Two Questions in One Querry - Singing & The Olympics

[BetterForgotten]

Has any other character sung the vocal version of their show’s theme song on the actual show itself? Not talking about if the theme has lyrics to begin with.

Gloria Loring sang a good bit on Days. The clip's long gone off YouTube, but one of the best scenes ever was the death of Tod Chandler and the news spreading via phone calls to everyone in different locations. You never heard the calls, but the characters were silently on the phone as Loring sang Here, There and Everywhere.

 

At the same time that everybody else had a rock and roll singer, Days tried to make one out of Bo Brady. Thankfully that didn't last long.

i think Woody King sang at Shenanigans?

I think this is unique to Y&R, probably because the theme had already become so well-known outside of daytime by this point.

OLTL and AW had their respective themes performed on-air (within the storyline) by the real-life recording artists.

I feel like the answer is no, but did Loving ever have Johnny Mathis or Jeffrey Osborne on?

I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned "everybody in town's out for dinner and listening to a song related to their present circumstances" scene. Off the top of my head, KNOTS LANDING did it best. Karen Fairgate is having a moment, you all.

That scene was from the sci-fi season of Knots? (given Ms Hartman's outfit choice).

 

I'm just happy someone else appreciates a little soapy camp.

Well, you know me, always with a song ...

 

Those shoulders are just so odd.
