Fleetwood Mac theme song

diamondsnake · #1 10-14-2004, 09:59 PM

Are there any Fleetwood Mac songs that you think would make a good theme song for the opening credits of a tv show? The reason I ask is because I am in TV Productions at school and I have the responsibility of creating a new "open" for the next term. And of course I want to use a Fleetwood Mac song!

Right now I am leaning towards the SYW chorus but I really want a song that is going to appeal to people and I don't know if my high school would appreciate Stevie's whiskey, nasally voice on this song. I was also thinking the Chain might be a good one.

Does anyone have any ideas? I need to find a thirty second to one minute clip. I want it to get people's attention but not be too loud since they air early in the morning and most people wouldn't be in a "Come" mood!

What's the alleged show about? Wouldn't that be important in choosing an opening?

It is just a news show where we report what is going on around school, say the official pledge of allegience, announce who made the chearleading squad, etc. But no one ever picks a instrumental, news appropriate song. It always ends up being some obnoxious punk rock band. So I thought now that it is my turn to do it I should pick something classy but I don't want elevator music either! Any ideas? I thought Say You Will would be a good bet. And of course the "Chains keep us together" chorus make sense since we are a school and chains keep us together! lol

Well, if it's a news show, i would say "WTWCT" or "Peacekeeper" or "Murrow turning over..." but you're probably not supposed to have a big message, so...well, maybe Peacekeeper, the chorus? It's hard for me to get a sense of what you want to accomplish with your opening...

How about going older...something like "hypnotized"? from Mystery to me - or the solo from "Oh well"?

I've never heard Oh Well but I love Hypnotised and if I did a black and white opening it might be really cool and mellow, you know?

How about "Don't Stop"? That's a great way to start off anything!

That's a great idea! I love that song. I think the album version might sound a bit dated though- but the Dance version might be perfect!

Thanks, both WTWCT and Peacekeeper crossed my mind. Second News Also sounded appropriate since it is a news show! But I think my teacher wouldn't find "lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff" appropriate.

But really I am not trying to convey a message it is just a way to introduce the news.
