I shall now be on my way to rehearsal.  If she of the Evil Eye isn't here in two minutes, I'll leave her a note with instructions on how to get in.

I have a college boy coming over at 10 am to give me an estimate on house painting, but first I must shower, shave and walk to dog.

...My TV Theme List: (In ABC Order)
...The Golden Girls ("Thank You for Being a Friend")
...

It should be noted that the theme song for The Golden Girls was not written for the show.

"Thank You for Being a Friend" was a semi-hit single for writer/singer Andrew Gold, who included it on his third album, "All This and Heaven Too," released in 1978.  The television series didn't reach the airwaves until 1985.

DR td, is THIS the missing verse you meant?

Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it between us
You and me got a secret love, baby

Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it on the hush
You're not mine, got a secret love, baby



Perhaps that's the wrong song, though.   :)

NOT something I would expect to be played during a wedding.

I'd catch up on last night's posts, but I've got errands to take care of before getting to work.  Laters.

Perhaps some other DRs can explain to me the appeal of AMERICAN BEAUTY, for as I've previously stated, I find it to be one of the more pretentious pieces of claptrap that I have ever seen.


For what it's worth, I agree with you, TD, on AMERICAN BEAUTY. I, too, found it pretentious. Did it set out to be the Great American Film? It wasn't.

Just my two cents.

Oh!  I just checked my mail, and it appears everyone's accounting departments over the past few weeks have been running slow... And I can actually still make it to my bank to make a deposit if I leave now!  :)

Hello, everyone.

Since it's a holiday weekend for many, let me wish all of you who are observing religious traditions, a fine whatever. For those of us who are not, such as myself, I wish you all a relaxed and pleasant weekend.

I have a pile of old movies, plus my Netflix DVDs, to look forward to. And that's ALL I wish to do this weekend!

I've always loved the theme to RAWHIDE. I understand that the TEN TENORS have recorded it, which surprised, but pleased, me.

I often hear RAWHIDE played on the radio, far more than any other theme song.

I'll betcha y'all already know Andrew is the son of Ernest (Exodus) Gold and Marni Nixon.

I used to tip the baggers for helping take the groceries to my car.  Most markets had a no tipping rule & I eventually got out of the habit of offering money that wasn't accepted.

Really? I never hear it played. But, then again, I always listen to the classical station.  ;)

TOD:

Favorite TV Theme Songs:
"I Married Joan" (the first TV song I ever learned by heart)
"Greatest American Hero" (for its absolutely perfect relevance)
"Family Ties" (for its harmonies)
"Facts of Life" (for its cheesiness)

And I'll add my non-TOD "Favorite TV Main Themes":

"Dynasty"
"Perry Mason"
"Bonanza"
"Wonderful World of Disney"
"Lassie"
"My Friend Flicka"

And "Killing Me Softly" was a song off a mostly forgotten (low-selling) album that Clint Eastwood had and used forn "Play Misty For Me", thus making it "famous" as "Golden Girls" did its borrowed song.

And ditto "As Time Goes By"...it became "known" and "associated" only with "Casablanca."

So, in effect, it doesn't matter what the songs were written for...it's only important that they became famous in association with TV shows and movies, for which they are remembered.

And, thus, they are themes from those shows/movies.
