"The Price is Right" Season 36 with 1994 Theme

[newstarcadefan]

Wowsers...that strangely actually fits with the current version of the show.

[CommanderThunderush]

I hate CBS and all forms of entertainment for cutting the credits. Cartoon Network doesn't even give you a QUARTER OF A SECOND to view twenty names!

[telewatcher89]

Doesn't fit well on the Daytime verson, but would fit PERFECTLY on the Million Dollar Spectaculars.

[abc21abc2123second]

Hey! They used Bob's logo on the ending!

[DrFubarProzak]

I was never a big fan of the 1994 Syndication version of the theme. I don't like the current theme either. Bring back the original version of the TPIR theme.

[FaytLinegod]

I absolutely LOVE this version. The original theme will always be an iconic piece unto itself, but the saxophone here makes it a classic unto itself.

[DLCOrganization]

For the record, Kyle, the updated version of the TPIR theme song is a REMAKE -- NOT A REMIX!

However, it must be given due credit that it was apparently the intention of whoever was particularly involved from either the behalf of the musical director or (a group of people with at least a GRAIN of integrity from) FremantleMedia that the theme song should not deviate from the original.

They knew what was up, because if the theme changed TOO MUCH or AT ALL, TPIR would be... OVER!

[Nevetsboy2]

Obviously FAKE!!!!!

[Cyrus992]

TPIR should not use the 1994 song theme but a new song theme. Something similar to Deal or No Deal, 1 vs. 100, or anything that looks high tech. that theme reminded me of love connection and supermarket sweep.

[vdjdtx]

I like this theme.....

[ThePointdexter23]

an almost perfect bidding. wow don't see that alot.

[ghostchild88]

I love it, I love it, I love it...

I just like to hear happy music...watch happy people...

And to the critics...rather than sit and complain...if you think you can come up with a better version...by all means compose it...

[DLCOrganization]

Ghost Child,

Have you ever taken the time to REALLY gather the magnitude of how the original arrangement was, bassline, instrumentation and all?

The original TPIR theme is probably regarded by many as the greatest game show theme in the WORLD ever to be composed. It gives more people joy than even the winning contestants. It gives so many people fond memories of what TV and what life in general used to be like. Today's generation of TV AND music has drawn MAJOR BLANKS for people.

[willmaster93]

@DLCOrganization thank you!! the original theme is a work of art on it's own, most people can recognize that iconic tune than they can name actual game show hosts. This little mix doesnt even remotely compare

[MiltownPunkette21]

Oh, come on. This theme is EXCELLENT. And I'm not saying that just because I'm a fan of smooth jazz, also. I don't get anyone who doesn't like it. They must have some type of mental defect.

[cheesegod1337]

This version of the song makes me think of Kenny G playing Plinko

[Kenny112478]

I do like this version of the theme song; however, I don't think they should use it on the daytime version. On the other hand, I do wish that they would use it on the nighttime specials. After all, almost all of the prize cues from the '94 syndie version made it on the CBS version of TPiR; why not use this theme somewhere?

[hipmommy2005]

I have to say I like the 1994 version better than the classic version of the theme song! I think they should replace the classic version with the newer one!

[mratfauver]

@hipmommy2005 I agree. The '94 version IS WAY BETTER than the classic version!

[jirehmartin]

I don't like this one. The new one is better.

[FRANK172]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[everyone06]

This theme tune was used in the UK version aired from 1995-2001. Hosted by Bruce Forsyth.

[guyvf]

I think they really should have cancelled TPIR when bob left.

[chrisbox51]

I agree. For many years I have told my friends IMO TPIR should go off of CBS when Bob retires because this version is TOO associated with Bob to successfully continue. Apparently, the show has lost almost 20% of its audience since Bob left and Drew has been inconsistant as MC. Also, if it had left CBS, TPIR should have been given at least a year or two off to retool before reattempting in syndication. This way the new MC would not have to compete with Bob's legacy.

[gospurs25]

It actually fits! This song, in my opinion, is better than the remixed bongo version used currently. But nothing compares to the 1972-2007 theme with Bob Barker.

[palmercomm]

Well, this theme keeps the basic melody (just more of a nightclub focus). It was composed by the same guy who wrote the original theme (Edd Kalehoff).

[darthchaosofrspw]

Kalehoff didn't write the original theme. I believe Robert Israel's wife Sheila Cole wrote it.

[TServo2049]

Edd Kalehoff told me over the phone that he wrote the TPIR theme in 1972, but that Robert Israel registered it under Sheila Cole's name. (He also told me that it was Mark Goodson who made the decision to give Kalehoff credit for the music "for Score Productions.")

Don't quote me on this, though; he may just have an axe to grind with Bob Israel.

[devares2006]

I agree. They should've went with this music.

[ShaDeed329]

I really thought since Drew Carey took over, they'll use this theme. In my opinion, it fits well.

[vjmlhds]

A lot of early-mid 90s music was made to sound like it was played in a nightclub.

Lots of emphasis of the saxophone, especially.

Doesn't fit with the daytime show, but during the primetime "Million Dollar Spectacular", maybe.

As far as Adam Sandler goes, that goes back to Happy Gilmore.

Bob Barker had Sandler's name put in the credits as a "gift" to Adam because Sandler is a huge Barker fan, and they became friends while filming the movie.

[gavinnistler123]

is it just ne or i just saw adam sandler on there

[smashwhammy]

That's a different Adam Sandler

[markthewhalekiller]

My band's totally gonna do a cover of the PIR theme now!

[WadeSimMiser]

Thank you. Now that's song will be stuck in my head when I see the current version of the show.

[QBCNetwork]

Giw dare you cover up the Curly siren!

[glamslamcam]

Nothing beats the original theme to Price is Right. NOTHING. The new theme sucks, and the 94 theme isn't that much better. The original theme is The Price is Right. Period.

[Infinitesimalism]

Bob Barker is your god.. think about it..

[animfan1]

Victor won both showcases with just $7 to spare.

[polybi5]

Actually, think about it...they had to remix the theme for stereo and HD. I've always thought the '94 theme should be used when a new host was chosen, and it sounds great over the credits (BTW: the 94 theme was used with Bruce Forsythe's version in the UK).

Oh and by the way, did you notice the name of the person who was "editorial consultant." Would that be THE Adam Sandler??

[mateo096]

No. Its a different person, just with the same name.

[Powerjohn110]

i thik all his girlfriends is hot!!!

[Abdubaction94]

Where did you get the theme?

[Mrsuga]

great I loved the 94 theme

[Crunchieman]

you bastards actaully used to WATCH this show?

[mateo096]

Yes. As a matter of fact, I STILL watch this show. So, bite me.

[Pyrotech56]

I just love hearing Drew halfheartedly mumble off the prizes that people bid on. "You bid on a car, and some other stuff." Oh, and the watered down TPiR theme they are using sucks, they should go back to the original. TPiR is almost unwatchable now, and that's saying a lot from someone who's watched it for 30 years.

[smashwhammy]

At least it is just a REMIX of the same old TPIR theme

ALSO, I just think of it as one of the ways Drew is trying to make a name for himself on TPIR

[aa2507]

To mee personally, I love the jazzier theme of TPiR 1994 for TPiR 2007. Drew is the perfect fit fot that theme. But as for John Lewis Parker aka John Lewis Porker who ruining FF's Theme. F**K U!

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

You're right, he should've kept some of the protion of the theme from Robert Isreal. It sounds it better!

[urbanpreppie05]

I'm going to have to disagree...I think the 94 theme sounded good in 1994, but now it sounds a bit too smooth jazzy for 2008.

Great effort though!

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Why do you have to disagree? The 1994 jazz theme and speed-up version of 'PRICE IS RIGHT' & 'FAMILY FEUD', sound cooler and more fun, than the originals. Plus... when they remixed the FAMILY FEUD theme, by Score Productions... the speed-up theme sounded good and just like the FEUD! BTW- John Lewis Parker, f**ked up the theme. Same thing with DOUBLE DARE. When DD2k was on... the obstacle course theme, wasn't like the one, Edd K. did!!

[urbanpreppie05]

Wait...so because I don't agree that it sounds good in 2008 I'm wrong? Since when is having an opinion wrong?

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

B/c the jazzy theme of this and the speed-up version of jazzy FAMILY FEUD was better. BTW, don't give my a bad score. either I get a "+", or I'm sedning you a bad response!

[urbanpreppie05]

That's your opinion. I think those themes sounded fine in 1994, but sound dated in 2008. But that's MY opinion. You have your opinion, I have mine.

And if you want to send me a response, well, I think that's being a bit juvenile.

Again, my opinion.

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Juvenile, my ass. Just shut the hell up and like i said, the remixed theme of TPIR & FAMILY FEUD, sounds better and I can jam to. BTW- I'm going to be 30 in 3 1/2 years, loser!

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Okay, whom ever gave my -2, on my comments here... shut the hell up, okay? I want to hear the jazz theme of TPIR & Family Feud, again. Give me some "+", damn it!

[chrisbox51]

Thank you for bringing to life what I had only imagined in my head since I first saw Doug Davidson's TPIR the mid-1990's. Now, I do love TPIR's original theme & music cues from the '70s. But I love Edd Kalehoff's 1994 jazzy hip-hop-styled remake so much better. I always felt Bob & the producers should have replaced the theme, "come-on-down", & "first four contestants" music with all of Edd's 1994 respective versions at the time. IMO, they definitely fit in with any emcee & the new set.

[chrisbox51]

BTW: I also think the producers should have used Edd's 1994 jazzy hip-hop-styled remake of the Family Feud theme and music cues on the Richard Karn and John O'Hurley's versions of the Feud. John Lewis Parker's music has never done it for me.

EDD KALEHOFF'S MUSIC ROCKS!!!

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Damn straight! Edd did a good job, with the 1994 jazz hip-hop theme of FAMILY FEUD. Would've been cool, if that was on today's version of FEUD? The theme, opening theme and music cues, as well? Plus... how can I mak ethe slow version of the 1994 feud, sound like the one they did, on the show? Speed-up version.

[DaLethal12]

cmon people!  Drew is doin a great job or at least he is trying. He is doing his own thing

[mlewi18]

Where can you download this song from? I agree with the dude below me!

[7789902]

Interesting fact: When you win, you are brought to the administration office and asked if you actually want to claim the prize! Many contestants actually decline because the show will not pay for the TAXES! A Canadian couple explained they had to decline the prize on a $20k vacation prize because they couldn't afford to pay the tax. Hmmmm....pretty fucking sneaky.

[Fralohalo]

cause they try to make you spend YOUR money

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

What the hell, happen to MARK GOODSON PRODUCTIONS?  The company still owns TPIR, MATCH GAME & FAMILY FEUD.

[urbanpreppie05]

No. They. Don't.

They liquidated MGP in 1995. His name was kept on these shows for tradition's sake. And sadly, over time they've gotten rid of this tradition.

[BMANBLAKNBLU]

Let me get this straight... The Original Price Is Right theme, is remixed with the 1994 Price Is Right theme, on the Drew Carey version today and is he still hosting it today? I heard he was fired.

[matt99nascar]

when did you hear drew was fired? I thought he was a little while ago and was not sure is this true? reply soon. thanks.

[cbaker21]

Great theme! I like it!

[jimousine85]

I need to apologize for the double-post of sorts. I wasn't sure if my first comment went through, so I posted another one along the same lines. Again, sorry about that.

[jimousine85]

How did you get the old-school style chyron credits in there? These days, they just cut to the Fremantle logo after a minute or two and then show the credits interspersed with ads for one of CBS' crappy shows.

Sorry for the rant, but either way, VERY NICE! 5 stars!

[jimousine85]

Wait...are they using a credit crawl again, or did you add that yourself??? I haven't seen use a credit crawl in ages, which is why I ask (and I've been watching Drew's version almost everyday). Either way, VERY NICE!!! I don't think the '94 theme fits the Carey era, but it's still a cool theme nonetheless. I like the remix they have now & I personally think it fits better; just my opinion.

[sshuffield70]

The full credit crawls are from the Canadian broadcasts. They don't cut in like CBS does.

[VitaminC5383]

I think they should use that theme music for season 37 and I think Drew needs to get rid of that wireless mic and keep up with the times. I wonder if that was used for Marso Antonio Regil's version of "Antinale al Precio"

[hot96rox232]

wow that winner is sexy-lookin

[jettzanova]

You follow This is rich fileds

[gameshowguy2000]

Some are getting used to the new theme song, including me. Sounds OK, as does this.

[coolwafferman]

With a better host also they should bring this theme back even though I like the older version.

[msnbc87]

quite jazzy but I prefer the classic music

[UNCJerry77]

Good work Kyle!

[mvp2307]

i love the tnpir 94 music
