Help with name of old song

[edit]

I can't remember the name. It is a guys name and "song". I think it was the theme to an old TV show or radio show. I keep thinking it's Brian's Song but obviously that was a movie not a song.

I posted this using my phone so sorry if the formatting is messed up.KevinTR (talk) 02:09, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing obvious coming up, I'm afraid. Possibly Danny's Song? This site and this user page might be useful places to look for inspiration. Tevildo (talk) 22:23, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Best that I can do: "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"? More seriously: Here's a list of songs with male names in their title. 59 of them match "'s song" plus a couple more for "'s tune", "'s melody", etc. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What about The Harry Lime Theme - aka The Third Man Theme - which was used as the theme tune to The Adventures of Harry Lime, a radio drama series made in 1951/1952.

Brian's Song was both a movie and a song. The TV movie's theme song was recorded as an instrumental by its composer Michel Legrand with the title Brian's Song. The same song has the title The Hands of Time when performed with its lyrics (by Marilyn and Alan Bergman). ReverendWayne (talk) 01:20, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
