favorite theme music

<< < (5/5)

falsealarms:
I've always liked the earliest theme music (circa 1935), the theme music circa 1941, and the theme music circa 1952 ... the worst was the one used on the last Curly's and the early Shemp's.

Woe-ee-Woe-Woe80:
My favorite Stooges theme song is the original Three Blind Mice used in the 1939-42 Stooge shorts, to me that theme song came out during Curly's Golden period and the majority of my favorite Curly shorts had that theme song, honorable mentions are "Listen To The Mockingbird" and the 1942-44 version of "Three Blind Mice"

My least favorite theme song is the 1945-early 1947 version of "Three Blind Mice", I always associate it with the sick Curly era and I consider that to be the sad era of the Stooge shorts, I also didn't care much for the 1944-45 version of "Three Blind Mice" either although I don't get why that theme song was short lived, that theme song has more of a Shemp era feel than a Curly era feel to it.

Although I realize that it is in no way emblematic or representative of what the stooges ever acted like, I have always liked "I Thought I Needed You", the Men In Black opener.  The fanfare is good, and the orchestration is just so Hollywood.   It's like, welcome to your career, boys.  "My Life, My Love, My All" has the same feel: though neither theme stuck, they're exactly right for the moment.  To me they both say Presenting The Three Stooges.

GOTBSB:
Mine would probably be "Mockingbird", just for how delightfully zany it is.

Big Chief Apumtagribonitz:
I have a friend who is a very good trumpet player as well as a stooge freak.  He has listened very hard to the Mockingbird opener, and he opines that along with the muted trumpets, there is actually one guy singing "wah wahwah wahwah wah WAH".
