The return of the[last word]thread

[144man]

I agree. I was reading the last post and the theme from "Burke's Law" came straight into my mind.

[westgrandboulevard]

'Cagney & Lacey' is another one which does it for me...even though it was regularly re-recorded or remixed, but generally still no better than the original...

[moe]

You make valid points, BUT........the king in my mind will ALWAYS be Sir Laurie Johnson with The Avengers!!!!!
However, if I must:
It Takes a Thief
77 Sunset Strip
Hawaiian Eye
Man From U.N.C.L.E
I am a fan of "Burke's Law"
Want more?

[144man]

I don't know if we ever got "Hawaiian Eye.

Mustn't forget "Bonanza" and "Rawhide".

[moe]

"Hawaiian Eye" was around the same time as 77 Sunset Strip in the 60's.
Yes, forgot Rawhide & Bonanza!!

[westgrandboulevard]

You've elevated Laurie Johnson, Moe. While he's not a 'Sir' [[not yet..) he was indeed recently awarded Member of the British Empire [[MBE)

Another favourite of mine is Quincy Jones' theme for 'Ironside'.

[moe]

Ok, thought he was a "Sir". Ironside not a favorite of mine. What about Rockford Files?

[144man]

I can't remember the Rockford Files theme. I can't remember the themes from Laramie or from Wagon Train either, although I used to watch them regularly. I'll have to give them a listen on Youtube. I'm sure I'll recognise them as soon as I hear them.

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, I liked the Rockford Files, and the theme. James Garner was always very agreeable to watch.

[moe]

How could we forget "The Addams Family?"

[westgrandboulevard]

I'd prefer to forget them if I could - that theme is really annoying....!

Prefer The Munsters and the theme - guitar[[s) are a tad jangly for me, but the brass section was good.

[144man]

I like the "Addams Family" Theme because it used to be on an "Addams Family" pinball machine I used to play.

[westgrandboulevard]

I don't quite know why, but that made me chuckle. You must have been very determined....

[144man]

There used to be a sequence where the ball went into the Twilight Zone and did really weird things.

[westgrandboulevard]

And you stared at it for over two hours...?

[moe]

Did you blink?

[westgrandboulevard]

I suspect his eyes gave every indication of having completely stuck....

[moe]

Suspended animation westgrand!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

As in Disney, freeze frame.......

[moe]

One cel to another!!

[144man]

Everything feels flat.

[westgrandboulevard]

Another dimension is required...

[144man]

Are you calling me shallow?

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes,and I feel that most deeply.

[moe]

Quite a disappointment all of this shallowness.........must you wade in the water??

[144man]

Time for some skinny dipping, everyone.

[westgrandboulevard]

If you're not lying, then I'm lying down......

[moe]

I shall float!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Make sure you're facing upwards.....

[moe]

It would seem more lively to do so, westgrand!!

[144man]

Glug! Glug! Glug!

Whisper it quietly, as it is indeed a great track, but I've never liked Diana's vocal. Trying much too hard, and over-strident. Now, if Tammi Terrell could have had a crack at it, instead.....

[144man]

I possibly have the world's worst voice, so I find a good test of the strength of a song is if I can sing it and keep in tune. "Going Down for the Third Time" is one I can't sing. On another thread, they mentioned "Life Beats". Now that's a song I fail utterly at, so I think Motown made the right decision not to release it as a single.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, waddya know! We have our own Quality Control department, right here....

[moe]

Can I join the QC department??

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, and your duties begin when you assess all the known recordings by 144man.....

[moe]

HAHA!! Will do!!

[westgrandboulevard]

And if you want a hit, get 144man to do a demo. That will sort it.

Forget all that stuff about "would you buy a sandwich or this record?".....

[moe]

That'll make it clear!

[westgrandboulevard]

We will only release number one hits - that a frog could sing.

[moe]

Heard one of those yesterday!! She was riveting!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Wasn't a woman going by the name of Lily Pad, was it??

[moe]

She should of!! All I know she wore a lot of green!!

[westgrandboulevard]

And had a big mouth....

[moe]

Green is one of the colors for fall here, westgrand!!

[144man]

Maybe I'll come up with one good recording before I croak.

[westgrandboulevard]

Before you hop it....

You could consider having your voice triple tracked, and perform 'The Frog Chorus'....

[moe]

Would we have to help him westgrand?

[westgrandboulevard]

Only if absolutely necessary. We should make no moves which might upstage him.

[moe]

Why? Would he be hopping mad?
