I've always been very fond of the Family Guy soundtrack. Despite the crassness of his content, Seth MacFarlane has always had an affinity for very classy tunes.
I’ve always loved the music in Family Guy, even as a kid watching it at night to fall asleep. I don’t watch it as much, but when I see a clip the music always stands out. It’s so weird to combine crude humor with music this heavenly haha.
Family Guy - a series that is sometimes as vulgar as clever! You can say what you want, but the pretty serious written music by Walter Murphy (A Fifth of Beethoven) and Ron Jones (Superman - The Animated Series) is much fun to just listen to and to get surprised by fast tempo and rhythmic changes, anytime. Enjoy!
I wish Walter Murphy would do some music scores for movies more, because his music on Family Guy is excellent. It reminds me of Elmer Bernstein’s music. If Walter does more movie scores, he would be the Elmer Bernstein of Modern Cinema.
Love this video, the music has surprisingly helped me relax, wish it was much longer though. Too bad the newer Family Guy episodes have shifted away from using this genre of music :(
the music, is jut really talented. A lot of it uses the family guy motif and turns it into so many different ideas. Huge talent Walter Murphy is. Love the music as much as the comedy. I do not find much american comedy funny if any but family guy and Seth Macfarlane and working with Walter Murphy produce some top quality american comedy!!!!
What is the song like the end of the LET'S GO TO THE HOP beetwen? 4:37 - 4:46 I search the tipe of these oldschool rockabilly musics so many year and i dont find it.
3:38 Ace Frehley: “But Mrs. Claus, who would kidnap Santa?” Mrs. Claus: “Well, Ace, that’s what I want you boys to find out.” Gene Simmons: “Someone stole Santa? That does NOT ROCK!” Paul Stanley: “Easy, Gene! Guys, let’s go save Christmas. To the KISS Copter!” All: “YAAAAAYY!”
Since the season 19 premiere last week, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Murphy feels concerned for the orchestra players and is unlikely to compose the orchestral score without putting the players at risk of infection. So starting last week, he reuses orchestral elements from the previous last episodes, while he creates newer music by computer programming at home. Same thing when he did new episodes of American Dad!
I honestly though no one would comment about it and it will be "unrealizeable". Although computered-orchestra sounds horribly different than a real one, I think Murphy does a great job dealing with this and the musical cues sound decent. What about Joel McNeely? I realized a few realistic-sounding instruments in the last few episodes of season 17 of American Dad! Are the instruments recorded at home separately?
@@YoniRottner I don't know. Maybe, but even during this situation, McNeely still decided to keep his own score orchestral as it is, while maybe obeying social distancing. And you're right, Murphy did an excellent job with that.
Chances are noone will read this because it's obscure af, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Does anyone know where to find the full version of the track that is played in all of the Chicken/Homer fights? I believe on an official soundtrack it's title is "Da Boom" (The name of the episode it's from), there are a few versions out there but they're either not the full version, in low quality, or both. Surely I can't be the only one who's wondering, or maybe I am and noone's gonna respond.
Hello Scott, thanks to your specific comment (featuring the name of the episode) one might can help you! First, the music you hear here in the video was taken from the only CD that is out, featuring original incidental tracks(, yet!). Second, it indeed features a track called "Da Boom" (track 10, about 1:31 min. running time). It seems to be your chicken-fight-music. On the website of the label you can listen to it for a few seconds, maybe it is enough for you to make a result. Anyway, this should be it: lalalandrecords.com/family-guy/
Take a look into the description and you will find an answer to your question. Unfortunately you can't purchase it anymore on the original website. I guess because the CD is sold out now. Best! Fred
This whole show is literal cancer--as an 8 year old, I thought this show was for kids since it was a cartoon but i kid you not, the soundtrack and A Charlie Brown Christmas introduced me to one of my fav music genre, Jazz
A lot of it is big band, but there’s a range of styles here. Some emulates 50s light music, some is closer to 70s/80s tv soundtracks, some is more like 70s easy listening.
