    The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits", was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs. Also, because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway.

      Steve Stalzle That's the way I heard the story, as well. The lyrics weren't written, but they liked it just the way it was. Similar story with Bachman Turner Overdrive's song, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. They considered the cut a demo and decided to have some fun with their manager, who stuttered. The manager loved it and insisted they leave the stutters in.

      I'd always thought it was a satire on rock singers. Thanks for the confirmation. My mother used to tell a joke when I'd be listening to my radio: "That producer is going to be angry. 'I understood a word! I'm going to send you back to Mitch Miller!" What makes this great is that it's one of the best rock tunes ever!

Plus it was an Emmy winner (for the "Turkeys Away!" episode), and it made stars out of the entire cast (at least while it aired).

    This is how most rock music sounded to my parents. They were the kind who loved that '50s rock and roll in its time (both were born in '38), but then tuned rock out in the Beatles era.

    Stitched together from the shows of the first season. (The very early ones are in blue, mostly with character names beneath them.) This includes BOTH Mrs. Carlsons (Sylvia Sidney in the pilot, Carol Bruce from January 1979, when the show returned from a two-month hiatus).

    This always reminded me of Bob Seger, musically, like something that could have been on Night Moves or Stranger In Town...one fun thing about WKRP is trying to spy the posters on the walls in the studio that varied from show to show.
