I haven't the foggiest idea. George
-
"Love and Death"? George
-
Familiar, but I can't place them. George
-
It's not the theme to Dig-Dug, Popeye, Berzerk, or Missle Command, either. I guess I stopped playing video games too soon! George

Sudo, your clip is the same as Kathy's. I thoght it was the main theme from NBC's Mystery Movie of the Week, but it appears I'm mistaken. It might be the Banacek theme, but I can't find it anywhere to compare. It's not McMillan and Wife. George Oh, I still watch several hours of TV a week, though it's almost all hour-long dramas now, instead of all teh sitcoms I used to watch. I watch sci-fi like "Surface"; super-hero stuff like "Smallville"; and a couple of cop dramas: "NCIS" and "Monk." The only half-hour shows I watch are Justice League and Batman cartoons.

Kathy, Was that the main theme from the "NBC Mystery Movie of the Week"? Each of the shows had its own theme, as well; Henry Mancini wrote the main theme. George
-
Videodrome? George
-
"An American Werewolf in London"? George
-
I think the first two were Banacek and Columbo, but others were added later: McMillan and Wife and Cool Million come to mind. George
-
Actually, I watched McCloud all the time (as well as the other "Mystery Movies" it rotated with). It's funny, because I was thinking that most of the (non-Aaron Spelling) shows of the 70's were cop shows, but this was a western theme song. I shoulda known! George

I post a puzzle with four pictures of women and you don't chime in until this? George
-
Yes. George

"Be good, be gone, or be dead!" George
-
Yet. George

The only time "bathroom on the right" even reached my consciousness was when a DJ said it jokingly. I understand that often lyrics were hard to make out, but that just doesn't make any sense! On the other hand, two lyrics that I misunderstood may not have occurred to the rest of you, either, but at least there was some logic there: You don't need a pinhead (penny) just to hang around. (Down on the Corner) What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain, when I needed sunshine on my brain (sunshine, I got rain)? (I'm a Believer) Kathy, is Paw a gambler? Sudo, I watched a lot of TV in the 70's but I don't recognize that theme. George

Right. But Anne Murray didn't write "Daydream Believer." Neil Diamond did write "I'm a Believer." George
-
Yo! Pawnbroker!!! George
-
Sudo, With the pasing of Don Knotts, that song has been heard quite a bit lately. What a fine show. Times were simpler then. George
-
I thought so. Hopefully, someone else will get it, too. George
-
Neil Diamond recorded his hit "I'm a Believer" after the Monkees, if I remember correctly. George
-
The band was Manfred Mann's Earth Band (the 70's version of 60's group Manfred Mann, famous for "Do Wah Ditty" and "The Mighty Quinn") What made this song special? I dunno. George
-
It sounds a lot like Haydn or Handel (not quite inventive enough for Mozart). As to who may have performed it in the 60's -- no idea. It does remind me of several disco "remakes" of some classics: "Thus Spake Zarathustra"*; "Night on Disco (Bald) Mountain"; and my favorite, "Joy," a peppy version of "Jesu, Joy of Man'd Desiring." George * best known these days as the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey"
-
I was a little confused about those two as well, but it was my best guess. Anyway: George
-
Ken, It seems that most of us know the name of the western, so go ahead and give it away! George P.S. I knew this one when I first heard it. I just didn't hear it until now!
-
I think we need another clue. George
