Title: Ray Romano's "Men Of A Certain Age" & The Beach Boys Post by: jeremylr on December 08, 2009, 12:14:02 AM Monday, December 7th, was the series premiere of Men Of A Certain Age, starring Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, & Andre Braugher on TNT. I dvr'd it, & the pilot episode began with the Beach Boys' song "When I Grow Up To Be A Man."
The series is critically acclaimed, & TNT is counting on it to revitalize their ratings. Just cool that the Beach Boys have the theme song to this much-hyped series. Title: Re: Ray Romano's \ Post by: donald on December 08, 2009, 11:45:58 AM Wonder if that will be a regular opening theme

Title: Re: Ray Romano's \ Post by: GLarson432 on December 08, 2009, 09:17:15 PM I disagree that they "butchered it". They went straight to the vocals and didn't wait for the last four bars of each verse played. Understand, this is an opening to a tv show with time considerations. This is how it plays out...minus the last four bars/beats (sorry, I'm not a musician)
Opening swell: When I Grow Up to Be A Man Will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid Will I look back and wish I hadn't done what I did Will I joke around...and still make those sounds When I Grow Up To Be a Man There are virtually no breaks between lyrics/singing. Edited, of course. But I don't consider it butchered. The entire time for this to play is about 23 seconds. |
