Hi Hat groove with the bassline is just nice...

[@andrewcarusoii7947]

[@thegameshowgeek]

A true game show legend is now gone. America's Oldest Teenager sure made the job look easy, but none can do a show like he did. Rest in Peace, Mr. Clark

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

"For now, Dick Clark... so long!"

[@saints093]

If ABC renews the $100,000 Pyramid, they need to bring back this theme from the 1980's, this theme was SO COOL and still is :)

[@mackenziewachter2508]

They did!

[@AiRwOlFe23]

Best game show theme of all time, IMO.

[@shaunsanborn7840]

Match Game '73-'82 gives it a hell of run for the money, though.

[@CJ_7519]

ONE of the best game show themes of all time. Everyone knows that The Price is Right is the BEST game show theme of all time!

[@simonjimenez4663]

is good but not better then THE PRICE IS RIGHT

[@rafalojc]

The best and it’s not even close

[@brentobrien9737]

SO TRUE JORDAN...BRENT OBRIEN NO ONE CAN FILL. DICK'S SHOES!!

[@tonybidwell2582]

Jordan Thomas If you think about it, it's kinda also in memory of Charlie O'Donnell (August 12,1932 - November 1,2010)

[@thomaspostal6977]

Jordan Thomas I Agree

[@alexortiz7446]

we can only hope they played this song @ his funeral

[@reachforthetop9]

According to legend, Bob Cobert apparently took the score for the main riff of the original "Tuning Up" theme and turned it upside-down to get the foundation of this theme. Either way, they both slap.

[@stevecharger7962]

There was never a more bangin' game show, or possibly TV show, theme than this.

[@rwboa22]

[@jayclean-mean9400]

Also Bob Cobert, the composed of the Pyramid theme here, died in 2020.

[@davidemays7862]

Funkiest game show theme song.

[@RadioFreeCedarCity]

Tuning Up is funky, I'll give you that, but the funkiest game show theme of all has to be CBS's Now You See It...the legendary Quincy Jones put that one together.

[@puremercury]

This is a bop.

[@chrismc410]

If it's funk you want, try the 70s version that The $10K, $20K, first $25K, and $50K used

I remember when this debuted, we thought the winner's circle was so cool. Some say it was the best-crafted gameshow in TV history.

[@alexortiz7446]

i was a kid when i watched this show....no problems lovely childhood so when i watched the contestants win and this music came on @ the end i was like "thats the epitomy of winning" and this music is forever associated with that to me and i must hear it frequently

[@genegjr]

#Rip Dick Clark he will be surely missed as original host of Pyramid no one could host this show as great as he did

I am so ecstatic that I found this version of this song it is an earworm that has lived relentlessly in my head since the 80s when I was a kid and this just made my night thank you so much 🥰😍🤩

[@MrJones-mm4rl]

Unfortunately this song is now drilled into my brain and will never be forgotten. Thanks Dan Lebatard and the entire shipping container of frightened refugees.

[@OverlordR]

The time signature seems weird, but I think it's just how it returns to the chorus on an off-beat every other time. That always weirded me out even as a kid. Thanks I guess, Bob Cobert, for making me notice.

[@Nexus5001]

Could also be because apparently to make this theme they literally clipped parts of the 10,000 dollar pyramids sheet music out and flipped ot upsode down (Credit to Grid17productions Game Show Reviewer)

Brings back the summers of my childhood. Mom was a teacher and had it off too. Was a morning staple during the week. Thought the song was just looped but they switch it up and get funky at 3:39

So catchy...heard this tune in another video as background music and had to Shazam it. Don’t know this game show but the tune is so fun and upbeat, love it!

[@kaseywestbrook8564]

From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, this is the $1,000,000 Pyramid! Our special guests this week, celebrity chef Rachael Ray and from NCIS, Mark Harmon! And now, here's your host, Donny Osmond!

[@TBONE_2004]

+David Davenport How about Todd Newton? He's perfect for the show. Plus, I see The $1,000,000 Pyramid being a season long tournament format. During the preliminary weeks, the top prize is $25,000 for two consecutive wins in the Winner's Circle. The contestants who have the biggest winnings move on to the semi-finals, where $100,000 can be won in the Winner's Circle. From there, four contestants return for an hour-long finale, where the top prize in the Winner's Circle is $250,000, and the two winners of those games battle it out in one final race to 21. The contestant who makes it to 21 first wins $1,000,000. Not only that, I see a syndicated run of The $100,000 Pyramid working too.

[@thegamerontop5348]

Probably not Todd Newton for this show, he'd go more with Press Your Luck. I guess Mike Richards could work for a Pyramid reboot

[@rwboa22]

On the official Facebook site, NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan is hosting.

[@tonybidwell2582]

+Richard Bowley You're absolutely right about that & they'll bring this theme song back!
