Weekend tunes ...

Saturday, December 20, 2025

Anything goes on this thread. So post whatever y'all want. But I'll try to stay with media theme songs (emphasis on "try"). The cited link is A Swingin' Safari by Bert Kaempfert (1962). A theme of the TV show, The Match Game back in the day.

Such an upbeat tune from such a, I'll be kind, disturbing movie.

W.G. Snuffy Walden - West Wing Suite
www.youtube.com

Yeah, I often watch the West Wing DVDs that I have to assuage me that Pres Trump's reign of terror upon the Constitution is only a temporary thing.

That aside,from what I've heard, the producers of The West Wing decided that a more classical music oriented music background would be better for the show than the original rock-oriented music background that had originally proposed.

imo, good decision.
