Theme tune


Why was the theme tune changed after the first series? Its really annoying me that i can't remember how it goes! - i watched some re runs a year or so ago of the 1st series and they completely cut the opening credits. I was so annoyed as i still didn't get to hear how it went!
I can think of the other theme tune you know "Hang time, running together, puttin it on the line etc etc etc!" Please some tell me how it goes - even if it's just the lyrics as hopefully then i'd remember the tune!

Thanks so much

I taped this on to a cassette a long time ago, from the videos I have, along with all my California Dreams songs, and also the songs that they sung in SBTB/SBTBTNC.
But here are the two versions of the HT theme songs.

Season 1.
Taking my shot, I'll give it all I got now. Throwing the old rule book away, turning tomorrow into today. Running with this dream, moving with this feeling. Closer to the edge with every step I take. Got some hang time with these friends of mine. Believing in the world I'm in. Running with this dream. Hang Time. Running with this dream. Hang Time!

Season 2 onwards.
Hang Time, running together, putting in on the line. Hang Time, jamming forever. Taking it all for Hang Time. We're hot, we're in the zone. Part of the team never alone. Hang Time. Hanging together, sharing a dream so fine. I'll always remember, me and my friends at Hang Time. Me and my friends at Hang Time!

Honestly I don't know why they changed the theme, but I kind of like both of them, and I think the first one was suited to the first season, and I couldn't see it working on the second season and all those after. I kind of wish they kept the original concept of the show, the whole first season playing out over the next couple of seasons. But I guess because it was taken over by Peter Engle and became one of the shows on the TNBC line up, they felt it was necessary to change the premise of the show, to make it more of that youth orenitated line up. Which probably also explains why the cast seemed to change every season, as it also seemed to do on every other TNBC show around that time.

Anyway hope this clears it up for you. And maybe one day we might even see it again, when it is *fingers crossed* released on DVD.

Hang Time was originally conceived by Mark Fink, who was also responsible for Full House. And as much as I liked all of the Hang Time seasons, I liked the first one the best, because it was simply different then the other shows that Peter Engle did, and at the time it wasn't one of his. Didn't become a part of the TNBC lineup until the second season. I remember seeing an advert in one of the magazines from the US, and it had the SBTBTNC, CD and HT casts on it.

Did Celine Dion really sing a theme song for USA High?? I've never heard anything about that one!!
