Days of Our Lives open - March 2008

[alexveeuk]

lol was always bold and the beautiful and this i watched when i was young man the memories now to go suffercate myself.

[BleedingMascara04]

we use to say  Like shit through the snowgoose.........

[pokexplosion21]

Oargh, my mum used to watch this all the time and I'd always like the opening but hate the show. This is actually strangely nostalgic...bugger...

[hobyboy07]

I confess to having watched "Passions" on and off but only because the woman who played Sheridan Crane was and still is insanely hot. Fancy Crane wasn't that bad, either.

[krystlerita]

Soap operas are on their last legs, I'm sorry to say

It seems there just aren't enough people staying at home to watch them (at least that's what they're saying)

I grew up with soap operas and this saddens me greatly

[mrprettyricky3000]

@krystlerita days is gettin boring anyways with the constant sami shit.jeez put the focus on someone else

[justinwaynemorgan1]

go to the 2011 full opening of Days of our lives and tell them your opinions of that full opening

[boingokky]

@ChristmasBelles92 I really hate that, too! I'm hoping that they bring the full-blown opening credits and theme back for the 9-26 re-launch! That would be truly fitting, for the show, I think!

[telxon04]

This opening to this show is the one constant in my life for as long as I can remember TV(I am 31). I thank God that it is still airing daily for millions to enjoy. Long Live Days of our Lives!

[Messylin]

The sand must never run out! I can't believe we're coming down to only 4 soaps on air.

[mrprettyricky3000]

@Messylin days is stale now its like they recycle the same plots from previous years.i still like though but they need to come up with good ideas

[chrisjabur]

Opening sequences of Brazilian soap operas are much better than this. Take a look at watch?v=RyqP_dUmYTI for instance.

[LoveMikeyApplehead]

Yes, I am 14, i've been watching the Days of our Lives for more than 6 years and I still love it. Is that so hard to accept?

The Days Of Our Lives rocks!

[stushment]

classic opening theme...EVERYONE knows this theme.

[gtey]

Is that still Macdonald Carey's voiceover, or a voice actor who sounds like him? I can't tell.

[finajet]

reminds me of good old times

[yomamasapeach]

When will this soap opera end?

[ChanceRooney7]

RING-TONE!!!!!

[ADobbelt]

somebody know where i can download this theme song ??? i well be very happy !

[Cyclops236]

@ADobbelt Try Amazon

[ChanceRooney7]

Can't believe that 'Samantha' shot 'E.J.' That was just WRONG. If his character dies, I'm gonna be pissed off. He is great fun to watch....chewing up scenery and spitting everywhere when he yells. That wedding fiasco was classic!

[TimsDale4ever]

It's just so damn beautiful it blows my mind - theme and graphics. I loved it back then when all the shows had their own unique title and theme unlike today: Tell me if AMC, OLTL, and GH's openings don't look and sound the same today. Boring!

[gantonk]

wot no chemtrails?

[JBOtheMAN13]

Damn, after seeing this about 13yrs ago, I thought It'd be different now. Guess not. It's a good intro anyway.

[froggirl80]

Even after all this time, I still expect to hear "This is MacDonald Carey and these are the Days of our Lives". The opening ain't the same without it. RIP, MR. Carey

[DjUnoSagune]

My current ringtone.

I remember first being introduced to DOOL when I was 8 years old. Good times.

[MaceyKemp]

MY Days song..

[east215]

before they ruined it.

[ninedeathsend]

THE  YOUNG ONES

[MichaelJackson0o]

I remember when I was little, I always waited a little for this intro to begin, even though I never watched Days Of Our Lives :p I just thought, and still think, this intro is so so beautiful.♥

[MrTre5670]

@MichaelJackson0o AND LOVELY AND ELEGANT

[Cyclops236]

If you look real carefully when the timer gets to 0:11 you can see this cloud that looks almost like a face but not everyone would notice.

[east215]

the new opening sux - all the orchestration is gone.

[DaysFan65]

@east215 Yes it does! The chimes really help to make the theme

[Zafoshin]

I h8 soaps, but I just loove this opening. It's touching, but true, honest, unlike almost every other soap opening(and content) which is usually too over the top, too theatrical...

[GeneralCane]

The version I hear now completely chops off 0:23-0:28 audio.

[Cyclops236]

@GeneralCane I think you're right about the latest one not to mention it was done by request of the FCC due to viewer complaints about how long it takes to get back to the show.

[GeneralCane]

@Cyclops236 That's dumb... it's a soap, it's SUPPOSED to be suspenseful.

[BigPO2]

What a beautiful theme. It reminds me of the sunny days in the morning and afternoon. Fits well with the show.

[geemoli]

the only thing i like about this show.i was a big fan of this show,but now its all about that annoying bitch sami and her bitch ass drama with ej and rafe.for once i would like to see a storyline where it's not all about sami.

[KamanForever]

Days has the best theme muisc ever!

[solodanceparty]

Still scary as shit.

[bertin248]

Craig Mack used a sample of this on his song "Real Raw"

[softwater88]

I love how Days never changed its theme. So many soaps have changed their themes. . . . and they're rather boring, I think. And they're trying to sound like a smooth jazz station type music.

[Plasvi]

I love this one :) nostalgic!

[Rza06]

project pat north Memphis

[Maybeeee]

wow, well GL had a better intro... Second, I found the Days intro very disturbing and creepy!

[TechnoCat2007]

The German Version is very better than this!

[east215]

i hate the short opening.

[DaysFan65]

@east215 Me too. doesn't give the same effect with out the chimes to start

[iBreatheMusic88]

They need to change it, its sooo depression, I love all my childrens theme... I wish it had words. lol

[ViLLaPiNoZ]

lol the last time i watched this show there was with my aunt where this weird crazy woman with glasses and crooked teeth trying to snatch someone away. But this was around 1996-1999

[nosuchpersonvideo]

That was Susan! Kristen and Stefano recruited her to impersonate Kristen a pregnant. That was a crazy story line, but super funny.

[animeNoz]

I heard this show got cancled...But this is a better into...lol

[lol365]

Nope, not cancelled. Love this intro too.

[tsntana]

The only surviving soap on NBC Daytime.

[xoxofromj2u]

yeah

[LifeIsNotorious]

They never showed a character's face.

[spinnernet1]

i like that. atleast they stuck to their guns, and didn't do what the other soaps did cuz it was the "in thing" to do with the openings.

[LifeIsNotorious]

I agree because this is the most recognizable soap opening ever, even for those who never watched Days..like someone commented that hour glasses always stood out because it was always there after all of these years.

[spinnernet1]

i would possibly argue that Y & R's classic openings over the years were just as recognizable as this one.

[LifeIsNotorious]

Days and Y&R are the two most recognizable openings...buy Y&R kinda change thiers a little bit.

[spinnernet1]

yeah, they have changed it up at times. they should have kept the ones they used from like 1988 to 1999.

atleast the theme song is still recognizable.

[LifeIsNotorious]

Yeah I like that better too..when they would show the characters standing there while the song was playing. Now they don't even show half of the characters anymore.

[spinnernet1]

there's actually a video on youtube called "top 10 soap opera openings", i think it's pretty good. although, maybe Days of our lives should have been higher on that list.

[LifeIsNotorious]

I want to see that and yes Days should've been #1 and I use to like the old opening to the B&B

[angelle19]

DAYS and Y&R are the only two soaps i watch

[HugeDramaQueen159159]

My mom and I argee all the otheres are stupid

[DaysFan65]

@spinnernet1 Without a doubt Y&R and Days. But Days has the opening epigraph that really makes it stick out.

[classof09bitches]

it give me goose bumps when i read these comment n ppl say they use 2 watch soap r their grandma use to watch. that is how i start watchin soap with my grandma at age 4 n still watchin every soap there on tv

[bigbeni92]

its a show..even if u do see a face it was proply done on purpose

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

Drugs are bad....

[dabrat3ll]

wen i was a little kid ma grandparents watched this everyday and they still do and i used to think that he was saying : SOUL OF THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES lol!

[OmegaXP]

I'm a guy and I'm not ashamed I enjoy this show the few times I actually watch it.

Stefano was always my hero. Best villain ever.

[squidwardandspongbob]

nicole is a bitch now

[ohiostmarine29203]

True

[pawt1963]

After MacDonald Carey died, they should have given the honor of narrating the opening to Deidre Hall, rather than delegating it to a nameless announcer.

[tiffanilambert]

But that is Macdonald Carey, isn't it? They just removed the "I'm Macdonald Carey and these are the days of our lives" part.

[pawt1963]

No, I don't think that's Carey, but rather an announcer trying to sound like him. Otherwise why remove the "This is MacDonald Carey..." part?

[dmine45]

That part was removed when he passed away in 1994 according to the Wikipedia article on the show.

[bigbeni92]

no my mom always wached this wen i was 6 and older..i herd it..probly cuz its local stuff

[CraigBauer2010]

I was a kid watching this at my babysitter's house,cause this was one of our favorite soap operas, 30 years for this show on NBC, just like CBS's Guiding Light, 5 stars for this NBC long running hit soap opera series.

[xXSigma21Xx]

Who is the composer of the newer version of this song?

[Cyclops236]

@xXSigma21Xx Bobby Hart

[godklr]

im a 23 year old male, i love cars and i play alot of sport. i got married 2years ago, and now i find myself watching this everyday lol and love it.

[TVNewsroomNZ]

ur not the only one lol

[garelicious83]

people always say they should have an opening with their faces on it like every other soap but that is what makes this soap unique it doesn't have that...and I LOVE LOVE the music too much...it's been the same opening and music for over 40 years...dont change it!

[daysmyway]

I totally agree. I'm so glad that they kept the opening essentially the same. People who have never even seen Days STILL know about the hourglass,,

[MrTre5670]

@garelicious83 I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT

[Kaybug0110]

@garelicious83 I agree. I watch Days all the time with my mom, and the opening is unique, it shouldn't be changed!

[east215]

@Kaybug0110 i hate the way they shortened it. it's not the same without the chimes and the tic-toc

[Cyclops236]

@garelicious83 Before the title appears there's a cloud that looks like a face.

[veggieeater]

@Cyclops236 I can't see it :(

[Focusakker]

AYCS, Days of Our Lives is NBC's only soap, so all you get for soaps is ABC...damn program executives.

[fattoking]

same shit opening every dam year , dang change it!!!

[chevyjeffgordon]

i love this opening. why change it

[SnowflakeSparkles26]

@chevyjeffgordon I know, I wish they would go back to the full theme, they have shortned now. Want this theme back.

[skirimidish000]

best serie ever

[SJkeepinitoldskool87]

good. so do i.

[Nagareboshi6]

I always watch this.
