Question Of The Day - October 20,2008
Name the signature tune of this famous duo?[1 Points]

ANSWER:-

The Cuckoo Song: Laurel and Hardy's famous signature tune, known as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", "Dance Of The Cuckoos", or "The Waltz of the Cuckoos", was composed by Hal Roach Studios musical director Marvin Hatley as the on-the-hour chime for the studio radio station. Laurel heard the tune on the station and asked Hatley to use it as the Laurel and Hardy theme song. Laurel believed the song's main melody represented Oliver Hardy's character (pompus and dramatic), while the harmony represented Laurel's own character (somewhat out of key, and only able to register two notes: "coo-coo"). The original theme, recorded by two clarinets in 1930, was re-recorded with a full orchestra in 1935.
