Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Here's the vocal version to the EastEnders jazzy theme, performed by Sharon Benson. I like it much better.

Members DRW50 Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 There's too much going on -- she's fighting with the music and with the backup people, and has to oversing as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 I do think the woman has a nice voice. I didn't mean to put her down. The wonders of the Internet. We'd never get to see some of these shows, much less the themes, otherwise. Back in the first few years of WOST, before I had broadband, I would go and watch some of the theme songs on dialup, and it would take forever, but would be worth it. I was in disbelief at how many opening some of "my" soaps had had -- I remember being especially disbelieving with the GL theme that the Dobsons referred to as "dead leaves."

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Here's the extended, well closing, version of the Ritounelle GL theme (the Dead Leaves opening theme music): It's such a beautiful, yet haunting piece of music.

Members MichaelGL Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 LOL I remember visiting WoST with dial up, and yes each time it would be worth it. I find it interesting that looking at GL from its inception and on, at how many different opening sequences it has had. I'm taking a wild guess here, but HOTL has to have been the longest opening sequence it has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 I guess it would either be HOTL or one of the themes they had in the 50s or 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Oh my Lord, I forgot how long it used to take to watch those WoST clips, and I'd wait in such eager anticipation. Buffering, buffering, buffering... Every Friday was like Christmas, and Christmas was like... well, it was a very special site thanks to Brian and the people who donated material. A couple of months ago I found an old notebook and in it I had jotted down a few things I wanted to search for on my next visit to what was then the Museum of TV & Radio. I had to chuckle to myself as that list is completely checked off now, with almost an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the material I thought I had zero chance of ever seeing.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah WOST was a miraculous Godsend to me for the same reason. I was glad I managed to save over 40 of their episodes, though unfortunately two I most want now (the Loving pilot movie and the 1968 Another World by Agnes Nixon) I didn't seem to save I feel like an idiot--I had NO idea that Harding Lemay wrote under Marland for a time at GL till those credits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Since you mentioned Hollyoaks, THIS one is my abso fave from that show. The music sounds a little like porn, but I think it's more sexy than trashy. Of course, none of the versions on YouTube can be embedded.

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 I remember this openings only thing i liked about it that it was great how it went right into the show I loved that effect!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I really hope OLTL gets a new opening. Only a new design though, I want them to keep the same music. I would also like if somehow they made the theme longer to fit the whole cast into one opening. This is the order I would do: Todd Tea Blair Starr Cole Markko Langston Ford Cristian Layla Fish Kyle Roxy Rex Gigi Schuyler Brody Jessica Natalie John Marty Nora Matthew Dani Bo Kim (In case of recast) Clint Dorian Charlie Viki I didn't put Rachel in since DD is on her way out, and I left out Greg because he has no connections to anyone but Rachel. I added in Fish since he should be in it regardless of being on recurring or not. I also just threw in Roxy to sort of connect Kyle to Rex.

Members MichaelGL Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Return the theme music and the opening sequence back to the 1996 one and I would be a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I wish OLTL would use the theme that they had BLAIR singing the other day. It is long enough to incorporate more people. ANd also somehow i think it just really fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
