Theme Music
For the first six weeks of the programme, the theme to Juke Box Jury was "Juke Box Fury", written by composer and arranger Tony Osborne and recorded by his band under the name Ozzie Warlock and The Wizards.
The programme's producer Russell Turner then replaced the theme with another instrumental, "Hit and Miss", performed by The John Barry Seven Plus Four, which remained the title music from 1960-1967. For the last few months of the original series this was replaced by a version recorded by The Ted Heath Band.
The 1989/1990 Jools Holland series also featured "Hit and Miss", this time recorded by Courtney Pine.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or music:
“The saying, “The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored,” is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.—A theme for a great poet would be God’s boredom on the seventh day of creation.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“See where my Love sits in the beds of spices,
Beset all round with camphor, myrrh, and roses,
And interlaced with curious devices
Which her apart from all the world incloses!
There doth she tune her lute for her delight,
And with sweet music makes the ground to move,
Whilst I, poor I, do sit in heavy plight,
Wailing alone my unrespected love;”
—Bartholomew Griffin (d. 1602)
