The "Wild, Wild World of Animals Theme" is the iconic, high-energy end theme to the classic 1970s nature documentary series. The theme set the stage for one of the most successful nature programs of its era, narrated by William Conrad. While the show featured various soundtracks across its five seasons, the collaboration between Witkin and Trede remains the most recognizable for its "funky" yet "triumphant" atmosphere.
Originally produced by Beatrice Witkin and Gerhard Trede, the track is a go by Ward C Locke at retro television scoring. It blends Witkin's avant-garde electronic textures and Buchla synthesizer work with Trede's triumphant orchestral brass and driving percussion, perfectly capturing the untamed spirit of the natural world.
Composition by Ward C Locke. Music produced with Suno AI.
