  • Sucks that I can only view this on my phone.

  • Funny how this theme is so much better than most modern themes, despite being made in the 80's. Really, of kid's game shows in the US, only Brainsurge beats it.

  • this was my shit!!! come to think of it reminds me of a character selection theme for a capcom fighting game of the mid 90s : D

  • Confirmed..his name is MARC Sommers..:)

  • By the way I think his name was actually spelled "Sommers" not Summers..

  • this and wild & crazy kids had the coolest theme music EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm uploading a video response today!!

  • Thank you Harvey, Hello Everyone!!

  • i remember they had to dig in the giant nose for the flag....ah man these were shows

  • 3 people lost on Double Dare

  • These Two Teams Are Trying To Hit The Target And The First Team To Fill Their Bucket Past The Line Will Get $25 And Control Of The Game. Ready, Aim, Fire! It's FAMILY DOUBLE DARE!! And Now, Here's Your Family Double Dare Host, A Guy Who's Full Of Surprises, Marc Summers!

  • i miss double dare show

  • Here's How we Play Double Dare. Marc will ask you a Question. Answer it Correctly, and You'll Win its Dollar Value. If you Don't Know the Answer, You can "Dare" your Opponents to Answer it for Double the Dollars. You must be Careful, because they can "Double Dare" you Back, for Four Times the Dollars. At that Time, You must either Answer the Question, or take a Physcial Challenge.

  • *has multiple flashbacks*

  • @Christianrocker1990 *One up's you and has multiple Nerdgasams*...

  • I am so happy to have grown up during the golden years of kids' television: Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple. What passes for kids' entertainment these days? "iCarly?" "Spongebob?" "Big Time Rush?" Boy, today's kids are really missing out.

  • @MetalSmasherGaming Spongebob was an amazing show. Either you didn't give it a chance or you don't know what you're talking about.

  • @supervanillabear4 (Shrugs) and Cocaine was a helluva drug..(LOL)

  • Man, this brings back memories...Love it!

  • @sfeverX2 Yes it certainly does!

  • I don't know why, but when I hear this version of the Double Dare theme, I usually think about the epicness that is Super Sloppy Double Dare (1989/Viacom Version). That version had some many memorable episodes, but also had so many near misses on the obstacle course.

  • Back when kids were allowed to get messy, bruised, and hurt also known as having fun. These days a precious snowflake winds up with a scratch you can bet they will sue for as much money they can get.

  • Double Dare theme music always sounded so fun & exciting!!!

  • harvey was such a jew

  • @BeLikeWater1000 where in the hell that came from?

  • My FAVORITE show as a kid!!!!

  • ITS A FABULOUS NEW CAR!!!!!!!!

  • Grab The Flag in 60 Seconds or Less Harvey Tell them The GRAND PRIZE!!!

  • @Kttx0283 LOL oh yeah i never would have rememebered that!

  • My all-time favorite show as a kid! It would be so awesome if all seasons were ons on DVD!

  • 0:40 the best part

  • the best game show on television, hands down...especially family double dare. between the outrageous family fun and just literally getting down and dirty, who doesn't wanna be on this show?

  • How ironic that the messiest game show on TV was hosted by a guy with OCD.

  • @tbonesfa wow didnt kno that....IRONIC!!

  • @tbonesfa Exactly. I bet a part of Marc Summers inside was screaming in fear every time that pesky slime made an appearance, or it was some sort of pie throwing Physical Challenge. YOURE MESSING UP HIS FLOOR!!!

  • This song rocks my cock

  • All i have to do is hear those first two chords and i'm instantly hopped up!!

  • STEP OVER THE GACK POND GRAB THE FLAG HAND IT OVER AND WIN THIS....

  • @musicguy727 It's a $500 gift certificate to Kay Bee Toys! Where do you find your favorites toys? At Kay Bee Toys, and where do you find your local Kay Bee Toys? At your nearest shopping mall! Kay Bee Toys: You're Number One Toy Store!

  • @tbone2004 It seemed like every mall near me had one, disappeared off the face of the earth - it really was fun being a kid and wandering though Kay Bee, and ToysRUs

  • what site I could get this song?

  • Marc Summers- WIN

    Harvey- WIN

    DOUBLE DARE- NEED I SAY MORE?

    ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GOOOOO!!!

  • Was anybody else saying "On your mark! Get set....GOOOO!" in their head at the beginning of this? haha

  • Despite Family Double Dare being the one everyone remembers, I say this...

    Super Sloppy Double Dare (1989/Viacom Syndicated) was the best version by far. Biggest set, biggest obstacles, messiest physical challenges. Even though only 100+ episodes were produced.

  • The theme to my childhood.

  • I LOVE DOUBLE DARE SHOW!, it excited, happy, and wow there are greatest DD show ever they made, you know I do saw this on nickelodeon gas on this show and that terrific, and that sucks nickelodeon gas cancel logo and never return, man that sucks those days, you know nickelodeon gas show best channel program YOUR GAME, YOUR SPORT, GAME AND SPORT NETWORK FOR KIDS, :) that back then good old days, DD hopefully you come back i will always remember you,

    F*** iCarly, Big Time Rush, nickelodeon suk

  • I like the old version from 1986 I six years old time does fly damn.

  • Holy crap it's like my childhood summed up in one minute twenty seconds. Thanks so much for uploading this.

  • greatest gameshow ever!

  • 0:02 On your mark...

    0:04 Get set...

    0:06 GO!!!

  • Ah memories.

  • This was actually one of the better themes out there

  • My mom was telling me about this show

  • My lifelong dream is to go back in time, grab 8 year old versions of me and my best friend, and take them back further in time to give my younger self a chance to be on this show.

  • Double Dare was truly the show to throw him into the spotlight. Not only did it showcase his natural charisma and wit, but helped him cope with what wouldn't become public until years later, his OCD. Not only has he hosted multiple other television programs, but now has his own production company. From working at a network, to announcing, to hosting, to running his own business. The man is truly great at what he does. I want to shake his hand.

  • Double Dare was the first and the longest running game show to appear on Nickelodeon: (Original run 1986-1993).

  • When we were watching this on TV in the 80s, our parents and older siblings were probably scoffing at us, thinking "Man, TV was so much better in MY day."

    Nostalgia has a funny way of making everything seem perfect. This was a great show, but there's good shows on now, too.

  • @Noordledoordle Your comment should auto-post whenever someone says, "X was better in my day.". Your right it's a cliche.

    But I think I know why always people always say it. It's status raising; compliment/praise to it's audience.

  • double dare was my fave show i nickelodeon i used to wish i was on the show geting all messy marc summers now hosts unwrapped on the food network i glad to see marc hosting

  • ON YOUR MARK GET SET GO !!!!!!

  • Epic guitar solo.

  • @FatherElectric It was the only show that you could make a "mess" of cash! C'mon!

  • Now that is what you call a gameshow theme, I love this song :)

  • I loved this show as a kid and omg I always wanted to win prizes and get slimed!!

  • bring back the old Nickelodeon: shows like salute ur shorts, AYAOD, pete & pete, double dare, u can't do that on tv, guts, wild crazy kids, SNICK, my bro and me and much moooore

  • OMG i totally agree

  • Ahh, listening to the theme brings back so many great childhood memories! Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time. I would always watch this show while trying to do my homework...lol.

  • This is your announcer Harvey speaking Double Dare has been filmed in front of a live audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando , Florida!! XD

  • Who cares?

  • Comment removed

  • mark summers and Harvey are the best, i wish that they could bring this show back for a reunion episode.

  • WE'LL TAKE THE PHYSICAL CHALLENGE!!

  • We'll take the physical challenge!

  • This makes me want a Huffy bike, or a pair of LA Lights.

  • Comment removed

  • I used to watch this on Nick GAS every morning @ 6 before I went to school.

  • If you have this flag in your hand in 60 seconds or less....you'll win today's grand prize.....A FABULOUS NEW CAR!!!!

    Double Dare was THE show that put Nickelodeon on the map, and one of my all time favorites too.

  • That and shows like Finders Keepers, Mr. Wizard's World, and You Can't Do That on Television! But yeah, Double Dare was the king of them all.

  • 0:01 On your mark...

    0:03 Get set...

    0:06 GO!!!

  • @nowhammies10 These two teams are really making a mess of our set. Whoever fills their bucket past the line first wins 20 bucks and control of Round 1 on the only game show where getting messy is a good thing.

    IT'S SUPER SLOPPY DOUBLE DARE! And now, here's your Super Sloppy Double Dare host, Marc Summers!

  • ; _ ;

    I miss this!

  • If Nick ever brings back Double Dare, Get a good host and do it right. We don't want another Double Dare 2000.

  • I'm sure in 2010 or something, Nickelodeon will bring this back.

  • I wrote to Nickelodeon about 5 months before my 22nd birthday, asking them if they could revive the show, but with Marc Summers as the host and maybe take the key of the theme up about 2 notches. No reply :-(

  • I seriously hope they bring this show back.....I miss it SO much!!! :(

  • And NO Triple Dare Challenge. It slowed down the game too much.

  • The red team is going to the obstacle course

  • Comment removed

  • How many times I wished I could have been on that show.

    Good times getting up and watching Nickelodeon. :)

  • Grab the Flag and Harvey...Tell em what they'll win...

  • Harvey was the man.

  • Someone was gettin down on that guitar huh!!!!!

  • No other television show makes me feel more like a kid than Double Dare.

    (And also, Animaniacs)

  • ON YOUR MARK!!!

    GET SET!!

    GO!!!

  • I used to hum this theme all the time

  • No wonder our kids are so fucked up today.

    They don't stimilating programming like this to watch. I grew up on this, Wild & Crazy Kids, Nick Arcade, LofHT, What would you do? Among others.

    Nick encouraged kids to be kids. When it comes down to it, kids are going to want to make a mess and screw around. They're KIDS. Instead, we force these goddamned medicines down their throats because our gutless parents are lazy SOB's.

  • PHYSICAL CHALLENGE!!!!

  • From what I've seen of DD I often ask myself, if the UK could do a damn good version of Fun House that lasted THIRTEEN years, imagine how long Double Dare would last. The main difference of course would be it would have to be points pot cash in the main round as under 16s cant win cash in the EU or Australia.

  • I loved this show. I used to vocalize the theme song every time I heard it. ^^

  • Man...how I wish I could go back to these days!

  • Doesn't anyone get nostalgic for this music?  Doesn't it bring back fond memories of watching this show?

  • @WesNumber1 Yes, yes it does. I'm disappointed Nickelodeon practically canceled Nick GAS... D: Best channel EVER.

  • @WesNumber1 yes it does, not only for this show, but the best era for Nickelodeon period was from '86 to, I'll be fair and say '98, and yes I miss Nick Gas too, they need to do another network like that.

  • @WesNumber1 I watched this all time with my family.

  • @WesNumber1

    You freaking betcha it does! All these years later, it still has my favorite theme music.

  • @WesNumber1 Ahhhh...The Good Old Days.

  • @WesNumber1

    It sure as heck does for me! To this day, this is my favorite theme song of all time when it comes to game shows.

  • There is a shorter version of this played that rolled through the end credits and you hear Harvey saying " Double Dare has been filmed in front of a live studio audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios or was it Doc Holiday who said that!! Then in the earlier episodes you hear it when Harvey says "This is your announcer Harvey saying So Long .. you see the "Reeves Entertainment logo b4 or after the da da da

  • This theme gets me pumped!!!

  • i used to watch this show everyday after school. Marc Summers is always entertaining.

  • sounds like a street fighter 2 stage BGM...lol

  • I was on Super Sloppy Double Dare back in the day. This theme really took me back. Sweet sweet (Sloppy) memories...Thanks for posting. I needed a trip in the way back machine.

  • Did you win???

  • Yes I (We) Did. Of course we did. Blue Team RULES!

  • were the physical challenges as easy as they looked to us at home? Cuz it always looks ez on tv, that used to frustrate the hell outta me

  • They were more mentally challenging than anything else. Knowing your racing against time and pressured to go as fast as you can was extreme. Very fun but extreme. As for the physical part it wasnt anything to hard to handle. My favorite part is at the final obstacle course. I got to drop through a giant makeshift gumball machine...That was fun!

  • for real, thats sweet. where u on the blue eam or red team? i like the version when they were universal studios in florida.

  • I was on the blue team. The only thing I have left is a dog tag with the super sloppy double dare logo in blue. The red team got em in red

  • That is so amazing. You truly lived more in those few hours than most of us will in the course of our entire lives.

  • Why thank you. I did have a great time doing it. Its will always be one of my favorite childhood memories.

  • Man! Hearing this theme brings back the memories! I I really miss this show...

    I always think about it whenever I hear this music

    I luv this theme!! :)

  • I haven't seen this show in ages. I love it.

  • I loved this show.

  • If only the pre-syndication music from '86-87 were floating around the internet, and not just the '88 on music from this show.

  • how did u get this song?

  • This takes back to my childhood; I would watch this every Saturday and Sunday. My mother never understood why I liked the show so much.

  • My favorite game show.

  • Ruffle's!

  • can you find any full episodes?

  • LOL back in the day i would of given my left arm to the obstacle course... today i would give both my arms to do the obstacle course!!! love this show

  • Like the Nostalgia Critic said, give Mark Summers a freakin medal for putting his OCD aside to do Double Dare....Balls baby!

  • I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

    Marc Summers is not an OCD victim. HE'S A GOD DAMN HERO!!!!!

  • I never said he was, I said I'm glad he put it aside to do Double Dare...anyone else might have just curled into a fetual position...but not Mark Summers...balls! =D

  • I say we name the award in his honor. The Marc Summers Award/Medal.

  • @HazzardousEco LOL just wacthed that one1

  • @HazzardousEco Didnt Mark Summers find out about his OCD after Double Dare went off the air?

  • like, sorry miss one word

  • NICK was awesome back then there were, GOOD game show, good cartoon and everything we like.

    But now NICK sucks they don't do this fun stuff anymore, I feel bad for kids nowadays they miss all the good game show we

  • WOW THE MEMORIES !!! :) the Double Dare theme never gets old, and I love the guitar sound.

  • BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • I liked this show becasue its was cool! And eveything was rec in orlando florida :)!

  • I used to love this show!

  • LOL.....I had a MAD ASS crush on Marc Summers when I was little! Good God, this brings back a lot of memories! :-D

  • KICK ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • this would make a badass ringtone

  • Double Dare on Nick Is one of the reasons why The 80's ruled the world.

  • I would have loved it if I were a contestant on Double Dare. My favorite obstacle was the Sundae Slide.

  • That game show was a real SMASH HIT !!!!!!

  • does anyone know why they quit showing the old gameshows[not just DD] on GaS?

  • Around here, it's not GAS anymore. It's something to do with Noggin.

  • When Nick made the N and noggin, full time networks because that and Noggin was the same network they got rid of GAS.

  • yea this is a new version of double dare not the origional from 1986. Its the same song but there are differences in the beats.

  • Either way the theme kicks a**

  • this show was the sh*t on Nickelodeon when i was younger. they used to have a channel called Nick GAS (games and sports), but now they took it away! that sucks!

  • I know, what the hell are these ppl thinking?!?

  • I love that show

  • best pyshical game show ever

  • They totally should bring this show back...make it prime time...whatever. But not in the family format--that killed it, IMO.

  • BEST GAME SHOW.

    EVER.

  • can you pleas upload double dare theme from 1986-1990

  • I thought this was it.

  • i never send you a message i wonder how it got sent...anyway just to reply

  • this show is old, don't put it back on, revive it, get a new cast, modernize it and let a new generation fall in love. People are beginning to forget why slime and nick go together. its cause of this show!!

  • This song brings back so many fond memories of watching this show, much to my Mother's dismay of saying, "No you can't watch that." I wish I still had my copy of "Double Dare: Super Sloppiest Moments Ever". Oh to be a kid in the late 1980's again.

  • COrrection. It titled "The Messiest Moments"

  • This theme song really rules the waves. With Rock music really taking over the genre at the time & Edd Kaleoff knew wanted the show needed. I feel that he might be the best game show theme song writer of them all. It conveys the exciting & fun atmosphere of game & does not give a sense of boredom at all. Of all game show theme I have never seen so many derviative of it on the same show; the theme also has spinoffs to it's time cues & bonus cues. 5 stars this tune is worthey off & all too perfect

  • i miss this show so much!!

  • They Put allthat back on the air.  Bring back this show . this show made nick

  • I would have killed to get onto this show. Too bad I was too young at the height of it's popularity.

  • yo i also would have kiled to be on the show too
