RIP. The composer of this music died today aged 50. Matthew Strachan wrote about 100 versions of the melodies to fit with every possibility on the actual show. The music MADE the show work! RIP
I read the news about the production house (Celador) .. The game designer was written this game on a rough paper only. But it is a real successful game in worldwide
The series music was done by both Keith Strachan and his son Matthew. Bizarrely, the 2007 remix is still used internationally. The U.S version used different music and the original UK version restored the classic music when Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson took over on WWTBAM's 20th Anniversary series in 2018. Atleast Sony seem to still care about the series in it's own right for being a British-based international show.
I've read the interview with the composer Matthew Strachan. He said that that the studio brought him and his dad Keith to help with the WWTAM pilot that was such a disaster, that the producers knew that they need to scrap everything and redo the whole thing from the scratch. The pilot was made by old standards like your 80s game shows and they were in need of a kick ass soundtrack and boy oh boy the father-son duo delivered just that.
I hope dad and dearly-departed son had a good royalty agreement on that. This music was used across the world, on tv and theme park rides and video games and was sampled in Squid Game and used in-universe for Slumdog Millionaire and Quiz
Come to think of it, without the overall presentation, WWTAM would be just a trivia multiple-choice game show with a particularly big grand prize at the time. They have to put the emphasis on participating in the game being a life-changing event. Sit on that chair, and you'll never be the same again. And the music probably single-handedly makes it all work.
shafi chowdhury I agree he’s the real host of who wants to be a millionaire. Meredith and jimmy kimmel don’t host it as good as he did My favorite like he always said was is that your final answer
And you know what the best part is there is a PlayStation 1 Who Wants to be a Millionaire game so you can listen to both awesome themes whenever you want
This song is called “Is That Your Final Answer - Radio Edit” and there is a club mix. I actually don’t think Strachan is responsible for the song in this particular video. The single that it was released from is credited to Amoure which is a different British composer named Nick Magnus
@@wristowwYou're correct, this track is remixed from Keith and Matthew's music but the remix was done by Magnus, for the purposes of radio and CD single release.
@@stevengruner4885 it was still 1 million if I’m not mistaken Also since it was a USA version you ended up with a lot less money after tax. For example if you play who wants to be a millionaire in the UK, you’d walk away with $1.3m. But, if you played in the USA, you’d win around $700k which is £536k. So, unbelievably, if you played who wants to be a millionaire as a Brit in the USA, you’d end up with HALF the money. But if you are an American playing in Britain, you would end up with an extra $600k. Crazy
This theme is classic! Grew up to it! I actually played this on my way to work today because this sounded like a track to listen to on when you're trying to beat the time on something and to see if I can make it there before this song was over. Work was 8 minutes away, so i played this 2x and i just made it at the 7 min mark with 5 seconds to spare.
@@Walterwhiteskull Yes but you couldn't get onto the internet in 2002 without going to your huge beast of a desktop PC in the study that took around 1 hour to dial into the internet... impossible to do that and sit on the sofa and watch WWTBAM at the same time..
oh my gosh I hadn't heard this in a long time until today it suddenly came back to my mind. I remember waching this show as a little kid in the early 2000s on abc via the old analog tv signal now a by gone era. thanks for uploading.

A turbulent life but regardless - an iconic quiz theme that has brought hours of fun and excitement to Television. Cheers Matthew. So young as well - live life folks. RIP.
Honestly the world needs this show back. It provides great knowledge and insights for its audience, and you could actually learn many things from the questions.
@@r4h4al It did, and it had a brief revival here in the US with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel as host. That revival was all celebrities and/or frontline workers in the midst of COVID-19, however.
Sounds like something that should be in Metroid, especially with the male choir. lol I never knew how epic this theme is, it definitely went over my head as a kid 😂
One of if not my favourite game shows and theme musics. It's crazy how people study for this where it would be next to impossible on where to focus on. This game is more if you're all around knowledgeable but damn, wish I had a chance to be on this. Bring back Canadian Millionaire!!
Excuse me but.... whoever composed this, why is he/she not composing something for other media?! I mean, if this their best effort to make a game show theme, imagine to something bigger.
They are Keith and Matthew Strachan, dad and his son. They also composed for other things, like Question Time and Winning Lines for the BBC, and Britain's Brainiest Kid and The People Versus, for ITV.
They got put in a very prestigious musician hall of fame due to this theme (not even joking), and got millions of pounds from the theme being reused in different versions of the show, so they already got a lot from this
I used to work out to the song, and now that Regis has been lifted to the heavens, I can now carry out the prophecy. I shall now play this as my alarm ringtone in his honor. Rest in peace, Regis
1:43 reminds me of a theme song to a super hero movie. Like they do some sweet tricks til at the end theyre on top of a building with their symbol shining on the night sky. kinda like batman.
It's gonna feel weird for me to say this, but I really miss older gameshows like this that had an epic, intimidating and oppressive atmosphere. It's a standard quiz show, but the music makes it feel like the contestants were at the mercy of an evil mastermind where one wrong answer could lead to eternal damnation.
@@DeadlyV1RU5 I never thought TWL had any tension because I always found it BS no matter how many episodes it has. Every time, people vote out strong links as competition and barely make any money. Only the winner wins anything so it paid out far less per episode than TWL. It's understandable as a BBC license fee show but then it seems like fake stakes. And in the US I just felt like it was a stingy attempt to topple WWTBAM without paying out as much. (In retrospect US WWTBAM almost feels socialist with how much money they were giving out at one point. The questions were so easy and they did so many episodes they were giving out millions a week. It feels like a different US watching it now, like it is the epitome "pre-9/11" show in its US incarnation) TWL just felt like a lot of bluster to me. Same with the Chase and its Chasers.
“So, you want to be a millionaire?” *jumps down into the area, unsheathing a sword* “Prove it.” *the spirits of failed contestant begin singing the chorus*
I can't be the only one who thinks this sounds like it could fit in Perfect Dark. Sounds like an epic final boss theme, or at least the theme for a major battle.
