Theme Song to be Replaced


I e-mailed Gord Lacey of tvshowsondvd.com and got this reply:

With the press release for Life Goes On released yesterday any news on
whether they obtained the rights to the theme song? I e-mailed you
earlier about this concern.

It's going to be replaced; I'm going to post news on that soon.

That kinda sucks but at leat we get the episodes.


Watch the 2-hour Arrested Development season finale Friday Feb. 10 @ 8 on FOX.

Looks like that I'm not the only one bummed about this. The theme song went perfect with the show's opening credits. It was so memorable! It won't be the same without it :(

Of course it's a different version than the original by The Beatles. (You can all thank Michael Jackson for buying the Beatles catalogue of music and then not allowing this song to be used at all!!!) For the show it was sung by the cast (primarily with Patti Lupone leading) but you can hear the rest of the "Thatcher Family" also singing. To hear the tv show version I once again point to the website http://www.kellie.com/ and you will find it there.

It's sad that they have to replace the theme song, but hey if that means they can finally release the DVD's then I'll live with it. I wonder how much it would have cost to have it on it. I have a couple of episodes on VHS, so at least I have that to remember it.

"They might put the original opening credits song as a deleted scene from the original. "

I heard that as a rumor to be put on the Season 2 set.

"Ob la di ob la da life goes on bra, la la how the life goes on" The White Album and The Beatles are staggering. The show is *beep* Corky? What a diabolical actor. My left nut is like De Niro compared to him!!!
