Jock theme songs

H

hangman

Listening to a particular oldies site on the net, I just heard Underwater by the Frogman and right away I thought of it being the theme song of Frank X Feller. I remember buying that 45 when someone asked Frank what it was, he mentioned title and artist. I also recall the Bird using Walking With Mister Lee and Hy with Quarter To Three, it was good times when jocks had their own theme songs that identified them. I don't recall if Jerry Stevens, Bill Wright, Ray Gilmore or Alan Dean having songs, just those three. The only other jock I can remember with a theme song was Bob Aloooo Bob Lewis from WABC which was Pipeline by the Chantays, this was all around 1964-65.
 
Bernie McCain (WWDB) used Roger Wittaker's "Small Voice" for years.

John DeBella used Monty Python's "The Bright Side of Life" at WMMR and WPHT.
 
DeBella still uses "Bright Side of Life" to end his WMGK show.

And since WABC was mentioned, can't leave out Dan Ingram's end theme, an edit from "Tri-Fi Drums" by Billy May.
