Song of the Day: Raiders March by John Williams

Since today is the birthday of Harrison Ford, it seems only appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Williams’s score of one of Ford’s best films, Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Here is Raiders March, composed by John Williams.

Tonight, I’m starting my summer job of writing about Big Brother for the Big Brother Blog.  In honor of that, today’s song of the day is the little-remembered theme song from the first season of Big Brother!

After listening to this, you’ll understand why they’ve gone with an instrumental theme song from season two on.

Song of the Day: Why? by Herve Villechaize

Since I just reviewed the final Tattoo episode of Fantasy Island, let’s say goodbye with today’s song of the day.

In 1981, at the height of Fantasy Island’s popularity, Villechaize released a song called “Why?”  It’s all about trying to understand why people have to fight and why people cannot just accept the wisdom of peace-loving children.  The video at the top of this post was recorded for a TV show on which Villechaize appeared.  Unfortunately, I don’t know which show it was for and the video upload itself is not the best quality.  Apparently, the split-screen visual effect that gives us two Herves singing at once was a part of the show.

That said, why do we always have to fight?
