a career that had already generated

3:11

string of hit singles and

albums in her uk homeland

3:16

since the late seventies bush

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

crack the top forty be

birds forty one however

3:46

even a song as powerful

seven years did bushes

4:53

american audience growth surely

4:57

did , song become more resonant

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

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

22:31

28:00

for example gene actress

her stardom on the donna reed

28:07

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

28:57

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

32:13

the moment and turned it into

32:15

a legitimate pop hit the

32:17

ventures hawaii five own

32:19

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
