Of fade-in, fade-out tunes: surely Paul Winter's "Icarus" must hold some sort of record (snicker) for this sort of use. The Ventures' song "Out Of Limits" was popular for this , too; it was the 45 B-side of their cover of "Telstar", and was as close to the TV show theme as the title was to the show.Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Red River Rock" was big for this, too, maybe because of copyright matters. Once I was stuck on a Greyhound for four beautiful hours with someone who posessed a baby phonograph and the 45 of "Eres Tu". I now class it with "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall".Cultural context, hey? (Or is that "the folk process"?)
