You Can Count On Me (Hawaii Five-O) - Sammy Davis Jr

Sammy Davis Junior shakes down some hot-rodding punks then, in rapid pursuit of armed felons and the perfect cover version, heads West along Kalakaua Ave towards Kapiolani Pk and sings the theme tune to Hawaii Five-O.

He sings it. With lyrics. Yes, really.

...though if Sammy had really been part of the Wakiki Police Department he'd never have found club owner Juan Fernandez (special guest star Ricardo Montalban) guilty of the murder of Solly Goldman, his gangland rival and owner of the Coconut Club... he'd have just hung out in the VIP lounge, scaring the cocktail waitresses with his glass eye and trying to make up his mind between Judaism and Anton LaVey's Church of Satan.

Bonanza Ska - Carlos Malcolm

Carlos Malcolm and His Afro-Jamaican Rhythm tackles the theme tune to the long-running US TV Western....

...though if Carlos and his ska band had been in charge of the Ponderosa, they probably would have sold it to the mine owner (special guest star Ricardo Montalban) straight away... and the mining company wouldn't have had to resort to hiring an actress to pretend to fall in love with Hoss.

Although the Bonanza TV series ended in in the early Seventies the Elmer Bernstein influenced theme is still one of the most famous TV titles of all time, and a big budget Hollywood version is in the works starring Judge Reinhold, Lorne Greene Jr and a computer generated Little Joe.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

Special guest star Harry Swoger as William "Bullethead" Burke
