Hollywood Squares Closing Theme 1998-2002 "I Love Hollywood"

[DDRHottestPlayer]

In 2001-2002, there was a different kind of version of I love hollywood. Where can I find that?

[pacmannick]

Paul Lynde is way better than Whoopi Goldberg

I LOVE HOLLYWOOD!!!!

[godzillahulk]

she sure sounds different from sister act.

[SparkMaster2117]

Now i knew Whoopi was behind its production, but i did not know she sang the song too! this was the best part!

Do you have the remix of "squarebiz" on Hollywood Squares, just like Teena Marie's version?

[bluebear1985]

Here's an interesting zinger, and I believe it was something like this (though it may not be exact):

Tom Bergeron: At the ESPY Awards, where was Samuel L. Jackson referring to when he said, "I can be dressed like a pimp and I can blend right in."?

Wayne Brady: Dennis Rodman's house.

reminds me of 1998 when I would come back from school and watch it!!!!

[ColmOwens]

The best theme song for a game show. I hope they revive it if Hollywood Squares comes back.

It's still Whoopi singing here, right?

Also, for those wondering, I only saw one episode in Season 2 that the end credits ran so long they made it to the 1:30 mark, and that's about it.

[megamanj2004X]

was that from one of the episodes post-Mark Stender's big $100K+ 5-day reign?

[howierules86]

The two singers of this theme were Paul Weinberg & Jenni Muldaur, and the theme was composed by Mambo Music, Ltd. This should clear up the fact that Whoopi was not involved in the theme in any way.

[SurveySays1986]

It was actually composed by those 2. Whoopi sang it.

Can You The Sound Effects From The Show

[Yugi40]

I LOVE this song! In fact, I was dancing to the song each time when someone wins the bonus round!

[jjlucash]

I refuse to believe that this is Whoopi's voice. Maybe it was a little bit of studio altering, but I'm thinking of a more raspy voice like in the 'Sister Act' voices.

[VmKid]

I think it would be awesome of someone could mix the opening and closing together for one big song. This part doesn't include the verse about driving down Hollywood Boulevard.

[SurveySays1986]

Who knew Whoopi Goldberg could sing like a young white man? I actually love it.

[charlieprov7]

can u put a download link for this song plz

[Ivoryface86]

Actually, make that 1998-2001 with this variation.

[megamanj2004X]

yep, b/c during the 2001-02 season, they made a remixed version of "I Love Hollywood."

[pricefan87]

Actually the 2000-2002 (3rd and 4th Season) version made a remixed version.

[megamanj2004X]

Nope, S3 (2000-01) still used the 1998 version of the "I Love Hollywood" theme. Even when they went on location to New York City sometime in S3 (which was the only time in the Bergeron version where they were not taping at CBS-TV in Hollywood), they still used the 1998 music variation of the HS theme, only w/ the words "Hollywood in New York" replacing "I Love Hollywood" in the lyrics.

Also check out a clip from Julie Pinson on HS in S3 on YT and you'll hear the 1998 HS opening theme on it.

I don't think you ever got to hear much after 1:07 or so on television during the closing credits. Thanks for posting, very cool!

[jjlucash]

Heck, you rarely heard after 0:50!
