If you come by the construction site to visit, please be prepared for some catcalling from the guys. I don't condone it, but I'll have to join in, so they don't give me a hard time.

Brando 2,038 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 So, this sort of counts. My wife works for a store that sells oils and dips and seasonings/spices for cooking. They sell at farmers markets, to give you an idea of what kind of store this is. Anyways, they usually play 50’s music to set the vibe, but since it’s the holiday season, they’ll either play 50’s music or Christmas music. So my wife sends me a screenshot of what came on the radio, and she only used that emoji to drive me nuts haha: Jay and Mr. Hooper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hooper 2,921 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 A snippet of the Imperial March was played during tonight's Montreal Canadiens hockey game... The French-Canadian commentator soon after said "Et une contre-attaque de l'adversaire!", meaning "And a counter-attack from the opponent!"...which tickled me because, in French, "The Empire Strikes Back" was named "L'Empire contre-attaque".

Mr. Hooper 2,921 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 So as you know, I watch reruns of The Price is Right from the Bob Barker era as a guilty pleasure... No judgements, please. Well, circa 1982, there was a recurring space-themed showcase for which they used a medley including Goldsmith's Star Trek theme followed by the disco version of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme. Oh—just found it on YouTube. Everything's on YouTube! Enjoy. BB-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quppa 135 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Japanese TV shows often use John Williams' music, but mostly Star Wars (for anything to do with space), Jurassic Park (dinosaurs) and Jaws (sharks). This week's episode of the quiz show Konya wa Nazotore used Hook for the first time that I can recall - maybe the producers were inspired by the release of the Ultimate Edition. The segment in question was regarding a fancy department store - I guess The Banquet is kind of regal. Aside from JW, How to Train Your Dragon is used very frequently, along with some older Giacchino themes. Overall they have good taste. 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.42.06.524-00.42.28.546-seg1.mp4 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.43.06.584-00.43.40.618-seg2.mp4 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.50.25.022-00.50.45.042-seg3.mp4 On 29/05/2023 at 2:35 PM, tee_oh said: I've been living in South Korea for 11 years, and one of the reasons I never watch Korean reality TV is because of its constant onslaught of OCD editing. Basically 99 percent of every a reality or variety show's runtime is filled with onscreen text accompanied by sound effects, and they constantly play 15 to 60 second clips of music, with only a few seconds void of music between each track. So whenever someone starts talking about a new topic, or has some kind of reaction to something, it switches to some new music. It's almost exclusively copywrited music from anywhere in the world, sometimes film music, sometimes pop, and sometimes classical, and primarily from western counties. I wonder if the production companies buy some kind of blanket license to allow them to use basically whatever music they want. I've heard John Williams pieces dozens of times, mostly Harry Potter or Star Wars, to the point where it's no longer an "unexpected random encounter" because I'm always expecting it. I always get irrationally angry when it's some film music I like because it's taken so out of context that it detracts from the impact of the piece. For example on some comedic variety show, someone does something in a determined way then the imperial March starts playing. Or when someone on a travel show walks into a European village saying "wooww it's so beautiful" and they play Hedwigs Theme, or test flight from HTTYD if they want it to sound more exciting. Interesting that Japan is exactly the same, even down to HTTYD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
