Excellent theme! I did played it and still have in home the complete charts for Alt, Tenor, Baritono Sax; Trumpet, Trombone, Guitar, Bass, Piano and Drum, and is one of the best themes that I played with my sax in bands. Is the round funky music. (sorry my bad english)
@BloodSplatter97 The movie is complete an utter rubbish. The PR machine got stuck in 3rd and revved its little head off about how great it was and it FAILED.. a real re-make fall on yer A55 flop
I don't understand why they used this theme song for just the 2nd episode. The first, 3rd, and 4th episodes used a different theme song. This one was the best...
@Thirdgen83 yeah i remember even as a kid being deeply disappointed when they changed it... fuckin annoying, meddling tv executives that don't know shit.
growing up in houston texas back in the 70's my brother and i were the only to black kids who wanted to be starky and hutch in the house. damn we were kids we never thought about the color of anyone's skin until my older sister said ''their white and ya'll black. that was a famous line that we still talk about today as adults. man i loved that show. what happened to great t.v. like this? man i miss the 70's.much love to all you 70's kids.those were the greatest times ever being a kid.
The tune is called Gotcha and it's by Tom Scott, from his album Blow Out. It crops up on 70s funk compilations now and again. UK listeners might also find the 90s acid jazz cover by JTQ (James Taylor Quartet).
The tv show was better than the movie there's nothing that could replace the tv show,i didn't like the movie compared tothe show.i love this theme song the best the other ones didn't seem to fit.Back in the middle 70's i wouldn't miss this show for anything.
no no no, the Original season one opening puts this crap to shame. this version seems to be trying to be disco-ey instead of trying to depict the series subject
The tv show was way better than the movie. The movie was too much of a paraody. Atleast the video game tried to replicate tv show. They even had Antonio doing Huggy's voice in the game.
Watch it again. Instead of trying to remake the series they made it into a satire movie. I hated it in the theater, saw it a second time on HBO, and then the third time I laughed my a@# off. No movie could do this show justice without the original cast.
I HATED this music! I watched this show since it's first season. When season two came along and they changed the music, I couldn't believe that they'd changed the theme music. The first season music was the best!
