Not strictly a theme tune, BUT...

Sy Snootles and The Max Rebo Band - Lapti Nek:

dan speaks, cloaca listens

that fusion section...man...what is it about fusion that activates the mind and the crotch?


oh and btw - when i first actually started listening to fusion, my immediate reaction was..."sounds kind of like that rockin magnum theme tune"

[Bob Garside]

^Hehe, Magnum is muscular and angular, it doesn't conform. The 'Hunter' music, with Fred Dryer, has a similar level of attractive non-conformity, and anyplace I see the name 'Frank Lupo', I expect action:

PS: How do you analyse those bass-stabs in Lapti Nek? Sexy. Proper sexy.

[black_mamba]

Ghostbusters anyone?

My vote goes to Ulysees, Cities of Gold (anyone else got the boxset?), Dogtanian, A-Team and Airwolf.

I always dreamed of forming a punk rock band that did nothing but play old theme tunes. You know it would sound awesome livel!

i had to look that up, is that some sort of out-take?


but yeah, that bass is marauding, yet economical. a real zawinul feel there, i reckon...you ever get that feeling, "i know SOME of just how influential weather report weer, but so few others do..."? :rolleyes:

josef would never have gone for such a straight-up disco vibe, but theres plenty of "dangerous" note choices to suggest the restless, yet thoughtful and steady hand of the late great austrian. *weeps out a bum note and lites a jazz cigarillo from the natural g-ass*

This thread goes to prove how vivid our childhood memories are, I guess. Here's one I remember from the mid-70s.

Just started watching Six Feet Under again, after I found it on one of the computers here; the theme tune for the show is really nice:

thought of a couple more to add here:

Midnight Caller

Mr Rossi (this is the original Italian version since it has the great cartoon intro)

Quincy

Rupert the Bear (70s version)

Van de Valk

[The Ghost Of Troubled Joe]

Lol....Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles!!!

I accidently discovered the German version on Youtube...Listen to it, it's very funny, especially the deep voiced replies to the singing.
