Dating Game - Theme Song
For a few seasons on the Dating Game, circa the mid 60's, much of the theme music was provided by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I do know that the music they played when the contestant and the winning bachelor ette were just about to meet, was "Lollipops and Roses".
My question is this -- for the main theme music did they use the song "Whipped Cream" or "Spanish Flea"? As suggestive as those titles sound it's legit!
Also were there any other H. I don't dating what the main theme to "The Dating Game" was, but I do know "game" it was neither "Whipped Cream," which was used as the bachelorette the theme, nor "Spanish Flea," which was used as the bachelor theme. Okay, I know that there were various Herb Alpert pieces used as incidental music on The Dating Game, but is this to say that there were two different opening main themes to The Dating Game?
I have, on a Chuck Barris album, the main theme to The Dating Game and read article the only opening theme I ever remember hearing But a couple of Alpert cuts were definitely used as instrumental music.

Lange used to play their music on the radio. Jeff Amdur. Originally it was a guitar lead, a la the rock bands of that era. There was always that Herb Alpert music playing in the background.
