have you ever heard the remix of the price is right theme? it has a DJ scratching along with it. its pretty cool. hmm, now i wonder if there are other game show theme remixes...
No, this Jeopardy theme is the original from '84-92. In the '92 theme, the bongo-style percussion is a bit more pronounced. Also, the '92 version started at 0:19 of what you hear here. (i.e., the first part of the "techno" opening was dropped)
Actually, "A Swingin' Safari" was a big hit for Billy Vaughn and his Orchestra. My mother had the record and I liked it. It only stayed the theme for a few years and then they switched to another theme, I guess written especially for the show. Much like "Plink! Plank! Plunk!" by Leroy Anderson was the theme for "I've Got a Secret" for most of the 1950s.
Techenly, The Dating Game was really not a game show just Love Conection it was not a game but, they called it a game show when it really was not one.
Show me just how good you are with the themes. Do you have (1) the original Jeopardy! theme (when Art Fleming was the host) or the original Match Game theme (from the 1960s - Swingin' Safari)?
He's talking about the original Match Game, which ran from 1962-1969 on NBC. The song in question is "A Swingin' Safari", a song composed and originally recorded by Bert Kaempfert.
I heard that Jeopardy was an hour long before they cut down this version of the theme

doesn't the tune to Jeopardy start to sound like the tune to 'I'm a little teapot' after a while?
Just an observation

disneygrab1 3 years ago
omg yes; i always thought that was the song they played but i guess not
KeepGoingHillary2012 3 years ago
Which song?
disneygrab1 3 years ago
i always thought it was i'm a little tea pot song- it sounds just like it.
KeepGoingHillary2012 3 years ago
I don't think so.
sorry.
disneygrab1 3 years ago
Hillary's right. The Jeopardy song does resemble "I'm A Little Teapot".
The main piece, anyway.

O.K. yeah, very funny.
disneygrab1 3 years ago
I take it you've never heard that song?
dragonboi77 3 years ago
I have, but I don't like it all anymore.
disneygrab1 3 years ago
Now I agree with you there. That can be an annoying-ass song once you've gotten older.
dragonboi77 3 years ago
You're right, it also goes when you're 14 like me.
disneygrab1 3 years ago
I've been there too, kid. I know. All the kiddie stuff is long gone to us by then.
Anyway, thanks for the memories...
