I get a song stuck in my head and end up having to look up everyone who ever covered it. This one is one of the weirdest I’ve encountered.
And it was composed by Quincy Jones, who has earned a small mountain of awards for his music over the years. Not many TV shows get a theme as good as that one.
Also, the final note on the bass is a mistake, but they left it in.
You couldn’t take those sort of things out of live recordings back then.
I can’t remember… I can’t remember what is was…
“The Streetbeater”
Correct. By Quincy Jones. But I had no idea there were lyrics!
TIL also
great share!
Awesome!!! Love it.
What the heck. This rewrites a chunk of my childhood.
Yeah they’re: “Quiet down now. It is time to watch the show, yes it’s started, don’t be lickin’ me no mo’, matter 'fact could you get me a handiwiiiiiiipe?”
