LMAO, this was the opening for the final season of Love Boat? What were they thinking? Dionne Warwick singing wasn’t going to save the show:

They wanted to 80s things up a bit - the classic, disco style Jack Jones version didn't fit in with the times, and they also wanted a little more of a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" motif.

Not saying it helped, but that's what they were going for.
