  • This joint is just so hip-hop! Peace.

  • I wish my High School Band rocked this!

  • @TheOsk1e You guys would be... the most BADASS High School Band EVAH!! \m/

  • Anyone look closely in the far upper left corner of the Dick Clark photo of him and the pyramid? There appears to be letters H I S faintly visible above the stage lights.

  • @dlambo1 It's a photo from Corbis, thus the watermark on the upper left-hand corner. Peace.

  • I have to find out where to get this ring tone for my new iPhone anyone know?

  • That's the most 70s sounding theme song. I love it!

    

  • Dick Clark has always been the king of the Pyramid and always will be.  NO ONE will ever do the show like Dick did!

  • @matchgame79 One of the best game shows ever and certainly one of the best game show hosts ever!

  • @EKB316 And the crazy thing is that he wasn't in all that many game shows...He wasn't a career game show host, like Bob Barker and most of the other greats

  • @professor0526 That's true. If I remember right, he host almost every incarnation of the Pyramid and The Challengers.

  • @EKB316 I think you're right about that. It's just too bad he wasn't the host for the 2002 "Pyramid" version. Donny Osmond, as hard as he tried, didn't quite cut it.

  • @professor0526 Dude, I'm scared now than I was before Donny Osmond was named host. I heard that ANDY RICHTER was supposed to be the host for the newest incarnation of "Pyramid"

  • @EKB316 Of all people....unbelievable. I mean even (gasp) Drew Carey would be a better fit for that show than Andy

  • @professor0526 Now you see why that scares me. And BTW, Drew Carey is doing a good job on The Price is Right. Sure he's no Bob Barker, but he's doing fine.

  • @EKB316 I agree...it took me a while to get used to Drew hosting The Price is Right, but now i'm comfortable, and i think he's comfortable too. And I think that's what it took for him: To get comfortable in the role, and make the show his own, as Bob said he should do.

  • @professor0526 That was the key thing. He gets comfortable, we get comfortable with him, he makes the show his own, and boom! The Price is Right still has life.

  • You are to describe for your partner things that cover other things, things that cover other things, READY....GO!!!!

    For $10/$25/$100 Thousand dollars, HERE IS YOUR FIRST SUBJECT....GO!!!!!!

  • them horns are funky!!!!!!!!

  • If you're here because of the giant bomb quick look...let me know im not the only one

  • @Heartagram1028 yep....

  • which site can I get this version ?

  • Love this damn song best theme show music for a game show period I also have this song on my iphone and ringtone and real nice to wake up to!!

  • I'm with y'all. I totally play this before I go to work or the club! It's the NUTS. One year at Mardi Gras we just kept playing it over and over and everyone was DANCING! We had a blast baby. XO

  • @WILLIAMCHANEL LOL! Dude, that's bad...ASS!!! :-D

  • @WILLIAMCHANEL I would LOVE to have seen that!

  • THIS is the one I love, I just listened to the other one, and I was like, fuck this shit where's the version I like!?

  • "Peter, what if i said, you wear me in the bathroom, i keep your head dry?"

    Peter: "SHOWER CAP."

    OH MAN! lol gotta love family guy

  • Definitely one of the all-time great game show themes! Nice audio quality, I never noticed the nice Rhodes/organ backing harmony on my tv speakers.

  • @sorghumking Yeah, I know, right? The Rhodes piano/organ harmonies were really pronounce around 0:56, don't you think?

  • Maybe I'm picky, but this isn't a remake - it's more like a variation on the "Tuning Up" theme and rhythm. It's good, but I like the original just a bit better. Thanks for posting!

  • I wish that Charlie O' Donnel was the announcer on the Price is Right, then the a guess show annoucer, because their isn't any flow to the excitement of annoucing prizes, period.

  • "From Television City in Hollywood, this is the New $25,000.00 Pyramid!

    Today's special guests, from Mama's Family, Vicki Lawrence! and, LeVar Bertin!

    Your host is, DICK CLARK!"

  • From Television City in Hollywood, this is the $100,000 Pyramid, Today are special guest are, Teresa Ganzel and Soupy Sales, and now here is your host, Dick Clark.

  • From Television City in Hollywood, this is the $100,000 Pyramid, Today are special guest, Teresa Ganzel and Soupy Sales, and now here is your host, Dick Clark.

  • For $100,000, here is your first subject.

    Ready... go!

  • the hottest tv game show theme ever! im lovin' this, takes me back in the day. the horns make this song, but the bassline, beat, and rhodes are so sweet!

  • Describe these things associated with Sarah Palin. Things associated with Sarah Palin. Ready? Go!

  • I need this song!! how do i get it??

  • @ professor0526 Davidson was awesome!! dnt dis Davidson i grew up watching him on the squares and Osmond was ok, but Dick Clark will ALWAYS be the mastermind of Pyramid

  • @now316 I actually agree with you...i never really got to see the 80s version of Hollywood Squares, and out of the clips i've seen here, he's pretty good on there, so much so i wish GSN would broadcast those episodes of "Squares". But i agree, he wasn't quite at ease on "Pyramid" and it showed. As for Osmond, he was probably the best host the producers could find and he did a good job with the format and set he was given. That said, i still hate that dark set...lol

  • @professor0526

    I Actually like the dark pyramid set.

  • @jmjfanss Not me....the set they had for "Donnymid" was just way way too dark for me...i like lots of lights....the other thing that turned me off was when they used those darned monitors instead of trillions....i missed hearing them turn like in the original series...but i guess i'm rather old-school compared to some ;)

  • @professor0526 I've never heard it called "Donnymid," but you're right. One more thing I didn't like about that show was that there was no "$100,000" sign at the top of the Pyramid. And that theme song... I was ready to vomit!

  • @PatrioticPirate I was ready to vomit myself when i heard that song....maybe even if they couldn't get the original, they could have got something better than what they had...and if i hadn't seen the other shows in the series when i was little, i wouldn't have figured out what the show was about...they could have easily called it "The New $100,000 Pyramid" or something. But as i've said earlier, Donny Osmond was certainly a good host given his lack of previous game show-hosting experience

  • @professor0526 I'll go with you on the hosting of the show. Donny would be a good host, but between the music, and the missing elements from The Pyramid itself, this was spoiled in the freezer.

  • I used to love this theme as a kid. I remember as kid making prank calls on my neighbor's phone and she would say No time for playing games, This not no Game Show!...LOL!

  • I'm gonna find the ringtone as well as the song!! i grew watching the show it was awesome!!

  • AWESOME!! I'm Suscribing!!

  • I can't get enough of this theme, I bump this song on my stereo at the crib!

  • @mixon270 LOL! Me too, man...

  • I can't believe Andy Richter is going to host the Pyramid revival.

  • That's where DR. DRE got his "$20 sack pyramid" skit off his "The Chronic" album !

  • At 0:22 it's Dr. Dre's sample called "The $20 sack pyramid" off his Chronic album, 1992.

  • The greatest game show theme song in my life!!!! Makes people want to win!!!

  • @DetroitLove4U I love how the theme has this '70s R&B-ish vibe to it once the bass and Rhodes Piano kick in toward the end of the song... Ol' skool, right? :-)

  • @gameshowluvr86 It's truly funny that I'm nearly 32 years of age and as a small child I caught this game show back in the mid to late 80's! Honestly, your reply is very synonymous with my take on it all this time. I had downloaded this exact extended version and had rolled around town in my SUV blasting this beat on my Kenwood stereo with down fire12's even with a friend and we were having a blast!!! I miss the days I guess I missed because I was too young or just not quite born yet!!

  • best beat for a game show

  • I'm looking at this pic... it seems wierd to me... am I not seeing this correctly...?

  • @PatrioticPirate The guy who took the picture must have wanted a side shot of the Pyramid... :-)

  • I've heard a rumor that Cbs is considering reviving Pyramid to replace As the World Turns when the latter gets cancelled in September of 2010. If that's true, they'd better not fuck it up like what happened with Osman's version! Keep it 1980's style! Show appreciation for the man who made Pyramid what it is, that man being the one and only Dick Clark! Same theme song, same sounds, same logo, same gameplay, same everything! Looks like Daytime Game Shows could be making a comeback!

  • Right?! Preach on, bro! If it's not broken, don't fix it! :-)

  • I hope you're right... hopefully they find someone who a: knows how to host a game show and b: knows how to host a game show. Donnymid still leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. (I wonder if CBS still has my application to host????)

  • Listening to this makes me feel like The Brady Bunch! LOL!

  • LOL! it's true it has sort of has Brady feel to it!

  • I'm also hearing a flute as well. Definitely old school. I love it!

  • Really? When at?

  • From the beginning until 0:21 and every time that section repeats, you can really hear it. The flute was commonly used in this style of music, this one having a good funk feel.

  • Okay, awesome; I can hear it now! :-) Also, don't you think the main refrain of the song kind of gives you the feeling of climbing a real pyramid?

  • That it does. Cobert most likely wrote the song that way to convey that feeling.

  • Can anyone name every instrument used in this theme song? ;-)

  • Bari Sax, Baritone horn, Trumpet, alto sax, an organ synthesizer, a regular keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, tambourine, and an xylophone

  • There's a Rhodes piano that comes in at the end, when they all start groovin'.

  • A Rhodes piano... Now, THAT'S what I call old school!! :-)

  • Am I the only one who feels like dancing to this theme song whenever I hear it?

  • My mom came in and started doing the Macarena to this!! LOL!!

  • Now THAT'S a moment i would pay to see...no disrespect intended...someone dancing the Macarena to this...LOL,!

  • @professor0526

    How much would ya pay?

  • Well if it's as funny as i imagine it to be, maybe at least something a little north of $100

  • You're on.

  • I gotta admit i rock a little then when you second verse hits i find myself playing the keyboard part lol

  • @DorvellTStewart no you are not the only one every time i hear this theme i tend to get up and dance to it

  • This theme song is amazing.

  • Before that asswipe Donny Osmond took over, this was one of my favorite game shows.

  • From Television City in Hollywood. This is the $100,000 pyramid tournament week. Today's special guest is Shelly Smith and from hotel, Nathen Cook.

  • From Television City in Hollywood, this is the $100,000 pyramid!!! today's special guests are Audrey Landers, and from Hotel, Nathan Cook!! Your Host is Dick Clark!!!!!!!!

  • Let's mix it up a little...

    (Two winning flashback clips are shown...)

    Johnny Gilbert: From Television City in Hollywood, this IS The $25,000 Pyramid!! (Theme music begins...) Today's special guests are... from Out of This World, Donna Pescow, and from Not Necessarily The News, Stuart Pankin! And now, here is your host... Mr. Dick Clark!!!

    (Wild cheers and applause from audience...)

  • okay, i'll mix another one for u.

    (2 flashback clips)

    Charlie O'Donnell: From Television City in Hollywood, this is the $25,000 pyramid! (theme music) Today's special guests are..Ilene Graf, and from Webster, Henry Polic II. Your host is...Dick Clark!!!

  • I love the rarely heard bass funk breakdown at 2:28

  • FINALLY , I get to hear this version of the Pyramid theme song. Thanks for posting it.

  • Cool picture of a cool set!

  • Think I might do a video of me acting like this show's announcer! LOL! If I were to do that, what celebrities should I mension in my clip!

  • that would be pretty sweet. the celebrites i think u should mention are Markie Post and Nathan Cook

  • Will do! I just need to figure out how to get a recording of an audience applauding, and how to dub my voice over the voice of the actual announcer. LOL!

  • I heard that Cbs is thinking of a Pyramid Revival! If that's so and Pyramid does get revived, they better use this theme!

  • I hope so...it was truly a great game, and the bonus game pyramid was truly challengin and often very tough. The new version they called "pyramid" was absolutely pathetic, run a little differently, and SOOOO easy to win...BORING!

  • PYRAMID ruined by Donny Osmond, PLEASE, it SUCKED big time. I tried out of the show, Donny didn't show up... oh,... tear. Please, they RUINED the game, never screw with something that is perfect, for example, Project Runway.. they changed networks for Pete's sake and they didn't change the format at all! Was a success then, will be more of a success now! WRITE TO CBS! Get them tom REVIVE the REAL Pyramid game! With the OLD rules!

  • we all should. plus Wayne brady sucks as a game show host.

  • I say that Donny Osmond is WAY better than John Davidson....he ruined Pyramid big time. As for Donny Osmond's version: the theme music and dark set really turned me off. Call me old fashioned, but this theme song will always have a special place in my childhood memories.

  • they did tape a couple of episodes, but they arent doing it on the day they were supposed to. they might not air them. CBS decided to go with a revival of Let's Make a Deal with Wayne Brady as the host.

  • Well, why can't they do both! Pyramid at 3:00 and Lets Make a Deal at 3:30!

  • because they are making Let's Make a Deal 1 hour long. i know its really stupid, and its replacing Guiding Light, which was an hour long show. but still, i have no idea

    i should write to CBS and complain

  • We all should!

  • I'm game!

  • HAHAHA It gets FUNKY by 2:36 .....HAHA

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I'm only 26 years old but hearing this brings me right back to my childhood. I can't get this song out of my head.

  • I don't mind the 80's version of the original song, but I totally dig the 70's theme better, more funkier and had a great lead guitar solo in it!

  • This version had lots of well known celebs:

    Pyramid Favorites such as Mary Cadorette, Richard Kline, the late Nathan Cook, the late Nipsey Russell, the late David Graf, Singer Audrey Landers, Earl Holliman, Martha Smith, Ed Begley, Jr., Ilene Graf, Henry Polic II , Brian Stokes Mitchell, Charles Siebert, Game Show Legend Betty White, Game Show Queen Vicki Lawrence, Pyramid Sweetheart Teresa Ganzel, Game Show Goddess Markie Post, Pyramid Diva Shelley Smith, and Pyramid Phenom Adrienne Barbeau.

  • Not to mention Patty Duke, Billy Crystal, Brian Mitchell, Terry Lester, Bill Cullen, Dick Clark (yes, he guest starred), Joanne Worley, LeVar Burton, Lynn Redgrave, and Barry Jenner

  • This theme rocks, and especially whenever somebody wins money in the Winner's Circle whether it be $10,000 $25,000 or even $100,000, but this version also had the 7-11 and the Mystery 7 and of course a $5000 Bonus for 21-21 Tiebreaker.

    No one does Pyramid like Dick Clark and Bill Cullen, Donny Osmond's had too many strict judges & John Davidson ruins the Winner's Circle Wins, and the set was designed by Ed Flesh who also did Chain Reaction, GO, Sale of the Century, SCRABBLE & America's Top 10

  • The Intro to the CBS/Syndicated Pyramid always sounded better than $10K/ $20K/ Syndicated $25K/ $50K Pyramid shows cuz they didn't have the "From Television City in Hollywood" in it. It seams to me, watching these as a kid on the USA network, that $25K Pyramid and $100K Pyramid were paired in a 1 hour block.

  • You what's funny: when I was a little kid listening to the theme song to the $25K and $100K Pyramids back in the day, I used to always think this theme song sounded so funny to me. But now, it's one of my top favortie classic GS themes of all-time!!!

  • I agree with you; it is one of my favorites along with the themes for "Press Your Luck," "Card Sharks" (1978-1981 version), "Hit Man," and "High Rollers" (1987-1988 version).

  • Here is the vocal version......

    ~Hahahaha....I got me a model~

    ~Hahahaha....I got me a model~

    ~Hahahaha....I got me a model~

    ~You right....I got me a model~

  • It does sound like Got Me A Model, doesn't it? Sweet...

  • You know who sings it?

  • RL with Erick Sermon.

  • Someone should do a remix of the old theme with a hip hop feel.

  • this is some great music

  • This song is the SHIT! the show was pretty funny, too. I got this song downloaded.

  • Hellz yeah, this song IS the shit! :-D Rock on, Pyramid!

  • The pic of Dick is seen on the cover of January 1987 TV Game $how Magazine, complete with Xmas themed Winner's Circle categories.
