I was wondering how many disco versions were made of the love boat theme in the 70s..these are the ones I know of:

Jack Jones
Charo
Key Hano
Spice
Frankie Avalon (never heard this one!)

Are there any others? Please let me know :D

Well in the middle of all this snow I could really use some episodes of Love Boat series :P Give it to me please 8)

Jimmy: It's worse than I thought. You also have 'poor actor in naval uniform looking twee itis'. Now that IS serious. :o

Radar Specs. You wouldn't need anything over the hill then, 'cos you'd see right through to their wrinkly bits. If that didn't stop ya, nothing would. However, you might develope average joes with heavenly bods underneath posting syndrome. :P

Wow, Ted dont look too much different now than back then LOLLL. And to the person asking about the Amanda Lear, it's on her CD (not LP cause its too new) "Heart". Now i must go and head to the family's to stuff my fat ass for thankgiving LOL (a holiday in the US we have for those who dont know)

Quinny, come on man, join us!

Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

Always loved that theme :D

If there’s a cure for this
I don’t want it
If there’s a remedy
I’ll run from it

**K-Bee** · November 26th, 2004, 02:13 AM

and it goes on....

Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! (hey-ah!)

Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
It's the Love Boat-ah! It's the Love Boat-ah!

The love boat cast TODAY!!!!! (or recently at least)

Jimmy: No one has mentioned one version that I think is worth hearing (well, as much as any version of The Love Boat theme! :P ). It's called "House Boat (Love Boat Theme)" by DJ Richie Rich from 1996.

This remix takes the original Jack Jones version and adds a dance beat and pumps up the horns. What's great about this mix is that it doesn't screw too much with the original structure of the song, except for extending the instrumental breaks and adding some edits that repeat the word "love" over and over until the fade. The track clocks in at 5:56.

I found the song on a 1996 bootleg CD called The Unreleased White Labels 10. I don't know how easy this will be to find, but the label is listed as: "Hey Girrrl!, a division of You Go Mary! and Get This Queen a Cocktail Inc." :lol: :lol: :lol:

**Jimmy-Michaels** · November 29th, 2004, 06:27 PM

I do actualy have a copy of that version :D It's actualy a good mixing tool and I even used a sample of the drum beat from it for something im working on

**Bernie** · November 29th, 2004, 06:31 PM

Jimmy,
I can't believe you are listening to and like the "Love Boat Theme." Don't you know that the "Theme From CHIPS" by Corniche is the one to play 8) Cheesy as all hell, but fun.

**Jimmy-Michaels** · November 29th, 2004, 06:39 PM

Hey Bernie..the Love Boat is class, gotta love it :lol: I love it I love it LOL...and also...the Corniche is another great one...even got the 12'' promo on Windsong

(i'd sometimes play this when I've done private gigs in the past lol). One thing bout the Corniche record..there was on a comercial 45 (7'') an actual B side with another song...anyone familiar with it or could tell me what its like? Never heard it as the 12'' has the extended CHIP's theme on both sides :-?

**Bernie** · November 29th, 2004, 06:45 PM

Only have the promo 12 inch like you so I don't know any other of their songs. I would imagine it must also be instrumental.

Oh forgot to say that the producer's other works can be found here...

**Jimmy-Michaels** · November 30th, 2004, 12:26 AM

LOL dont look like alot of good things to be said about the producer's other work.

**K-Bee** · November 30th, 2004, 01:50 AM

Oh why is that Jim? - Don't you like Paul Anka? :lol:

**Jeff H** · November 30th, 2004, 10:12 AM

Eek! I have that I.R.T. record listed in his discography. It's actually not bad if you like cheese.

Interestingly, the flip side (if I remember correctly) is a mono recording of the original version of "Lullaby of Broadway" from the 1930s!

Speaking of cheese and Paul Anka (same thing??!), I recently found a 12-inch by Anka and Karla DeVito (Mrs. Robby Benson) from 1983 called "Gimme the Word." Really bad '80s synth schlock. This song makes that duet between Jermaine Jackson and "Lonely Lady" Pia Zadora sound good. :roll:

**markydefad** · November 30th, 2004, 12:22 PM

BTW, Jeff...did ya know that Paul Anka is Jason Bateman's father-in-law? I heard Jason
(Arrested Development") tell this on a chat show over the long, long weekend.

Jason says Paul carves the turkey while singing "special Turkey Day lyrics" to "My Way." Was he kidding? :roll:
