Jackpot 1974-1975 theme music

[TheSunnyStar]

This song should be the official "Shit's Going DOWN" song, lol!

[lsmftymf]

Geoff Edwards was probably the first game show host to not dress like he worked on Wall Street. His was definitely 1970s fashions - no ties and a lot of polyester in unusual patterns and colors.

[TheTexasCatfish]

Awesome tune!!

[DartsRme312]

MEL ALLEN RULED ON TWIB

[yammie75]

Whoop - It must be Saturday @ noon. Why? Because this music is on!!! Mel Allen's voice was unmistakeable, and missed, still.

[OriginalRocketJock]

[mrmabstoa]

[12lfme12]

[Knucks55]

THIS WEEK IN BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!!

[191965]

I used to love Jackpot! I once had the home game to this show by Milton Bradley(now a brand of Hasbro). I no longer have it; it went to a yard sale. But there once was a Jackpot! home game. Look on eBay and you may find it there.

[bpot22]

@191965 I actually own the Jackpot board game from MB that I bought from ebay once and I have never even played it.

[Jiltedin2007]

RIP: Mel Allen

[Digifan23]

If Jackpot is ever revived they use this theme

[Airsoftcleaner]

@Digifan23 No ,Because MLB Properties and The Phoenix Group Baught The rights to this theme

[exponentialmouth]

Whats the best way to find mp3iffy to download this mp3? Someone told me to google mp3iffy.

[saml760]

its called "Jet Set" by Mike Vickers.

[operator35]

@saml760

Yes, as previously stated in the description.

[andrewmorrison85]

Is this song titled "jet set" from a music library? & if so, which? Thanks in advance!

[Lupton2000]

Does the 1975 finale exist?

[sfgnyy]

@Lupton2000  It does exist. You can find it in the World Series DVD/Video collection. My brother and sister in law bought it as a Christmas gift. This song is featured in the dvd/video.

[sfgnyy]

this song brings great memories of baseball in the late seventies. It was always a great joy to hear the late and legendary Mel Allen's voice on Saturday mornings. I miss those days.

[OriginalRocketJock]

And now, on This Week in Basebal...TWIB Notes from around the Major Leagues...

[hpedraz1]

I can still hear Mel Allen saying HOW BOUT THAT!

[raiders1967]

I barely remember Jackpot, but I certainly didn't remember its theme music. So for me, this music will always be associated with TWIB.

[PatrioticPirate]

Remember when they used to end the show with everyone yelling "JACKPOT!" I used to get in trouble for yelling along with them. I was 4 or 5 then...

[Dannymac82]

This was the intro song in the 1975 World Series Documentary

[colgatecrew]

I second that. This is the entire soundtrack to that documentary under Joe Garagiola's narration. NBC had the world series that year so it makes sense this song was used.

[CrazyBoutThe70s]

love it..very 70s!

[genesisfan2009]

Very nice.

Thanks!

[bluebear1985]

One of these 15 people is holding the holding the jackpot riddle, which could win them up $50,000 in cash. So you never know when one of them will stand up and yell.... JACKPOT! And now, here's your host, Geoff Edwards!

[gameshowluvr86]

Reminds me a bit of Ferris Bueller's Day Off... :)

[SFFOOL76]

dude, totally I never tripped over that. Right at the start.

[gamshwfan]

It sounds like this music works okay on Jackpot! Very sophistaicated for a show taped in New York City & a tough riddle game. A little orchestra involved in a theme like this should make a game pretty classy & belongs on an "Upper Class" game; not sure if that fits for the 70's Jackpot! Leisure suits don't fit in with that theme. As for $50,000 a minute, I can't really imagine that theme fitting in with someone winning the $50,000. This theme needed another game show besides these. 3 stars.

COMMENT TEST

[Boudreaux2001]

Any way to get this full song here in a file for play on computer? I'd love to have it if anyone can help

[secondchance1977]

i would try copying and pasting the "embed" part by selecting "select all"

[secondchance1977]

If you go to farmngdaleweathernet it leads to a game show theme website which has this under "jackpot 1974" hope it helps :)

[mrzip8]

Its called Jet Set and you came get it from i-tunes. i remember it from This week in baseball as the opening theme.

[tvgator1]

What is the name of this theme?

[ieeeeeeeeeeeee]

"Jet Set" by Mike Vickers

[KPCarter2000]

The was the orignal theme of Jackpot before they use the "Shoot for the Stars" theme for the Jackpot (Mike Darrow, and the 1989 versions)

[tvtimetravel]

The theme was also used for commercials for The Treasury, JCPenney's now-defunct discount store division.

[Oldcrotch]

This was a great gameshow with broad appeal. Brought back by Global TV in Canada, this show could do well during primetime during summer repeat season.

[secondchance1977]

The 74-74 episodes were erased.

[secondchance1977]

i mean 74-75

[artytoons]

This song either conjures up the voice of Don Pardo ("Jackpot") or Mel Allen ("This Week in Baseball"). Memorable voices both.

[deweyhighschool]

today on this week in baseball major league baseball gets into full gear.

[PopeInnocentXIV]

All that and more, y'all,

on This Week in Baseball!

[placekicker]

How about that!?!

[Airsoftcleaner]

@PopeInnocentXIV Too Cool,Or Hello Everbody, This is Mel Allen.

[rwboa22]

Sounds more like a theme to a '70s police drama. Too bad they could not use this when Jackpot (w/ Geoff Edwards) went back on regular TV.

[rwboa22]

Sounds more like the theme show to a '70s police drama. Too bad they could not reuse the theme when "Jackpot" (w/ Geoff Edwards of course) came back on American TV in 1989.

[bruce64h]

one of the best themes ever.

[secondchance1977]

i agree!!!!!!!!!!!
