Where Have I Heard That Before? (KPM)

Today's theme is stock music.  You probably recognize the following tunes, but they weren't written for the purposes for which they became famous.

One of the more prolific producers of stock music over the years has been British production house KPM.  And one of KPM's most well known pieces is "Heavy Action," by Johnny Pearson.  In the UK, it is widely recognized as the theme to the TV show "Superstars," and it is heavily identified in America with Monday Night Football dating back to its origins on ABC in the early 70's.

KPM was also responsible for stock music used in the children's show Sesame Street, most notably the Crayons segment which shows how crayons are made at a Binney & Smith factory.

The Crayons segment actually consisted of two distinct pieces, both penned by KPM composer Richard Harvey for the stock music album "Nifty Digits."  The segment opened and closed with a tune called "Water Course (A)."

And the portion of the segment in the crayon factory contained the song "Exchange."
