Here is a commonly used car cue that was used from 1973 to 2008 on The Price is Right. I often associate this theme with the Dennis James version, because this car cue was ALWAYS played.

Why don't they play this car cue anymore? Maybe I'm out of the blue because I can't really watch it regularly, lol...

Apparently, Stan Blitz said that so many of the old cues were retired because they weren't in stereo, only mono, which is a really dumb reason IMO. They can always remaster it! But I guess not :(. But yeah, the last time this cue was used was in Season 36 (Drew's first season).

Bob Barker: "Whadda we have for him, Johnny?"

Johnny Olson: "A NEW CAR! The 1978 Chrysler LeBaron..."

I hear this and I think of the late Rod Roddy saying,"A NEW CAR!!!"

@bambam2124 I always think of Card Game in the mid-80s

The old car cues ARE classics, and need to be brought back in a BIG WAY, they are priceless and cannot be retired whatsoever, Stan Blkitz is a knucklehead for retiring the old car cues, they can remaster the old car cues in stereo.

@GSNSmashFan3 Why would anyone care if they were in mono - it appears most of them were since the L-R mix is identical. So what - they are great songs and were played mono for 35 years, 99% of the audience wouldnt notice and doesnt care. Most people havent heard all of them thru for the great songs they are.

I have wasted many enjoyable hours loving all the great memorable funk / jazz / pop tunes that Edd Kalehoff created for TPIR. You can download them at gameshowthemesongs dot n e t, followed by a slash then tpir_library.htm - GREAT STUFF.

@bambam2124 Yes thats correct. Actually since both were Goodson Todman shows, they simply used a song they already had he rights to. You'll notice a lot of sharing between CBS / G-T shows. For example, Alex Trebek's Double Dare 1976 used the same theme song as Card Sharks. The CBS shows used a lot of the same sounds effects - i.e. the bell on Match Game, TPIR, Double Dare, etc.

I loved this theme. The best when it was used was from the 70's playing "Lucky 7 on this board right here" and the music would still be playing and the big doors were opening. Great stuff!

Every time I heard this cue: I'd wait for Bob to say: "Here Come My Beuties With The Dice For The DICE GAME"

@bambam2124

That's correct! There's plenty of episodes on YouTube that prove this true.
