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:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“I’ve come close to matching the feeling of that night in 1944 in music, when I first heard Diz and Bird, but I’ve never got there.... I’m always looking for it, listening and feeling for it, though, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play every day.”
—Miles Davis (1926–1991)
