Superstars - Music

Music

"Heavy Action" is the name of the theme tune written by Johnny Pearson for the BBC version, leading to the piece being frequently misidentified as "Superstars". ABC also used the song during coverage of Monday Night Football.

The ABC version in the 1970s and 1980s also used an instrumental version of Superstar (from Jesus Christ Superstar) as its theme.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
    Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
    To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
    Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
    And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
    The final relation, the marriage of the rest.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
    The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
    That only I remember, that only you admire,
    Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    What is our life? a play of passion;
    Our mirth the music of division;
    Our mothers’ wombs the tiring-houses be
    Where we are dressed for this short comedy.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
