On the CD Classic
TV Game Show Themes (Varese Sarabande 1998)
On the Merv Griffin album Escape
(TAV 1984)
The theme to the long-running syndicated
series is, of course, based on the "think music" of the original NBC show.
That brief composition, originally called A Time For Tony,
was written by Merv Griffin. (The original sixties theme, called Take
Ten, was written by Griffin's then-wife, and does not appear to
have been recorded commercially.) The theme has been modified many times
over the years, and was also covered on the following albums:
On the album Television's
Greatest Hits, Volume II (TVT c1986)
On the Meadowbrook Pops Orchestra
album TV Hits Volume Two (Special Music 1986)
On the album Life According
to Four Bitchin' Babes, Volume Two
This last one is a novelty recording
featuring four folk artists (Christine Lavin, Sally Fingerett, Julie Gold
and Megan McDonough) singing their own original lyrics to the theme.
