Well, whaddaya know... Turns out the John en Marsha theme song was actually a tune from Quincy Jones called 'Rubber Ducky.' VIDEO
Geez, we learn something new everyday, huh? "Kaya ikaw John ... " Hey coasters,
Been out for the weekend. It's great to see Franks' catalog crop up in the thread. That is also a personal favorite which contains countless gems. You guys also mentioned one thing that I just have recently noticed - Yeah, these are the Crusaders!
A little confession: I've been on a personal pursuit to woodshed Carlton's take on 'Down In Brazil' since, well college. I won't tell how long that has been - ha ha ha! But until now, I have not finished it. Put it together with Grant Geissman's phased out 'Feel So Good' part. Maybe this year, maybe next year - maybe never.
Franks' poetry is surely way up there, bar none.
Here's a 'Frank' question: You guys familiar of a local instrumental adaptation (kinda' whistling melody) that comes close to Michael Franks'
Vivaldi's Song? . I'm sure I heard that somewhere as a kid listening to AM radio and dramas while playing tatsing.
As to the topic on music beds, Rubber Ducky is originally on the movie "$ (dollars)" with Goldie Hawn. I erroneously thought it was Dan Elliot, but Jones indeed.
Hanganda ng Rhodes talaga naman!
I also remember that Egocentric Molecules ad, and the same track was also later used for Firestone's 'Firehawk' tire ad. Another TV ad also used Bob James' 'Touchdown'.
Here's a few more to kick the week:

If you guys remember NBC (Nation Broadcasting Company) in the 70s -80s, this track's highly recognizable: Session heavyweights M.F.S.B's Love is the Message:

ST: Reading your posts takes me back to a familiar zone: feels like reading the articles and journalism whatnots on Jingle mag. Yeah.
