RIP Garry Shandling


old school

Recommended Posts

I thought the Garry Shandling Show had the best intro song lyrics ever...

This is the theme to Garry's Show, 
The theme to Garry's show. 
Garry called me up and asked if I would right his theme song. 
I'm almost halfway finished, 
How do you like it so far, 
How do you like the theme to Garry's Show. 

This is the theme to Garry's Show, 
The opening theme to Garry's show. 
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits. 
We're almost to the part of where I start to whistle. 
Then we'll watch "It's Garry Shandling's Show". 

(whistles)

This was the theme to Garry Shandling's show.

It was challenging to work on but always funny and usually fun.  2 fishpoles and 3 hand-held 16mm cameras for all the backstage stuff, which was the majority of the show, and 2 fisher booms and a desktop ribbon mike for the broadcast portions.  Lots of walk-and-talks down a twisting hallway while following a DP on roller-blades... then the actors stop and 2 doorways fling open on either side of the hallway with 2 cameras poking in for coverage... then more hallway and walking and roller-blading... and none of it on wireless mic or boom because the company didn't want to pay so with 2 fishpoles working, lots of times we'd do a hot unplug and plug while one of us ran around to a different end of the set to reposition.  Craziness, but fun.
