That intro is fucking nice. With a few touch-ups, it could hold up today.

If you'd like to hear the entire theme, it's on a site called networknewsmusic-dot-com.

I always thought this theme was GREAT! It got you all excited about the campaign(s).

I hope someone can please upload the full version of Mancini's march. And I hope NBC restores the use of it in its coverage of presidential elections. This movement elevates the mood of any political contest. That's something we all need.

True fact: The reason NBC News stopped using the Mancini theme after '92 is that when it came time to start planning for the '96 coverage, the news division's then-head of special projects discovered he'd misplaced his copy of the CD. So even though there were hundreds of other copies of it located all over the country, he decided, "Ah, screw it, it's been 20 years anyway, let's just order a new one."

@raymieX Yes, the NBC Special animation arrived along with the current logo in 1986. They still occasionally use it for the Christmas Mass coverage from Vatican City.

Ross Perot = ultimate spoiler

This theme did not proceed into 1996...but it does seem to be a long-running theme.

Also, is it me or is the "NBC Special" animation much more 1986 than 1992? (It probably is, come to think of it.)

I thought Letterman left NBC before Leno even started. Oh well, at least NBC never made another mistake with who hosts the tonight show after the debacle of who would replace Johnny Carson :sarcasm:
