HBO Feature Presentation 1985 (full audio w/ lyrics)

idk if this mix ever made it to air since I can't find any recordings that use both parts

[@robertaccornero7172]

I was part of the 6 man team that created this entire fabricated model city. My task as the artist was to paint every building, every rooftop, all of the weathering, and every street and surface. I used acrylics, and it took 4 months, six days a week! It was so much fun, my brother was also on the team, and all were seasoned modelmakers from the toy industry. It's so nice to find this clear Hi Res version. Our goal was to make it as realistic as we could, and there is still so much detail the camera didn't see! I'm glad people still dig it! For some crazy reason the only music we listened to was Wagner!

From my early teens and even until now ... this INTRO is AMAZING ❤

[@Variety1985]

NBC and FOX had some KOOL network promotions ... thanks to BOB BIBB and LEW GOLDSTEIN. ABC and CBS had some KOOL ones as well ❤❤❤❤

I was born in 1978, this intro IS my childhood.....when you saw it, you knew it was going to be an awesome night (i.e. mom and dad let you stay up and watch HBO on Saturday night).

[@user-qr8qn6jt6c]

I remember listening to this theme as a kid! HBO has been using this theme for a long, I mean, a long time! I was born in the 90s! Love the instrumentation. Love you HBO!

[@tomhsia4354]

Oh, I finally found it. Ever since I found the instrument version with the lyrics in the comments on KZbin, I HAD to hear this! It's even groovier than I imagined. I'm far to young to have this be part of my childhood, love it nonetheless!

[@drseusslover]

This is from the promotional CD. Rare indeed!

[@drseusslover]

I mean vinyl

[@henrydecastrogenao9389]

That intro music takes me back to my teenage years.

[@HeckmanFT7]

This fanfare has lyrics and is groovier than I expected?!

[@wil25z]

Wow… thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories and good times. 💯

[@jimmydsimmons]

Damn, this took me back, truly appreciate this 💎(gem)..much appreciated.

[@thepatriotsfan7127]

It sounds like something I would hear at a mall in the 80s

[@maxzorin5961]

Thank you. I am going to play this in its entirety anytime I watch a movie on HBOMax.

[@jessbennett9700]

[@josephtisdale5262]

Hard to believe we were discoing to this in Boston.

[@wolfywolf2sda]

The video is so clear. Was it on 3/4” tape?

[@Playhouse76]

Of course, I'm familiar with the tune; we had HBO throughout my childhood in the '80s. I don't think I've ever heard the lyric version. Where is this from? Did HBO actually play this at some point?

[@dawnbennett185]

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊I love you hbo

[@kingchrisl89]

The lower pitched version sounds way better than the higher pitched version

[@Plagius8]

For the love of God remake this now.

[@Variety1985]

YES 👍

[@amb4901]

as long as they still do it with model miniatures, that's part of the charm in my opinion

[@Variety1985]

@@amb4901 Agreed 👍
