As some of you know, I host a website: Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Lyrics And am constantly looking for lyrics for the site. Gonna post some request here. Was thinking about putting a whole bunch in one thread, but they're from different generes so hopefully listing a bunch seperately will work better. These are themes written by Steve Allen for his shows. If I learn what the lyrics are - they'll be on the Internet for everyone to know. -------------------- The Steve Allen Show [#1] (comedy variety) (CBS Primetime, 1950 - 1951; CBS Daytime, 1951 - 1952) Opening Theme 1: "The Steve Allen Theme" aka: "Mister Moon"; Composer: Steve Allen (vocal lyric added in 1954) Closing Theme 2: "Impossible" This melody was later re-used for a song in a 1954 TV musical play called "The Bachelor", for which Steve Allen wrote music; it was recorded by several pop ballad singers including Nat "King" Cole, Andy Williams and Aretha Franklin; it was used as Allen's Closing THEME for this show and for his later NBC Sunday Night Show (1956 - 60); Composer: Steve Allen -------------------------- The Steve Allen Show [#2] / Sunday Show (comedy variety) (NBC Sunday Nights, 1956 - 1960) This is the second of three series which have the same name, Opening Theme 1: "You're The One For Me" Composer: Steve Allen Closing Theme 2: "Impossible" This melody was later re-used for a song in a 1954 TV musical play called "The Bachelor", for which Steve Allen wrote music; it was recorded by several pop ballad singers including Nat "King" Cole, Andy Williams and Aretha Franklin; it was used as Allen's Closing THEME for this show.
