Brings back awesome childhood memories sitting at home with grandma during the summer. Price is right fan since 1987.

Best kind of music to hear while 3D modeling.

Rod Roddy too, played in just about every other episode's showcase

[@junyah1]

It's my childhood at my grandma house. Plus I love these sounds

[@apap1586]

This is my childhood for me back in the early eighties. Used to watch this with my grandmother back in 1981.

[@MemoGrafix]

Same here, I watched with All My GrandMothers since the 1970s

Ohhh man this sooooo reminds me of spending the summers in the early to mid 1980’s in upstate NY at my grandma’s house up in the mountains. WRGB 2 CBS. Love this track ❤️!

[@marcusarline1720]

I remember this theme when I was small growing up in the 80's with Bob Barker and Tom Kennedy.

[@willmack5909]

I remember hearing this music when I was 5 and 3/4 years old back in late 1972. The music gave me chills back then. Now here I am, 49 years old and it still has the same effect on me in 2016. I especially love the transition starting around 0:44 mmmmmm

[@jasongates-]

RIP Rod Roddy.

[@oldiesmusic76]

Johnny Olson

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Love this tune!

[@Charlie-Cat.]

My favorite of all the Price is Right themes! Thanks for posting!

[@KentB3]

This is actually a variation of the original "Come on Down" music used from 1972 to 1976. In addition to Showcases, it was also sometimes used in the early days of the show as car music.

[@TheEwing69]

KentB3 remember too them using the family feud theme for a new car

[@KentB3]

@@TheEwing69 Yes, and it was also used as Showcase music too.

[@meloyellowduck]

LOVELY! This is my favorite one, and have been hoping for ages to find a track of it, thank you!!

[@Jiltedin2007]

Is it just me, or can anyone else hear Johnny Olson's voice in this Showcase Theme?

+Jiltedin2007 Yes, "Your showcase begins with this! It's a range!" (Followed by a fur coat and a 1972 Chevrolet Vega)

[@idanoreilly]

I hear Rod Roddy's voice! Frequently he would voiceover to this in the 90's.

[@ophthodoc]

I wish. What a wonderful show.

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

As much as I loved Rod Roddy (having been born in '82, he was the one I grew up with) but I think Johnny's voice just went better with it. I still also associate Rod with the Press Your Luck reruns.

[@kjemradio]

When I was a kid I never paid close attention to Johnny, but as I've been binging on TPIR on Pluto TV over the past week or so, i realize what a fantastic announcer he was. Most everyone remembers Johnny's replacement Rod Roddy (who also passed away).

[@gregorygondron8118]

Walt Levinsky composed for Score Productions, a well-known production company specializing in TV music. Levinsky is credited on a 1972-1976 album of music cues for The Price is Right, which includes much of the show's music that is still heard today such as the showcase showdown and various car cues.

[@farodyoung]

Love it ! Reminds me so much of my childhood :)

The best Price is Right theme ever you could listen to it for hours !!!!!

Groovy but scary, I feel like im going to be zapped out or suffocated inside a bright orange shag carpet

[@GoogleUser-yv7fe]

This song is one of the reasons I got hooked on TPIR I've always wondered whether it was a real song or just made for TPIS. Thanks gsn93

[@gsnman]

I remember hearing the cue in surprising situations on the show, like when a trailer was offered in the Give or Keep game, around Jan. '76.

[@TheEwing69]

So love this, was the music on the first showcase, back in the good old days. Lol

[@rlriehn85]

[@nccvball]

If I remember correctly, that unusual sound in this version of the theme is the use of a Moog synthesizer from Edd Kalehoff. He worked on the film "Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker" (great title, ehh). The film is lost at the moment but you can find copies of the trailer on compilation tapes. The music in the film sounds just like a TPIR or Match Game theme.

[@kjemradio]

I've always wondered the name of this cue. Talking 40 years of never knowing since they never showed music credits. Power Punch is my absolute favorite of all the music cues.

[@jed6271]

I seem to recall that this lwas in fact the original opening music for the first few years of the show starting in 1972, I don't know why the old videos of the first season don't seem to have it.

[@macsenplays]

We need Showcase 1 music to play more often.

[@indez23]

A simular version of this background tune was played on its sister show "Concentration" used in the "headstart" opening, minus the flute melody.

[@derricklester9210]

This theme is my personal favorite

[@Jiltedin2007]

I loved this there very much. This was the Theme I have associated to The New Price is Right Game Show. And nothing else.

[@domirules28]

favorite showcase cue ever!!, remember it being used in the license plates and around the world showcases...

[@marcusarline1720]

Drew Carey can't bring these old themes back for nothing.

[@josephD32]

I can see someone making a nice dubstep theme with this. Really don't need to change it too much or slow it down either.

[@bobbytylenol]

this is better than the star spangled banner.

[@blind_t2]

Here’s another good idea for a showcase. Note, this one should be very special, cause it’s huge, maybe once price calculates 100 years in total (from the NBC days to it’s current CBS days,) and hopefully the market could cooperate. The showcase I had in mind is a showcase of prizes spanning Price is right’s history, from its early years, to current incarnation. For example, for the early years (50’s and 60’s,) was thinking maybe a house, then for current prize, maybe stuff to go inside the house, like a TV, bedroom set and kitchen, maybe a sailboat in place of a yot, then maybe a high end car to end with.

[@777jlap]

Best one❤

[@oldiesmusic76]

I think the last year this was used on a showcase was in 2006 with Bob Barker still at the helm. Drew Carey destroyed all the old prize and showcase themes, since taking over in '07.

Rock ON!!!

[@telewatcher89]

@jsf01974 You mean without the main melody? Yes, I believe it's called a vamp version and it's very good. I liked it and wish someone had it.

[@LittleRockElevators]

When Price Is Right did their decades week, this or the original come on down music should have been used

[@blind_t2]

I thought that would be amazing for the 70's show at least for the 2 other come on downs, and the first 3 contestants on stage (first half,) the second half could've used the 1976-1979 come on down cue for the final 3 called/on stage. However we both can agree that it was nice to have them finally get their heads out of their butts and bring the cues back if only for a week.

[@theinvinciblebench]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!

It Sounds like The Come On Down Theme From 1972

[@Rolo555]

They played this music on the Vegas TPIR when I went back in Jan.

[@netsurferx1]

Do you have the version of this song with the "flute" dropped out?

[@joshlyons1975]

Yes, it was also used as one of the "Head Start" music cues on it sibling show "Concentration". The synth (or "flute" ) melody wasn't heard.

[@duke_of_destruction]

Alright Rod tell em the next overpriced item up for bid!!!

this was used on price is right during the first season I think

Even into the 90's it was used on showcases; I remember as a kid this being my favorite tune. Too bad they're too advanced in technology today to need it.

[@christophercoleman1895]

***** yeah the showcase music today is crap

[@blind_t2]

+Idan O'Reilly i see i'm not alone. I started watching periodically in 93, 94, and it was certainly used for showcases at times. didn't actually become a loyal friend in true until 98, and that's when i think this got used as a rare cue.

[@christophercoleman1895]

Tyrone Thompson hmmm but I don't know why this was used for contestants to come on down

[@blind_t2]

+christopher coleman the horn version was the one used as a "come on down" cue, and winner cue (contestant goes on stage to play a pricing game.) this however was used as a showcase cue. the horn version was used from the show's debut until 1976. I'd say this cue, the showcase cue was used until about early to mid 2000.

[@afrosensuous]

FOUND IT!!! WHEW!!!

[@joelakers9234]

soooo 70's theme

[@idanoreilly]

I have tapes of 90's shows that used this too. Yes it's 70's sounding, but that's this show's heritage when it started!!

[@blind_t2]

+Idan O'Reilly there is a 90's era showing on youtube, in which this cue was used in a showcase, the "price is right post office."
