cross between and intimate meditation

called running of in

a career that had already generated
3:11
string of hit singles and
3:13
albums in her uk homeland
3:16
since the late seventies bush
3:18
had as of eighty five yet
3:21
to score major pop hit in
3:23
america this song who's
3:25
full title was running
3:27

the fall of that year it would
3:36
crack the top forty be
3:38
birds forty one however
3:46
even a song as powerful

bush in the us running
3:55
up that hill topped out at
3:57
number thirty on the chart
3:59
by november eighty five unable

4:51
seven years did bushes
4:53
american audience growth surely
4:57
did , song become more resonant
4:59
to younger generations probably
5:03

7:58
pivotal moment in nineteen

beatlemania in the us
12:58

however
13:11
as noted in our sabbath
13:13
for sweep edition of hit parade
13:16
the beatles arrived in new york
13:19
for the sullivan show already

13:58
the next three months not
14:11
flashy ahead a little over three
14:13
years when the beatles recorded
14:16
this
14:28
all new need
14:30
is love only existed
14:33
because of television it
14:35
was written by john lennon
14:37
and performed by the beatles live
14:39
in studio backed by small
14:41
orchestra for the first ever
14:44
global live televised satellite
14:46
broadcast our world
14:49
watched by some six hundred
14:51
million people worldwide by
14:53
, sixty seven the beatles
14:56
were savvy enough about television
14:59
as a catalyst for hit making
15:01
that these used tv to create
15:04
and market a hit song all
15:06
you need is love top the hot
15:08
one hundred about eight weeks
15:11
after that live satellite
15:13
that live performing
15:26
between i want to hold your
15:28
hand and all you need
15:30
is love how each kids
15:32
used television is
15:34
, the heart of this separate
15:36
episode episode focusing
15:38
on songs that are in some
15:41
way intrinsic to television
15:43
or who's his status can be
15:45
largely attributed to the to
15:48
the , musical impact comes
15:50
in many forms there's
15:52
the t v seen a staple
15:55
of the medium virtually since
15:57
inception and many of
15:59
these songs are so culturally
16:01
omnipresence seeds feel
16:04
like here
16:13
and for example is same
16:16
song to the late sixties early
16:18
seventies a b c sitcom
16:20
the brady bunch is your
16:22
of a certain age or
16:25
you've died just of the show through his
16:27
decades of syndicated reruns
16:29
you can probably saying every
16:32
word as
16:44
and culturally omnipresence as
16:46
is was the brady bunch
16:48
seem was never a hit song
16:51
you would hear on the radio
16:53
by the way in his first
16:55
season this theme song was
16:57
credited to an actual studio
17:00
band the peppermint trolley
17:02
company but they never
17:04
issued it as a recording and
17:06
by season to the theme
17:08
have been recorded by the brady
17:10
bunch kid actors that
17:13
cd version is the one i just
17:15
played the brady bunch
17:17
theme is a widely renowned
17:19
saw how could it not be
17:21
given it's exposure to tens
17:23
of millions of tv viewers
17:26
week after week but it wasn't
17:28
it wasn't hit song now
17:31
here's another popular theme song
17:34
from a couple of decades later
17:47
rembrandt seen
17:49
as you see these friends
17:52
i'll be there for you was
17:54
fueled by the smash and b c
17:56
show but also have a
17:58
life beyond it as
18:00
we've discussed on prior hit parade
18:02
episodes the rembrandt's recorded
18:05
a version that was long enough
18:07
to stand on it's own as
18:09
a radio signal
18:16
and that version of the
18:18
billboards radio songs chart
18:20
for eight weeks in the summer
18:22
of nineteen ninety saw it
18:24
, a real world shit outside
18:27
the confines of the boob tube
18:30
this , distinction i'm looking
18:32
to make even beyond
18:35
their theme music tv
18:37
shows have turned songs into cultural
18:40
touchstones or put them
18:42
back into circulation like
18:44
say this did he moved
18:47
out , wow wow
18:50
, you're you're a baby
18:52
boomer who remembers a pop hits
18:54
of the from seventies you
18:56
know that as the nineteen seventy
18:58
four hot one hundred number one
19:00
smash hooked on ceiling
19:03
by a sweet this
19:05
however your agenda exar
19:07
or perhaps and older millennials
19:10
who recalls older nineties television
19:13
in your head right now you're
19:15
thinking that's the dancing
19:17
baby song from ally mcbeal
19:20
indeed during indeed nineteen
19:22
ninety eight episode of that fox
19:24
that v show the alley mid
19:26
beal character here's the blue
19:28
swede song playing every time
19:30
she imagines swede song generated
19:33
baby a hit meme from
19:35
worldwide web version one point
19:37
oh doing a little shimmy
19:39
to invoke alleys ticking biological
19:42
clock but neither
19:44
ally mcbeal nor the late
19:46
nineties web meme put blue
19:48
swedes hooked on feeling
19:51
back on the charts hooked
19:53
on feeling on ally mcbeal
19:55
was a cultural moment certainly
19:57
but it didn't lead to a river
20:00
it hit song so
20:02
as i'm walking through this episode
20:04
i'm sure many of you will be thinking
20:07
of your own favorite t v musical
20:09
moments whether that something
20:11
is kids she as the doobie brothers
20:14
in nineteen seventy eight on the
20:16
a b c sitcom what's happening
20:18
as raj would say with
20:29
something or his and seen as
20:32
the two thousand and five finale of
20:34
each views six feet under
20:36
which made brilliant use of australian
20:39
singer see his song breathe
20:53
synchronization like the us
20:55
or sinks in the parlance
20:58
of hollywood certainly help
21:00
these musicians careers placing
21:02
song in a hit tv show
21:05
makes are rising artist that
21:07
much more culturally relevant
21:09
but when a song
21:11
breaks free of the few million
21:13
people who catch it on t v
21:16
and spreads to the millions more
21:18
who see or hit songs on the radio
21:21
by them and record stores or
21:23
nowadays consume them on
21:25
digital services that's
21:27
a whole different level of impact
21:30
the song may have been catalyzed
21:32
by it's tv placement but
21:35
it becomes a stand alone hit
21:37
in it's own right that's
21:39
after all is what just happened
21:42
with keep bush's running
21:49
which again was single
21:51
handedly made a soft five
21:53
his by see these stranger
21:55
things this instantly
21:57
ranks as one of the biggest
22:00
the responses of all times
22:02
you could argue that bushes
22:04
seemingly improbable now
22:07
inevitable twenty twenty two
22:09
hits is the byproduct
22:11
of decades of evolution in
22:13
house he makes his
22:21
i'll be focusing in this episode
22:23
on the times when t v directly
22:26
affected a songs chart trajectory
22:29
and there are plenty of
22:31
those the date back almost
22:34

27:41
from the ballad of davy crockett

which was more of an explanatory
27:46
signature song
27:48
by the sixties t v
27:50
was well established and
27:52
so were the models for spawning
27:54
hit songs via the to be
27:56
there was the t v idol all
27:59
love ricky know
28:00
for example gene actress
28:02
shelby sub ray turned
28:05
her stardom on the donna reed
28:07
show into a showcase for
28:09
first single johnny angel
28:11
which hit number one in nineteen
28:13
sixty two
28:25
on the other and b age
28:27
spectrum bonanza star
28:29
loren green took his
28:31
spoken word western outlaw
28:33

28:38
for while that n b c
28:40
tv series he fronted was
28:42
still number one ratings
28:45
still use my late
28:47
that night i saved the life ringo
28:55
yeah i know he leaves of new intern
28:57
this forty nine you are as into
28:59
a chart topping from though in six
29:02
and for one imagines anything
29:04
title wingo would do well
29:06
on the hot one hundred ringo
29:09
, bonanza adjacent
29:11
content but it wasn't
29:13
a theme song those were
29:15
a harder sell on the charts
29:17
tv was going through his period
29:20
of the plot explainer see
29:22
years before the brady bunch
29:24
seems like save gilligan
29:27
the island were trying summarize
29:29
everything you needed to know about
29:32
a show in about a new new
29:34
cousins are some that are
29:37
of our our
29:42
all these explanatory
29:44
theme songs gilligan cylons
29:47
all beverly hillbillies green
29:49
acres were not shark
29:51
hits neither by the way
29:53
decades later was the fresh
29:56
prince of bel air sea
29:58
the trick with a theme song if
30:00
you wanted it to succeed on the radio
30:03
was giving it a personality not
30:05
reliance on the show so
30:08
for example johnny rivers
30:10
theme for cbs is american
30:13
broadcast of the british import
30:15
danger man was titled
30:17
secret agent man that
30:20
song functioned as functioned as
30:22
pops it apart from the
30:24
show and it reached number three
30:27
on the hot one hundred in mention
30:29
six
30:44
or my lucia friends classics
30:47
the for the cvs espionage
30:49
show mission impossible
30:52
which sounded cool even away
30:54
from the
31:04
he he from peter gun
31:06
which saw a truck was his albums but
31:09
didn't show as a symbol shuffling
31:11
banger have seen actually
31:13
class the hot one hundred just
31:16
missing the top forty as number
31:26
part of the issue this chart
31:28
for formants was that the tv
31:31
and music industry's had different
31:33
priorities a theme as
31:35
catchy as c b s's hawaii
31:37
five oh performed my composure
31:40
near and speak
31:49
wasn't designed to burst out
31:51
of the confines of a t v speaker
31:54
over shows credits but
31:57
when established surf rock group
31:59
the vince
32:10
in the sonics extended
32:13
the moment and turned it into
32:15
a legitimate pop hit the
32:17
ventures hawaii five own
32:19
reached number four in nineteen
32:22
sixty nine did ,
32:24
like late sixties rock smash
32:26
but benefited from the tv shows
32:28
top twenty ratings ratings
32:31
see these megaphone was so
32:33
big it could make song a shit
32:36
accidentally in nineteen
32:38
sixty eight he'll want eight
32:40
band leader herb alpert recorded
32:43
a love song for a t v special
32:46
