I seem to recall someone having a page with the various cues used on MG '7x. Can anyone point me in this direction? Also, does anyone have a copy of the opening in the actual format used on the show, i.e., not the "fake" version from the Game Show Theme CD from 1998? Thank you in advance.
Soon to celebrate 118 posts :)

Thank goodness I remember the address by heart....

It's under "Quotes".
Last time I was linked there the main theme seemed to be the same as on the Game Show CD from Varese Saraband. It's not a "fake", it's just how the cue was originally supplied by Score to Goodson Todman. The difference: the version used on air had an edit or two made in the Jurassic era of music editing with a razor blade by GT Music Director Mike Malone.

Thank you for your help, Randy. If you don't mind me saying so, you are my favorite TPIR announcer and I hope you get the permanent gig. If you do, I hope you won't stop posting here :)

Ah, the perfect time to bring up my Match Game MP3; it sounds almost exactly like the TV version, except it's cleverly edited (even better than the real version in that regard!) from the GSN CD version, and I lowered the pitch, since the CD version's pitch is too high.

That theme sounded just like the one on that Game Show CD. I remember hearing a slightly lower pitched theme. Strange. Apparently that file came from the CD copy & ripped somehow.
-
To be specific on the "recipe" for creating the MG7x opening music, I believe this is what they did:
Start with the classic "Wank" music cue (actually, the cue was created by 'looping' the wanks at the beginning of the theme heard on the CD), used during the show whan the stars are writing out their answers.
Play looping WANK cue until Johnny Olsen says, "...Match Game!!!" and the sign lights up.
Switch to main theme, starting on the WANK of that main theme.
After the first 'verse', splice out the part of the theme where the the song goes into the 3 long organ notes and go right into the second 'verse' (where the horns are doing the higher notes), again starting from the WANK.
Put spliced theme in the oven for 13 minutes at 350 degrees, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve!
Whoops, I'm thinking of the idea of a guilty Martha Stewart in jail....It's a good thing!!
-
The actual MG '7x show opening consisted of two separate cues: the vamp and the theme. The vamp lasted about a minute. The segue (SEG-way) to the theme was done live on cue to synchronize with Johnny Olson. The VS CD version plays a few bars of the vamp and then goes into the theme.

4 bars of the vamp, if memory serves (and it usually does).

Good job...I'd agree that it's WAY better than the on-air edit used for MG '7X.
And hey, if someone out there can try removing the banjo from the Dawson FF theme, you'll have the mix used as a TPiR prize/car cue from 76-83.

That is right, but the 3rd and 4th bars are cut-off.

I based my rendition of the opening theme (http://\"http://whammypower.kicks-ass.net/MGopen.mp3\") from this Match Game opener (http://\"http://www.tvparty.com/games/matchgame74.ram\") (IMDB link) and that description above

As usual, Casey, you are awesome. :-)

Very cool!
BTW Casey, is there any chance you could try removing the banjo from the Dawson FF theme to create the mix used as a TPiR prize cue? Just a thought...

Bare with the newbie here, just wanted to ask Casey where he got the MG 90 extended remix. I ask because it sounds an awful lot like the one I made and put up at the Game Show Theme Emporium. I have no gripe at all for you sending it (if it is the one I made which I think it is) out to folks, just wanted to check on something. Somewhere I also have a master quality remix. I just gotta do some digging for it, and I altered the instrumentation a little bit for it, if memory serves.
- Jim Williams
(Also of note, if anyone remembers the extended PYL theme that clocks in at 2:55 in total length, I also edited that theme together. It took a good 2.5-3 hours and amazingly I merely used sound recorder.)
-
I made several mp3s of a mix of the 70's and 90's match game. They turned out pretty good. If you post them on my site, will anybody be interested?

If _I_ can post them on _your_ site, you have bigger problems then getting some people to listen to your music. :)

I got the MG 90 theme from a Yahoo Group, don't remember if it was the Game Show Theme Emporium or not. I did, however, make the FF88 theme edit myself.

Anyways, I'll throw it up online tomorrow.

Sorry for bumping this up.
I'm sorry, I wasn't able to remove the banjo (otherwise, I'd remove most of the song!), but I edited the theme so that it is the same cut as the TPiR cue.
