A lot of musicals (including, yes, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe, Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, etc.) that are adapted for film include a new song or several expressly so they can qualify for the best song Oscar. So you can't just willy-nilly assume those are all bad listings. There often are original songs in the mix. True. In THE SOUND OF MUSIC film, the two new songs ("I Have Confidence" and "Something Good") have both music and lyrics by Richard Rodgers only. If we adhere strictly to the rules, Oscar Hammerstein shouldn't be credited at all. | | | | Last edited: by scooterberwyn |

Actually, the rules do require an actual "Theme By" credit. Ah yes, just like the rules require an actual "Song Writer" credit...  |

Ah yes, just like the rules require an actual "Song Writer" credit... I guess I am missing your point here. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Now we've heard the pros and cons: can we have a voting, what the majority thinks? Maybe with the current pending example Love and Marriage for Married with Children...

| | Posted: | | | | I guess I'll stick my neck out on this one....  In viewing the closing credits for several episodes of Married With Children, they are shown as: "Love and Marriage"Music and Lyrics bySammy Cahnand Jimmy Van HeusenAlthough it is obvious by listening that the song is the theme, there is no actual "Theme by" credit defined. So for now, I think to interpret this as a "Song Writer" credit, and according to The Rules, NOT VALID as an Original Song written specifically for the series. Also, I would like to see the Contribution Rules updated so that the "Theme by" credit is also stated that it must be an "Original Song written specifically for the film or series", so that there is more guidance here and no controversy.Hope this helps answer the question...

(perry) The CSI franchises also use a song by The Who - Pete Townshend writer and no mention of Theme. Already received no votes and denial on the contributions of 12 out of the 65 I did. So even the screeners are not consistent. |
