Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angela Channing" data-source="post: 354459" data-attributes="member: 33">I might be wrong but my memory is that it was neither. Paul McCartney and Wings recorded their version of the theme for one of their albums and the producers of Crossroads liked it and thought it would be great publicity for the show so they used it for the closing credits, initially for a few weeks before reverting back to the original theme. Thereafter they would periodically use the Wings version at random times, sometimes for just one or a few episodes and sometimes for weeks at a time. There never seemed to be any connection between when the Wings version was used and what was going on in the show.It wasn't the only time they changed the end theme, I recall the afore mentioned song More Than In Love being used at least once and also Benny's Theme was used once or twice.My favourite version of the Crossroads theme is the sad version which was used as background music for sad events, perhaps most memorably when Meg said goodbye to Jill on the QE2 and it was used reasonably regularly throughout the run of the series, particularly in the 1970s.[MEDIA=youtube]UA_mETubdtA[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
