Worst Music?
chris319:
For pilots, they sometimes use any old piece of existing recorded music before going to the expense of composing, orchestrating and recording the real music, in case the pilot is rejected. cf Bullseye.
The late Bob Cobert did a nifty job of redoing "Tuning Up" for the CBS version of Pyramid.

And I'm a little amused at Goodson's recycling when they did commission a full package for a pilot. TKO got reused on Body Talk within the year, and then moved on to lottery shows. They got lucky in a sense when MG90 sold, and all that new music could go to good use. But in the case of Oddball, they gave that think music a second life, first on the MG90 pilot, and then Price is Right (still to this day!). The end of an Oddball loss cue became the big ol' "you lost" horn for the endgame on Classic Concentration.

For Password Plus, Bob Israel proposed that we use the TPIR cue used for "Most Expensive", but it was turned down.

I thought so, too. To me, the original sounded robotic.
I didn't mind the Better Sex scatting or the game. I thought they should bring in a live band to do Cullen's Blockbusters.
I hated the Joker's Wild whistling. The original was one of the best game themes ever. How is whistling appropriate to jokers, slot machines or a game where knowledge is king? Las Vegas Gambit stunk, too.

I feel like this is an enjoyable alternative to the the LVG theme...
