Do you have the theme of "Go!", a series that ran VERY shortly (1983-1984)?

[secondchance1977]

Yes! I have it on a master reel from NBC

The next time Sony Pictures Television revives "The Gong Show", they need to use this theme song!

My favorite part of The gong Show was Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, Chuck would go absolutely NUTS when Milton and the band would strike up the first few notes of gene's music, and Chuck would go berzerk and start dancing like Gene when he'd come out onstage and start dancing, and the people backstage would through things at Gene, that was SO FUNNY!!!!!! I loved that part of the show. :)

there were actually TWO themes for the Gong show, this being one of them. They are both similar, but not exactly the same.

[MrSonicboom07]

Where the theme from 1989?

[bluebear1985]

From Hollywood, almost live, it's The Gong Show!

This song perfectly fits Chuck's hosting style! lol

@hotsoup1442 The Gong Show is an example of television evolution. From the bouncing ball of Sing Along With Mitch to the aggressive bong of The Gong Show. No wonder America became a superpower. I'm the Pied Piper. Follow me, pie pips, to Sing Along With Mitch Miller.

[ShaDeed329]

That it did

@hotsoup1442 learn it by ear is the best thing :)

I think the syndicated run used this theme, too. There was a closing I believe here on YouTube taped off of then Indy station WFLD out of Chicago which used this theme.

During it's most recent run on GSN, it got unfavorable ratings--according to them, at least. It probably didn't help that what followed it was a terrible remake. On GSN's Buzz boards, they are saying that with all the clearances they would need to get, The Gong Show would be too costly to rerun, at least for now. Which is a shame.
