Murder, He Wrote (1945) is on TCM right now. A piece of music plays into the plot. It’s the same music NPR uses to introduce All Things Considered.
What is it? Who composed it? When was it composed?
Is this it?
Here is the part that should go under the screen capture:
The current theme for National Public Radio’s All Things Considered evening news program. This theme was made in 1995, when trombonist and composer Wycliffe Gordon retooled Don Voegeli’s original 1971 theme.
By the way, the name of the movie is “Murder, He Says” as part of Fred MacMurray day on TCM. The movie music is by Robert Emmet Dolan, uncredited. Since the above info says that the original music for All Things Considered was written in 1971 by Don Voegeli, either Mr. Voegeli copied it from the original source, or else the movie music is not the same.
John Williams used the same melody in the score for Jaws:
And the Eyewitness News theme came from here:
I used to think the theme song for the Canadian radio show “As It Happens” was a jazzy version of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, but it turns out it’s an original song called “Curried Soul”.
You’ve got another thing/think comin’!
On the Phish album “Rift” there is a song called “All Things Reconsidered”, which finally dawned on me after many years that it’s actually loosely based on the “All Things Considered” theme. (I think I posted this awhile back in the “Things you realize after a million times” thread.)
I realised that as I opened my inbox just now, and saw the title repeated over and over in the email subject lines. I’ll ask for a change.
DOH! I have noticed more typos since my injury. 
Bird Note has the same music as the jingle for the Campho-Phenique commercial from the '70s. (
Stop hurting, stop healing, with Campho-Phenique )
I excuse all typos.
God knows I’ve had some doozies.
I had a broken couple of fingers on my hand, let’s see…17 years ago, yeah, I’m going with “after my injury” from now on.
(Not minimizing your injury, just jokin’)
BTW, that was about the most awful movie I’ve seen in a few months. What a waste of McMurray’s talent.
