Title: Original Wheel Of Fortune Commercial cue
Post by: Skynet74 on January 03, 2005, 03:36:18 AM

There is absolutely No doubt in my mind that the original Wheel Of Fortune commercial cue "Woolery era" was based on the song "Temptation Eyes" by the Grass Roots. I've removed the vocals and uploaded a portion of the song here. This is it baby! Your secret is out Alan. Original My Ass! ;-) Great song though. No matter if it's the Grass Roots version or Thicke's remarkably similar WOF version.

Here it is.

I have on the song on their greatest hits CD. It does sound pretty close to that commercial cue though.

There was another WOF cue that I remember that was also used as the theme to Cher's solo variety show on CBS in 1975.

Also, it may not've been necessarily Thicke, since "Wheel" used stuff written by Stan Worth and even some stock cues.

BTW, originally, the cue to the commercial was the theme, starting with right after the intro.
