The fact this is a piece of music from Hawaii Five-O makes it, if possible, even more awesome. My brother and I would hear this track from our bedrooms around 8 p.m. during the holidays, and come FLYING into the living room, top speed. (This message sponsored by York Peppermint Patties.

1973 was the first year this bumper was seen and heard. That was nearly 51 years ago. The first time I heard it was on the premiere episode of "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown", a 1973 special that had a storyline of Linus running for school president.
The reason why CBS used it is that orchestra conductor/arranger/composer Mort Stevens was actually on staff at CBS, and they owned all the publishing and all the master rights to this recording. So basically, they got a cool "Special Presentation" fanfare for free.
Thankyou for this. Being a drummer I had to know who played the congas on this. Had no idea it was from a Hawaii 50 song. But it makes so much sense now. Very cool.
I just watched this video and I was blown away! I have the Hawaii 5-0 soundtrack on vinyl and never did I match that up to the CBS track. The fact that someone did that editing tape is pretty amazing. Thanks for putting this video together. It totally made my day!!
Well done. I studied communications in college and worked at radio station to help pay tuition. Loved radio production and would spend hours with a razor blade and splicing tape to come up with all kinds of fun creations. This would have been a dream to put something like this together with the original Hawaii Five O soundtrack.
Thank You for explaining a soundtrack that was my childhood Im a 1980 kid so that intro told you fun was coming rather charlie Brown , Rudolph, Frosty, or Dr, Suess looney tunes special
Dude thank you!! I tried explaining the significance of that intro and that music to my kids. They of course cannot appreciate how exiting it was as a child when you only had like 5 channels and these specials were only a few times a year.
That and the intro to The CBS Friday Night Movie and The ABC Tuesday Movie of The Week - which was written by Burt Bacharach - are ingrained in my brain❤❤ Thank you for posting this!!
Wow, I thought I was into finding this again. Thanks for the info! I made the original Special Presentation a text tone on my phone. It's a bit long for that, but super cool. It does very much jive with Hawaii 5-0 stuff now that I consider this.
Kids today don't know... and BTW you had to be right on the money with the splicing block and razor blade... there was no "undo" lol - just deadlines to get stuff done. normally the animation would come first and then it's a timed thing were you need 7 secs of music or the like... crude timing back then as well... clunky, but we lived though it :-)
Listening to the full track makes me wonder if "Playing With Danger" from Valve Software's Team Fortress 2 soundtrack is a nod/homage to "Call to Danger"
This video is such a service to GenX nerds everywhere. Thank you!
Prefer to be referred to as Geek not Nerd...Nerds are folks that are academically inclined, Geek however is likely

This is the ultimate in nostalgia nerdery and I love it! I grew up with this animation!
WOW! This is so cool, and amazing that someone did this 50 years ago with analog tape!
I've not heard this in decades, and I still get that little stomach flutter I did as a kid. Great video, thanks for doing this!
Me too. 😁
You just did the Lord’s work on this one - thanks a million!!
Jack Lord’s work??? 🤨🤪

I've heard of this being done the way you said, but never saw how it was put together. This was excellent...thanks!!!

I just saw the new CBS Special logo at the start of the Tony Awards! It looked just like the classic logo!
Thank You for explaining a soundtrack that was my childhood Im a 1980 kid so that intro told you fun was coming rather charlie Brown , Rudolph, Frosty, or Dr, Suess looney tunes special
Admit it. We all put our arms out and swung them in pace with the spinning letters like a fool as kids…and we loved it!
This logo popped up when before I saw Star Wars episode 4 for the first time back in 1986. So it has a special place in my heart.
Dude thank you!! I tried explaining the significance of that intro and that music to my kids. They of course cannot appreciate how exiting it was as a child when you only had like 5 channels and these specials were only a few times a year.
Wow I really miss these days
Morton Stevens also wrote the music to the CBS Movie nights.
This logo used to scare me as a child, but this is great research!
Yessssss. That is an epic score of music.
Thank you for putting this together. Very informative!
I always wondered who wrote the music, too.
Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea.

Very cool!
I’ve been obsessed with this music and logo animation for years! Thank you for sharing this! 😎🎉💜👏🏽
There was nothing like it.
good work sound quality is terrific
You can also hear bits of The Brady Bunch in that horn section. All produced by CBS.
Neat!
Knew whatever was coming on was gonna be straight 🔥🔥

This is awesome! Thank you!
Nice job!
So many awesome memories!! Thanks for this😍
Nice!! =) Thanks!
Wow this is so cool. Im guessing you are some kind of editor or engineer? It's nice to know about this video's origin.
The original song sounds great, too!
So Cool!!
Great work!
thats interesting they gotta do the old one again
the original music from Hawaii Five-0 reminds me of the johnny quest theme in some parts
How did they do that CBS Special Presentation logo and the percussion part?
GREAT piece of research!
AWESOME!!!

check out the MARVEL Studios Special Presentation animation. Its very similar to CBS.
I assume the graphics were done on a Scanimate.
It could all be hand-animated, too; I wish I could get my hands on a Scanimate.
@@Robtvla I think I remember reading somewhere that there are only four Scanimate machines left in the world.
How does one acquire these soundtracks with all the multiple channels ?
Where could I download Audacity?
