This music sucks.

Nothing like the original.

As a 20-ish yearl old American, I was born too late to have seen them air this on non-subscription TV (regular TV). But after watching some episodes on YouTube, it has EASILY become one of my favorite TV shows of all time. And this theme... there is absolutely nothing like it on the air now..... except for maybe the slightly updated/slightly butchered. Hawaii 5-0 theme (2010).

MANY thanks for posting this, Paul! I've never heard of the Marketts either, before now. Though this isn't the version used on the TV show, it's a DYNAMITE rendition of one of my all time favorite TV theme songs...I fondly recall watching the show as a kid in the 60's...even then I knew Diana Rigg was one of the hottest babes on TV..and an intelligent actress to boot! :)

[MrCrassuswild]

wow i rather like that version!

[TheBacmaster]

This brings back many a memory!!! I used to watch this when I was young...

Thanks.

They were really great themes weren't they. Incredible. Nothing around today like this.

@Iwantherboots sorry wrong account,lol

[Iwantherboots]

This songs rocks! The Marketts probably used Hal Blaine for these sessions. Does anybody know?

[jenks1937]

They really knew how to compose amazing themes in the sixties,out of sight. This version is superb.

[AceTheBathound]

@jenks1937 I'll say... That was when musical themes for tv shows really were in their own... Not like some in the here and now...

[triforcenerd]

WOW really OUT OF LIMITS

[enjoi2525]

[roscodawg]

Were all of the instruments in this played by regular members of the Marketts?

[Actionguy1]

Very nice! I like the vocals.

Great tribute to a great series!

[atler88]

Nice to see comment and appreciation for one aspect of the favorite tv show of my youth and all time. Also just caught the rendition of the theme song here on Youtube that hilariously features background video of belly dancers. It's outrageous!

"Mrs. Peel...We're needed."

[lecreatif]

To much noise.... not as it should be..

sometimes less is realy more..

[Pauluk33]

My thanks for the comments and messages on youtube so far.

I run a radio show on music world radio. might in the future do a youtube special or something

[michaelzstuff]

@Pauluk33 Hi, I just found this page. Didn't know this song was on here. Only took me two years to find it. Do you still run a radio show? I would love for you to run something like this on YouTube with all the great songs the Routers and The Marketts recorded. Thanks for posting. I posted about a dozen of their songs.

Best regards, Michael Z. Gordon

[whispperson]

Brilliant

[muscleco]

I wonder what Mrs Peel would think of it?

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

The Marketts were the band that ecorded the surf instrumental classic "Out of Limits".

They also recorded a version of the "Batman" theme song for Warner Bros. Records.

Most of their albums are now avaliable on CD from Sundazed Records.

[sheplaysajag]

The Marketts were a bunch of studio musicians who recorded the music and later a band was formed to tour-not unlike the Monkees. Depending on who showed up for the date it was probably Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Hal Blaine or Earl Palmer on drums, Carol Kaye or Joe Osborn on bass and a bunch of other regulars. The amount of stuff they recorded and never got credit for is mind-boggling (most offensive example: Pet Sounds) Type "wrecking crew" into the search bar to see what I mean.

[Pauluk33]

Ywah i like it, though it was one of the original 60's theme's when i first heard it, glad you like

[catfan]

Very interesting rendition!

[877dqsjq33]
