the opening theme, and for the closing theme, did a descending one to balance things out. Clever.

I lived in London in the 70's. The Goodies opener "Walkin' the Dog" (a Mempis Classic) and if I'm not mistaken was arranged by my college arranging teacher, Michael Gibbs, comes to mind. Never got in to that Yakety Sax Bennie Hill shit.
