Members Eric83 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does anyone know why ATWT stopped using the theme they got in 2007? I really liked it, and ATWT doesn't even have a theme anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 Still really preferred this opening to the one that they have now. I think B&B's current opening is about as seizure inducing as GH's. Plus, I grew up when B&B had this one and I remember it so well from my childhood. Along with the Y&R opening theme.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 There definitely was at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does B&B show the cast in the credits everyday??? Or is it just the model/magazine cover, or is it both!? I watch the show all the time, but yet I am COMPLETELY drawing a blank :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 HAHA I find it kinda bland--but the show was at that time It's just the original organ theme unimaginatively scored for every possible instrument at once I think?

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 I know there's some sort of rule that soap vocal themes must have inane lyrics (witness Loving), but wow. I know no one will agree with me--but I hated Passions opening. CRAP CRAP song, badly sung, and shots of a small town, etc, that had nothing to do with the feel of the song. Utter fail. (Re 1970s OLTL opening) I love it, but I prefer when ti was elaborated and made more sophisticated (music and imagery) by the early 80s with the bird, etc Me too, it's like soap opera's take on an Erik Satie composition. It's interesting how soap themes were almost ALL gentle, or sentimental, etc till the 80s (was this partly due to Dallas, etc?) Alternates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 YES YES YES YES I love it. It's like 100 times better than the "standard" EE theme in every way. Staying abroad for a second, I love The Young Doctors, from Australia. It seems like every successful Aussie soap since then has had an opening with a wealth of hot youngsters and a couple of older, wacky people randomly thrown in for good measure, which I guess sums up the shows pretty accurately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrdVcQweYCw To illustrate, Neighbours circa 1999 (which are the episodes that aired on Oxygen a few years ago).

Members All My Shadows Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 Pretty much. Most of the P&G/CBS soaps orchestrated their organ music at that time...EON did, GL did, Love did, Storm did. I'm surprised Search never did. Storm's orchestrated theme, which I found online a few weeks ago, is very pretty, with acoustic guitar and a nice Spanish-flavored sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
