Fave '50s music themes?

Hawaiian Eye is high on my list.

It has absolutely GOT to be the theme from 'Peter Gunn', especially the Duane Eddy version.
Holds its own with any of the classic Bond themes.

"Meet Corliss Archer"
"Rocky King, Detective"
"I Married Joan"
"I Love Lucy"
"The Honeymooners"

All very catchy! I hope I *DO* get them stuck in my head!




"It's Bucket 'o Nothing! Surprise your friends, amaze your family, annoy perfect strangers!"

I like most of the ones mentioned, at least those I remember. I was not a fan of either Lucy or Honeymooners, but I do remember the themes.

No recollection of "Corliss Archer" (except radio)
No recollection of "Rocky King"

I would add to these lists the melodic theme from "Medic," starring Richard Boone as Dr. Conrad Steiner.

The "M SQuad" theme was slightly reworked for "Police Squad!" with Leslie Nielsen. Even the first episode of the second season of "M Squad" was almost shot for shot used as the "Police Squad" pilot.

1. Peter Gunn (without a doubt)

Others in no particular order:
Mr. Lucky (another Mancini)
The Untouchables
Perry Mason (extended into the '60s)
The Twilight Zone
Alcoa Present One Step Beyond (not so much the theme, but the music that occurs at the time of the psychic phenomenon).


But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!".

The I Love Lucy theme is my favorite.
