Wheel of Fortune (AUS) theme 1981-1995

[@bluebear1985]

Here it is, the fantastic Ford Festiva Trio, and a host of fabulous prizes, all just waiting to be won, on the greatest wheel around, Wheel of Fortune! And now, here's the star of the show, John Burgess!

Thank you mate, I needed that. In a world gone mad at least we can have good memories. Peace

I love every bit of the music from this version of Wheel. It's so warm and inviting. I hope this entire theme song turns up one day.

Based on "Wheel of Fortune" produced in the USA by Columbia Tristar Television, a Sony Pictures Entertainment company, and distributed by King World Productions Inc.

If you have headphones/earphones you still hear the finish of this song and the start of another (in my case).

Burgo's spin. I miss burgo's spin👍👍

[@7120Magnum]

Makes sense compared to Tony’s “my next spin”.

[@blueboy962000]

Wow. I have to say, this is much better than the American version.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

Really? Better than "Changing Keys" and it's remix in 1989?

[@Marisueksu]

yea US changing keys is best one. to australia's credit, they stuck with the same general theme ever since and sounds like a tacky casino gameshow haha. meanwhile UK just went full on synthpop

[@quizmaster85]

I think they used this around 1984; I think this particular shot was from when they were celebrating John Burgess' 10th year as host of the show.

[@ajk]

You mean 1994 then?

[@quizmaster85]

@@ajk No; there was a 1994 episode that used a clip from a 1984 episode to celebrate John Burgess's 10th anniversary on _Wheel._

[@ajk]

@@quizmaster85 Oh ok, that makes more sense in that context. Thanks for clarifying that.

[@Tubewings]

When exactly did they use the logo seen here? I saw the Sigley episode posted on the Tube, and that one has a variation of the American logo.

[@DM-ol9ne]

Can I get this as a ringtone? And can someone actually phone me in 2020?

[@Tubewings]

So, in other words, they changed the logo when Burgo began hosting?

[@7120Magnum]

My money’s on it being changed while Ernie Sigley was still hosting - there was a small clip on KZbin which has since disappeared of Ernie talking to Adriana and the trilons had by then been changed from green to gold. I’m guessing both were changed at the same time as well as the disappearance of that curtain.
