Music
The theme song "Seattle" was written by Hugo Montenegro, Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon. Both Perry Como and Bobby Sherman recorded slightly different variations of the theme. Como scored a minor hit, with his version reaching No. 38 in the U.S. on the Billboard Top 40. Sherman's version, although receiving some airplay, was never released as a single. There is no reference in either version regarding the TV series title, i.e.; "...look out everyone! Here Come the Brides!" Starting with the series debut in September 1968 the series opened with a rousing instrumental score featuring screen stills of "Jason", "Jeremy & Joshua", "Candy & Aaron" and "Lottie". At some point during the second half of the first season (and to coincide with the spring 1969 release of the Perry Como 'pop' recording) the TV theme was reworked by overlaying lyrics to the same theme music already recorded (as used previously) along with updating all the opening character stills, including the addition of a "Biddie & Clancey" screen still. This second opening sequence, with added lyrics & new screen stills, was used throughout the remainder of the first season as well as the entire second season.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“A woman’s two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.”
—Loretta Lynn (b. 1930)
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
