What is the name of the theme music?
Does anyone know the title and artist of the theme music to "Mother and Son"?
shareIt's called I Want A Girl, with the refrain running "I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad." An old jazz standard, and an appropriately chosen one at that.
I don't know who originally composed it or who's playing it in the show's credits, but that should be enough information to start on if you want to find more details.
Great, thanks butterbaby. I've found the music from an ABC TV themes CD, and it was played by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately it is only 45 seconds long, too short for a swing dancing number. I also found that Al Jolson did a version in the 1920s.
