JIM LANGE ALWAYS MADE PPL FEEL GOOD AND I LOVED HIS EXCITEMENT AND I LOVE THIS THEME SONG !!!

[@JepMasta]

Anytime we get more name that tune on KZbin it’s a good day

[@HorneATL]

One of the coolest game show themes ever ... and, it was always done LIVE! That adds to the chic factor!

[@gordonbeattie4864]

Couldn't agree more! Amazing theme tune! Would LOVE to get a longer version!

[@xSmootx]

Always loved the Jim Lange version cause of it. Not sure if there's a studio cut (would love to see one pop up if it exists) or if it was always just done on the spot for each episode

[@gordonbeattie4864]

@@xSmootx This exact version was used most of the time - there was a slightly different version occasionally which sounds as if it was played LIVE.

xsmootx4 At least, I’ll take a clean version looped from 18:24 to 18:52. That’s the meat of Tommy Oliver’s wonderful theme!

Man and were able to get away without Copyright Issues back then...... it wasn't like that here with KZbin at all!

[@lojosol]

prefer the format where they spin before each tune during melody roulette

[@newstarcadefan]

Yeah that was a budget move right there.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Man, that 1st tune in the Golden Medley was a killer

First time I've seen the car pulled for the home viewer sweepstakes. I'd heard rumours that the car and the cash weren't included.

[@ebrenner5059]

Websites say that it was halfway during the run that melody roulette became 1 spin and 7 tunes. I think the 5/7 maximum wheel spin rule was less than two months into run.

Host let her get away with "Somebody's Watching You", but wouldn't let the Man get away with "Who Can I Run To"

[@jonacme]

Maybe Buzzr can get Name That Tune

[@PGTransformed]

I doubt it! Not only because GSN never aired any Name That Tune episodes. But also FreeMantle, who owns BUZZR does not own the Sandy Frank Library.

[@newstarcadefan]

Even if they wanted to...they'd have to pay insane music rights.

[@WizardOfWor]

@@newstarcadefan That's the HUGE reason why it won't ever happen.

[@newstarcadefan]

@@WizardOfWor exactly, before Tribune was shut down, they paid a pretty penny to make sure the episodes of WKRP were in tact since they used popular music, and not sound-alikes.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

@@WizardOfWor Well Buzzer brought in The Newlywed Game so who knows?

[@nextbarker2702]

I Wonder why changed to only one spin in Melody Roulette.

[@williamjefferson6234]

During the "Bid-a-Note segment what were those items placed in front of the Money Wheel and Tune Topic Shuffler?

Post more name that tune with Jim Lange with tournament with pat and art

[@thechadmosher]

No.

[@richardhernandez4490]

That was a tough Golden Medley.

[@morgan8757]

get real who can i run to

[@drewconway7135]

It’s Aunt Jackie from “Roseanne” vs. Charley Dietz from “Empty Nest”

[@LogoMan7777]

Thought came to mind: What if only one person wins the Golden Medley in four weeks? Do they automatically win all the prizes?

[@freezeinc631]

Can I pay you for full episodes of game shows? Knowing that you have a lot of clips from different shows (like this one)

trading game show tapes for money is illegal

[@paulbalares2307]

I didn't like this Melody Roulette where they spin the wheel one time and Tune Topics.

[@darrendoyle568]

I didn’t like it either when Melody Roulette went to the one spin format that killed all the excitement for the round
