Wild, Wild World of Animals - orig. end theme

fantastic music by Beatrice Witkin & Gerhard Trede, later replaced with different music. The opening theme was also replaced later IIRC.
Wild, Wild World of Animals was a wildlife documentary series that originally aired in the 1970's. See my videos for the original intro to the show.

OK, so please post the other theme that replaced this, I think that's the one that's been bugging me for 30+ years! I think it had a more African rhythm to it.

@snailhairdune you're probably thinking of the intro (I posted it)...the replacement to this theme was kind of generic sounding, definitely not more of an African rhythm than the themes I posted.

Thanks for posting this. I wonder if you heard of "The World of Survival" with John Forsythe which came on TV about the same time frame? I've not been able to find the oringinal theme song for that show.

sorry I don't remember "...Survival" though I probably saw it back in the day.

I definitely remember the other you requested Lorne Green's Wilderness (several years later iirc) but don't have that theme either.

Thank you!

My brother and I watched this show every week together as kids. He died this November after a boating accident. How nice it is to relive this time.

[love2register]

you're very welcome. Take care

ROFL. I can't believe I found this again! My younger brother and I used to watch the William Conrad-narrated show at 7:30 weeknights on PBS in Los Angeles. We used to do these cat-prowling dances to this song. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing, but this song totally rocked rhythm and beat wise. Thanks for posting.

Brings back memories of me and the whole family watching this every thursday night at 7:30 with a bowl of Jiffy Pop.

One of the few shows the whole family could agree on.

I miss those good old days.

@cheese611000 Yes it is Untamed World I was remembering, I found it a while ago, but thanks. It's strangely electronic, more so than I remember as a kid.

[cheese611000]

@snailhairdune The theme I think you're looking for is to Untamed World. Look up "Untamed World outro 1970s" in youtube search. It's not the intro but is the same song.

This soundtrack takes us back to a great time, when computers, cell phones or IPads did no exist and you used your imagination on a constant basis. Shows such as this one and Wild Kingdom thaught my generation to protect our environment.

Totally dig this music. Oddly enough, Spock and a space hippie chick did a jam with similar sound on an episode of Star Trek ("Return to Eden" I think it was called). Anyway, thanks for posting!

this is the coolest theme!! as a kid in the 70's I remember grooving to this after the show..I want to download the entire score. It sounds like a 007 / mod theme. You tube is amazing..you can find anything on here! Thanks for posting this!

I love the creepy music. One of those metal bands ought to redo it. \m/

...this reminds me of my dad. He made us sit down and watch this show. It was sort of an at home educational piece, before the internet, cable etc. It was fun. I miss "Pops". This music reminds me of him.
