On a parallel subject - much TV music I find OK to horrible, but
I'm curious about where CSI found that "Whooooo are you?" song
that they use as a theme - my knowledge of pop music has large
gaps, - and I recommend checking out the original theme music for
"The Medium," which startles me with it's sophistication and beauty.
A TV theme that caught my ear recently was the theme to "Six Feet
Under." It's the only show that I actually listen to the theme all
the way through, even though I taped it the night before and could
fast-forward if I wanted to.
Hi Chris,
I remember liking this too. I'm surprised no one has responded about
"The Medium" theme. Don't know who wrote it, but it stands out in an
environment where almost everything else is ponderous and pounding
and eventually just numbing. (2 favorite shows John Stewart and
Stephen Colbert have pretty awful music.)
BTW, I suppose everyone is aware that it was Patrick Doyle and not
John Williams who is credited with the new Harry Potter movie
music, even though some of the themes are the same. I thought
Doyle's approach was more restrained than Williams'; less wall-to-
wall, more drama-driven, and less memorable as well. My kids didn't
notice the music at all, but my son (age 10) gets antsy every time
the music gets creepy, though he couldn't say why. I suppose that
means the music is doing its job.
I think so.
David Froom wrote me off-list to let me know that all the CSI themes
are by "The Who" - pretty clever music, I think.
