"Walking" (TPIR Prize Cue)

[@MarkT923]

This used to light me up as a kid. Nothing better than being a kid in the 1980s when you miss school because you're at home sick with a cold and then you wake up with this playing on the TV! Bob Barker, Campbell's Soup or Cup O'Noodles, Vicks, and 7Up were the remedy to beating any cold!

[@ChihuahuaboyDH]

It's the original "COME ON DOWN!" cue music & the "Item Up For Bids" cue music in it's original form. Edd Kalehoff's a musical genius! ...and Bob Barker's a great game show emcee! He cannot be replaced, especially as host of "The Price is Right!". R.I.P. Johnny Olson...1910-1985. R.I.P. Rod Roddy...1937-2003. R.I.P. Mark Goodson...1915-1992. You've all earned a place in our hearts, forever, and ever.

[@Otto8845]

You forgot to mention Bill Todman (1916-1979) & Bob Stewart (1920-2012). They're also dead.

Actually not until 1976.

It's technically not the original Come On Down/Come On Up music. I don't think it debuted until 1975.

[@Rlotpir1972]

Television City is no longer owned by CBS.

[@steve760]

@@Rlotpir1972 Nope. Sold to a private investor in 2018. But CBS is the only tenant, and although their exclusive lease ends next year, I'd be surprised if they went anywhere. The CBS logo is still on the front of the building, facing Beverly Boulevard, and if you're shopping at the Grove, you can see a smaller logo on the south-facing (back) side of the studio.

[@Brandon_85]

All of the tenets of Television City have since left the studio as a massive remodel is taking place. Doubt they will be back in it since they no longer own it.

[@eldercurt53]

True jazz... I love it!

[@joshualazenby1387]

The entire theme itself uses a jazz flare.

[@witherblaze]

Good old Paul, the king of the bonus game and the showcase.

[@ChihuahuaboyDH]

I couldn't think of the actual names of contestants three & four, so I thought up two other "pseudonyms". Paul Levine was invited back as a contestant in 2010. He looked as if he put on a little weight & his hair was whitish-gray. He looked good after nearly 40 years between appearances!

[@witherblaze]

Still ChihuahuaboyDH he is the king.

[@ChihuahuaboyDH]

Paul Levine's bid on his showcase was $2500 and the ARP was $2504!!! Paul didn't win both showcases, because the DSW rule wasn't put into play yet in 1972. Paul Levine is STILL the KING of THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!! Even nearly 45 years later!!! Bravo, Paul!!!

Dang what great memories. The REAL L.A. music scene, 1974-1977. Cruising in Century City. Night drives down Beverly Blvd. Fast wheels down Ventura Freeway. Great escapes to the Santa Monica pier. To turn back time again.

[@getyerkix]

Edd Kalehoff got screwed out of royalties for the main theme. Also the music was all recorded in England.

[@albertowen1025]

@@getyerkix - Exactly my sentiments, sir! Well said.

[@ChihuahuaboyDH]

Whenever I hear this theme music, I always picture the original 'Barker's Beauties' (Janice Pennington, Holly Hallstrom, Dian Parkinson & Kathleen Bradley) modeling an "IUFB" prize! Bring back the good ole days of "TPiR!". I wonder what all of the above ladies are doing now?

[@danspizzacorner9711]

(Johnny Olson) Thomas Paine, COME ON DOWN!!!! You’re the contestant on The Price Is Right 0:24

[@TSquared2001]

I'm glad I've found this one again. I'd always think it was a part of Come On Down. But at 0:38 I was back in time. I'd almost hear it when they played the Grand Game, Grocery Game, Take Two, Temptation and Hole in One.

[@getyerkix]

I’m not good at adlibing, but I have considered going back and watching a few episodes and transcribing the copy and just try doing it myself while I’m listening to it. I guess you could almost call it Johnny Olson karaoke

[@getyerkix]

Also as high as I am right now all I can think of is “creamettes macaroni”

[@bmaze35640]

0:38 the grocery items from the Grocery Game or Checkout

[@getyerkix]

Creamettes macaroni

[@jnadle1]

0:39 was heard a lot on grocery games like Hit Me, Grand Game, as well as small prizes in Temptation.

[@InflatablePlane]

Wow this is really good. Out of context from the game show its just really good jazz lounge. Anyone know who the session players on this was? They've all got serious chops.

[@gryphon202]

Keyboardist I believe was Edd Kalehoff, who wrote the tune. I'm not sure about that, but Kalehoff wrote a lot of cues on TPIR with Robert Israel, and keyboards were his first instrument.

[@jnadle1]

Walt Levinsky had a hand in writing this.

[@newstarcadefan]

@@jnadle1 yup, from what I remember Walt Levinsky also had a hand in the Bean Stalker.

[@getyerkix]

I believe it was recorded in England by English session players, Edd Kalehoff tales about it in this podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/twenty-thousand-hertz/id1171270672?i=1000453427580

[@mysticpuffy]

So they used the beginning for Come on Downs during the show, the middle part is for grocery items, most notably during "Hi-Lo", the end is the Come on down that's used at the beginning.

[@ChuckD79]

The middle part is my all-time favorite grocery product cue!

[@timothylegg]

It makes me walk around my kitchen and pick up all my foods as if I'm shopping again.

[@patrickballoonman]

What you hear at the beginning of the clip entitled "The Price is Right, Come on Down 1979-2007" begins with what's heard at the 1 minute, 40 mark of this track. I just think it would be neat to edit the two track together accordingly.

[@prestonbriggs441]

Wonderful Jazz

[@tpirman1982]

@jimmifingerz Doesn't sound like the real Come on Down '76. It was just the '76 portions spliced into the '79 version at the appropriate times.

[@edwincancelii2917]

It also used in Temptation & Come On Down.

[@skystarless]

Is it just me, or does that keyboard solo kinda sound like something Richard Carpenter would've done?

[@getyerkix]

Was it a Fender Rhodes?

[@denelson83]

The middle cut is also used in Temptation.

[@KDJW5]

Nice beat!

[@CatholicTraditional]

They should have never changed the music nor the set when Bob retired. Price is Right ratings are now in the tank!

[@sandcreem]

I agree !!...That would be sweet!

[@jay_dee_wise]

The last beat of this song is a C on the organ whatever and an F on the harp.

[@NDW85]

I was wondering if you had the 2nd thought music cue. I really want to hear the full version of that music cue. Thank you very much.

[@marcusarline1720]

Here it comes, Live From Bob Barker's Studios The 60 minute Price is Right.

[@patrickballoonman]

I know it may seem like a lot of work, so I'll understand if no one's willing to do so. But I'd like to hear the first 1:40 of this track segue into "Come on Down '79-'07.

[@YankeePat94]

0:39 is a grocery cue

[@am74343]

Is this an Edd Kalehoff composition?

[@4everlivin99]

Yes

[@tpirman1982]

There's something I'm wondering, at 0:25-0:26, 0:36 and 1:57 on the second half of the brass bridges (as I like to call those parts), what instrument is on the second half of the bridges? Piccolos?

[@joshualazenby1387]

+tpirman1982 The theme is jazz flared if that helps.

[@tpirman1982]

Not exactly. I was wondering 0:25-0:26, 0:36 and 1:57 at the second half of each bridge flare, what instrument(s) was used in the 2nd part? Piccolos? or what?

[@joshualazenby1387]

Are piccolos used in jazz?

[@finished6267]

tpirman1982 nice answer. Flutes, I believe and yes, flutes are used in jazz, there are jazz soloists who play flute.. haven’t you seen Anchorman dude? Haha. Herb Laws

[@GumbyPokey-c8w]

Used in January 13, 1976 and Taped December of 1975.

[@IamFatcat.]

0:35 SMART JOKE

[@blind_t2]

here's what i thought, should Price see 50, and Bob and the originals that still are living, I thought this theme could be used, and if only for this huge show, bob and the originals let bygones be bygones, and all come out through the double doors and grace the audience with their presence. also, the originals could work alongside the new models, just to show them how it's done.
