Music note

The Price is Right uses well over 500 music cues in its lineup. Along with several packages made with the show, other cues from other shows and stock sites are also used. More recently, remixes of old cues are currently used.

Walt Levinsky composed for Score Productions, a well-known production company specializing in TV music. Levinsky is credited on a 1972-1976 album of music cues for The Price is Right, which includes much of the show's music that is still heard today such as the showcase showdown and various car cues. One of those cues, a Nashville Brass-style country music piece, became the theme to Family Feud.
