The Price is Right: Splendido! (Nothing But Furniture)
In celebration of the current incarnation of The Price is Right's landmark 50th season on the air on CBS, I decided to try arranging the classic but infamous "nothing but furniture" showcase cue, "Splendido!" My arrangement is for:
Piccolo (playing melody)
Flute (playing melody)
Alto saxophones
2 tenor saxophone groups (top line playing melody, bottom playing accompaniment)
Baritone saxophones
Horn in F (French horn)
Trumpets
Trombones
Glockenspiel
Drum set
Piano
Electric guitar
Electric bass
Several fan sites of the show have challenged fans to write their own lyrics to the song; here is one example:
Oh yeah...It's nothing but furniture:
Sectional Living Room,
StainMaster carpet, too.
Too bad....nothing but furniture:
Elegant Dining Room,
Michael C. Fina and you.
And although,
the bed is soft and deep
You'll get a good night's sleep,
You will still have nothing to drive...
no car...no truck...no van...
...You're stuck with furniture:
tan Broyhill furniture.
Maybe some of it reclines.
You can't believe this is it.
Oh man, it's nothing but furniture.
Rod Roddy's spiel is done.
Should have kept Showcase One.
How will you get this home?
(repeat and fade)
This arrangement (C) me and me alone
Original music by Score Productions
The Price is Right (C) Fremantle and everybody else who owns the rights; it was originally a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Production.
Congratulations on 50 seasons, TPIR!
