HBO Main Theme Pop Instrumental (Stereo)

[@tremorlok6659]

Don’t you just love it when the internet gives you exactly what you want?

[@TM871]

This would've been great for HBO IDs or Technical Difficulties back in the day

[@aileenblas7669]

Someone needs to say "we are experiencing technical difficulties...please stand by" ad nauseam.

[@SuperAV21]

This is my first time hearing this version of the main HBO theme tune.

[@jnadle1]

This should've been used for this: Tonight on HBO... At 8, the final chapter of all the Marvel superheroes rolled into one final showdown with Thanos, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, Avengers: Endgame. Then at 11:05, the Griswolds are on vacation again, this time in Europe, what could go wrong? Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, National Lampoon's European Vacation. Then at 12:45, one of the most realistic interpretations of one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War, Don Cheadle, Dylan McDermott, Hamburger Hill. Avengers: Endgame, National Lampoon's European Vacation, and Hamburger Hill. A great movie night, tonight on HBO.

Nostalgia. It's a hell of a drug.

[@KKAkuoku]

I’m getting some HAAAAARD Quincy Jones vibes from this thanks to those horns!

[@jnadle1]

You were probably thinking of the song "Ai No Corrida."

[@VectraQS]

Pretty close. Jerry Hey, who often worked on Quincy Jones releases, did the horn arrangement on this.

[@VBaskin2010]

@@VectraQS He also did the theme to both Yogi's Treasure Hunt and The Funtastic World Of Hanna-Barbera too as well!

Oops. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, ladies and gentlemen. We are experiencing some technical difficulties. Please stand by.

[@jnadle1]

The guys in the recording studio sounded like they were jamming. By the way, was that John JR Robinson on the drums? He always employs those types of difficult sounds when performing with artists like Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and Rufus.

[@blozier2006]

Can't say where I found this, but here's who was on the track... Fairlight Tracks/Piano Synthesizers/String Arrangements - Casey Filiaci Chorus - Donny Gerrard, Carl Graves, B.J. Cook, Ferdinand J. Smith, Andrea Robinson, Niki Turner, Laura Singer, Carmen Twillie Guitar - Jeff Gilhart Bass - Jim Johnson Trumpets - Jerry Hey, Gary Grant Trombone - Bill Reichenbach Tenor Sax and Solo - Mark Russo Strings - Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra String Contractor - Ray Ricker Horn Arrangements - Jerry Hey (sorry, no drums or percussion performers listed)

[@TheHGN2001]

+Xpk951IsBack Just the two on that side of the cassette. Actually I suspect they intended it as one long track with the "TV' portion leading into the instrumental here. The other side just has some vocal stuff that's not very good or interesting.
