Baywatch 1 theme opening, Peter Cetera - Save Me

[@KaTiToYs_81]

This was the very 1st Baywatch theme i heard before the more popular Im Always Here by Jimi Jamison... i love both versions really.... my childhood..... late 80s and early 90s were the best era for me.... if i can go back in time i will go and stick on there forever....

[@rubiperez3100]

Me toooooooo! Take me back!

[@andreastorkelsson2415]

Latest version off song was i be ready 😜👍

[@OriginalPappy]

Michael Newman was a tech advisor and actual lifeguard.

[@ricksuegreen1502]

This is the best theme for me by a mile. The slide guitar sets this on fire.

[@waltersimmons946]

The slide guitar 🎸 was played by Bonnie Raitt.

[@MaeMee5]

I love discovering any Peter Cetera music. Didn't know about this one.

[@Steve10578]

Have you listened to Glory of Love by Peter Cetera? I first heard it many years back when Karate Kid 2 came out around mid 80s. It's a great song too.

[@frankheck2854]

love Cetera and Chicago but Jamie's version kills this one

[@richmeister29]

Same Priscilla!

[@kamz4576]

It's on his One More Story album.😊

[@chrismale9976]

Cetera's the man

[@U2QuoZepplin]

I almost thought I had imagined this song and original theme tune for the earlier seasons of Baywatch. Everyone knows and loves the "I'll Be Ready," song that went with the most recent seasons but this is the tune I remember from those early days in the 90's watching everyones favourite beach based lifeguard drama.

[@TrevorCole8990]

After NBC cancelled the series the producers had to save money where ever they could. So they exchanged the song by Peter Cetera for which they had to pay royalties to "I'm always here" by Jimi Jamison produced by themselves.

It happened the same to me, I thought for a long time that I had imagined this song...

[@Daniel-oj2ez]

The best baywatch intro ever

[@kimberlyoates5144]

SAVE ME was just so perfect for the Baywatch theme song. What a shame they had to replace it. SAVE ME will ALWAYS be my FAVORITE theme song for BAYWATCH !!!

[@davidboyden5700]

Was the best theme !

[@rampageclover9788]

Baywatch caught the tail end of the 80’s so Save Me was perfect for it at the beginning but in the 90’s it’d have sounded a little stale...I’m Always Here was the perfect replacement...personally I think they’re both awesome feel good tunes

[@younot-ez3xr]

You're right. I just remembered that Baywatch started in 89

[@TrevorCole8990]

@@younot-ez3xr The pilot aired on St. George's Day (April, 23rd) 1989 and the first season in autumn, both on NBC.

[@Heartboy1031]

Bonnie Raitt plays slide guitar and sings backup on this track off Peter's solo 1988 album "One More Story" .

[@Shadowboro2]

Now that you mention it, I can definitely tell it's Bonnie on backing vocals (instead of Siedah Garrett, who handles backing vocals on the rest of the "One More Story" album). And Bonnie always plays a mean slide guitar, so it's no wonder the one in this song sounds so good. The song just wouldn't be the same without her contributions.

+zapfogldorf Not even close. This version is lame.

[@djwho75]

you are right.

[@jody024]

No, the world knows that second theme Jimi Jamison's I'm Always Here is better, there's a reason everybody hears the intro of Jimi's track and people instantly are reminded of Baywatch.

[@zapfogldorf]

jody024 Anyone that watched the original TV movie and the first season knows this is the theme that was used when Baywatch started. Guess it's just a matter of when people were exposed to the show and what theme was playing. I prefer this one.

[@PerthTowne]

Not a Baywatch fan, but I am a fan of this theme. Yes, this was the original theme song in the first year. IMO, this is much better than the later one.

[@sidekickfanboy2904]

This was the theme song to the first season when it was on NBC. Then when when NBC sold it is when the theme song changed is that correct?

[@Makinx]

Yeah this was only used on season 1. Later in reruns and syndication, the new song "I'll be there" was retroactively applied to season 1 as well, so this song kind of disappeared from existence (and most people's memories).

This must be the extended version of the Baywatch intro titles, because there's no way the opening titles were this long on a saturday evening in the 1990s. Mind you given the pretty people onscreen, why wouldn't you. 😁😉😃

[@TrevorCole8990]

Four minutes introduction for a 45 minutes show? Of course not. The original intro (of the first season) lasted about 90 seconds and you can recognize it by the font which had been dark to light orange and underlined. Most of the scenes during the first 90 seconds are taken of the pilot's and the first season's intro. The intros with Jimi Jamison's "I'm always here" were about 2 minutes long.

Great moments on TV... A very healthy series that promoted exercise and body care with allusions to bulimia and anorexia. All this above those women who are a drug!

Excellent editing, sound and pictures alike. The music does fit, especially the way you've put it together. But it's just not what we're used to hearing, with the hard-driving urgency of "I'm Always Here." This sounds more like a good-timey party song. Using this song on the end credits, however, might have been a good compromise . . .

When NBC aired Season 1, it had Save Me as the theme song. After NBC cancelled it and it went into syndication, they replaced it with I'll Be Ready. For later syndication runs and home releases, for some reason they replaced the Season 1 opening with I'll Be Ready and updated titles.
