Silver Spoons Theme Song

The Silver Spoons theme song, Together, was written by Rik Howard and Bob Wirth.

There were three versions:

The original

The 1985 synthesized version. This one is the worst. It just sounds terrible in my opinion. Instead of an actual clip of the intro, I thought it might be more appropriate to show this cheesy Ricky Schroder tribute video that uses the song. I like how we spend the whole video speeding through a starfield. It makes it more exciting.

The 1986 rock version with vocals by The Archies’ alumni Ron Dante

Alien Head

Here’s a collection of 60 images including behind the scenes photos and promotional material from the production of Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). I found many of these on Dennis Lowe’s website. He was one the film’s special effects technicians. I highly recommend checking out his site if you’re an Alien fan.
