The Paramount Fanfare & March
Nov 21 2008, 12:10 PM EST
Does anyone remember the ten-note fanfare that Paramount used at the opening of its newsreels? This music can also be heard at the start of "War Of The Worlds", "Roman Holiday" and some Max Fleicsher cartoons? Also, can anyone recall The Paramount March,aka "Paramount On Parade" that can also be heard in the newsreels & in the cartoon "Betty Boop's May Party"?

Yes, and in fact the music you are talking about (the 10-note theme) was composed by film composer Leith Stevens, who also wrote the score for "War of the Worlds" (1953).

Leith Stevens was also known to have composed the 1968 Paramount Television jingle (the one used for the Split Box logo with the gold background).

Although, the "Paramount on Parade" theme is also heard in the 1987 FP logo. I think TheBigTubeAnim and ParamountFPcreepy! are scared of the logo and possibly its fanfare.
