The opening song is "The Chase" from the soundtrack for "Midnight Express" by Giorgio Moroder. It's total disco cheese, n'est pas? The drums alone always thud in my head when I hear it. However, it will always remind me of Art.

I think the lullaby/80's MTV song referred to above may be that Ketchup song by Los Ketchup. Art really got into it a few months back, saying that Los Ketchup was the "new ABBA" (I wonder if any of them were secretly fathered by Nazis). The song is the new novelty hit, like the Macarena, that people shake their rumps to on the dance floor at Club Med, on cruise ships, etc.
Some of Art's bumper music has made me rediscover some great songs, in particular "Living Thing" by ELO and "Right Down The Line" by Gerry Rafferty. Barbara always plays interesting modern stuff, like System Of A Down and Queens Of The Stone Age, which is fun to hear for the novelty of knowing that the tunes have to be ruffling feathers in some listeners. I hope George can dig up some musical gems, too, when he starts bringing out his own bumpers.

Yes, that's it! Thanks Dotscom and crm. I knew somebody here would know it.
Now all this bumper music's making me miss the old Art show even more.
Here's to hoping he comes back to the airwaves somehow.
Thanks for the welcome and responses everybody.

I saw the an ABBA tribute group open for Britney Spears a couple of years ago, a teen group called the A-Teens.
They did a bunch of ABBA hits. I wonder if Art has seen them. He would have loved it.
