Days of Our Lives closing credits 1989

[mycountryboyswag]

I love the mention of Another World & Santa Barbara.

[Cyclops236]

Two of the shows mentioned in this voiceover now come on Hallmark Channel

[notfragile33]

I used to think the piano and vibraphone solo toward the end was so pleasant sounding, I would start my afternoon nap as a little kid to it

[hithr3000]

@notfragile33 aww, that's cute :o)

[AaronBruceLadner]

Like Sands through the Hourglass, So are the Days of our Lives.

[Grogie4dagurlz]

wow look at the cast...so many people on the show back then

[Cyclops236]

This video is looking better than it did in the past.

[boofdfast]

Aww, I miss the old Days... like the '85-87 seasons. When they had Neil Curtis and his wife(Gloria Loring), Shane and Kimberly, Emma Donovan, Miss Peach, Theo Carver, Patch and Kayla, Kris Kosichek, Savannah Wilder, Roman Brady(Wayne Northrup), John Black(Drake), Marlena, and my fave bad guy, Alex Marshall. Now, Days SUCKS ass. They don't appreciate their veteran actors.

[AWfan1999]

That's the wonderful Bill Wolff doing the voice on this video. AW was not the same without him.

[jstrewth]

Anybody notice some recognizable names in the cast? Charles Shaughnessy was one, and Butch Hartman (yes, the same hack who later created The Fairly OddParents) is another.

[Cyclops236]

@jstrewth I know Charles Shaughnessy he played Mr. Sheffield on The Nanny.

[jstrewth]

@Cyclops236 Yes, but I remember him more as the voice of Dennis on Stanley. ;)

[Cyclops236]

@jstrewth Cartoon is it or no?

[jstrewth]

@Cyclops236 Yep.

[Cyclops236]

Where's the Soapnet Commentary.

[LaurenLover81]

It is Bill Wolfe "DaysAWFAN". Bill wasn't just exclusive to ANOTHER WORLD, he did other announce work for NBC, like the "WNBC 4 pre-sign off" here on youtube. It wouldn't make sense to use a Bill Wolfe sound-alike if you're going into ANOTHER WORLD. Even though Bill Wolfe was off AW at this point, my guess is that NBC kept him on staff as an NBC Daytime Announcer.

[Cyclops236]

@LaurenLover81 That's exactly what CBS should've done for Dan Region either had him commentate for a different show or had him work for CBS all together., Instead they fired him.

[Cyclops236]

Can I use this hourglass as a punching bag a fake one that is if it were real I'd be in trouble.

[DaysAWFAN]

That isnt Bill Wolfe, thats an NBC announcer. He does sound similar though.

[MrAaronLadner]

Love the Hourglass!!

[Cyclops236]

@MrAaronLadner So do I but you can also get the german version on youtube as well., On the search bar type down Zeit der Sehnsucht you'll see why I like both versions.

[geemoli]

the fuckin voice over ruins the song.

[DaysAWFAN]

@geemoli I miss the days when AW and SB were on and they would give you a preview at the end of Days for what was going on for the day! Thats the best part about this clip!

[VaultMasterDBT]

Don't you ever say that Bill Wolff ruins anything! :) Most network-run closing credit sequences have voiceovers anyway, what can anyone do?

[yapic2]

AHHH! Santa Barbara! I loved that show!

[panamaniak]

this was the best theme of all soaps!

[Cyclops236]

I want that hourglass so bad it's not funny anymore.

[pizzaguy2002]

What a beautiful theme this show has. It brings back memories of younger more care-free times,Thanks!!!

[babygiraffe123]

Hearing this now, reminds me SO MUCH, of my mother. RIP Mom. In our hearts forever.

[Cyclops236]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom The only time I heard it was when my mom didn't have cable but when she did I always watched something different but now I'm hooked on Days plus the ABC Soaps.

[anokigryphon]

I'm sorry to hear about your mother :(

[babygiraffe123]

Thanks.

[DarkWolfen]

Santa Barbara? Wow this is old!

[LifeIsNotorious]

Love the opening and closing

[babygiraffe123]

OMFG!! It's all coming back to me! I remember this, along with that goddamned Columbia Pictures Television ident!! The one thing that frightened me more than anything as a child!!

[cats882002]

My Mom My Aunt My Grandmother My Great GrandMother And Me Would All Watch This This And AW Was My Nap time. The show Is really stuped Now But love the old school Story Line

[rockhopper10r]

How many other TV themes have an oboe solo?

[Wheeloffortunelover]

Next on Another World, then on Santa Barbara

[east215]

I love the end credits. Especially this version with the piano and flute. Although, at this time, any real end credit would be good. Days was the last soap to go to squeeze credits in 2003.

[ginchyamanda]

Man, I miss the closing credits! I used to watch with my Granny, waiting for "Another World" to start. Those were the days. Thanks for the vid!

[GuardianofAges2007]

This brings back memories of watching this with my mother and my sister when I was I kid. Everything back then just seemed so easy, nothing to worry about. This song is peaceful! Thanks for posting this!!!

[DaysAWFAN]

That isnt Bill Wolfe doing the announcements. Thats is an NBC in house announcer.

[mbsjrcc06]

Well, it sure does sound like Bill.

[bullseye0958]

I miss this theme ... heck, I miss these

"days." I wish they could bring back the magic of the writing staffs of the 1980s and early 90s before James E. Reilly went all wacko. But this theme is a great reminder: chamber orchestra, with a nice undercurrent of strings, classical guitar, piano, and lovely oboe and violin solos. The full closing theme is amazing to listen to.

[mbsjrcc06]

This closing has a voiceover from former "Another World" announcer Bill Wolfe doing promos for other NBC shows.

[jhzenor61481]

i used to watch this with my mom when i was a kid, i remember the hourglass just sitting there while the sand poured down. brings back a lot of memories.

[DANZBOI]

will they ever bring at the end credits, frustrates me when i wanna who plays a character......Bring them back I say

[Bluebirdsims]

I use to complain about the voice-overs during the years we use to see end credits, but now I'll take the voice-overs anyday over than having no ending theme credits like they have them today

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

I AGREE, I MISS THE CLOSING OF THIS!

[SJkeepinitoldskool87]

it would just be nice if they had no voice over and no advertising crap at the end like they do now.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

I so like the cast credit, like this... From who has been on their the longest to the newest. It is that way now on Soap Net after the show...

[nilalallu]

would u have the full version where the credits start with the "zoomed in" camera of the hourglass? thanx

[DaysFan65]

Fabulous!
