I was part of the 6 man team that created this entire fabricated model city. My task as the artist was to paint every building, every rooftop, all of the weathering, and every street and surface. I used acrylics, and it took 4 months, six days a week! It was so much fun, my brother was also on the team, and all were seasoned modelmakers from the toy industry. It's so nice to find this clear Hi Res version. Our goal was to make it as realistic as we could, and there is still so much detail the camera didn't see! I'm glad people still dig it! For some crazy reason the only music we listened to was Wagner!

I was born in 1978, this intro IS my childhood.....when you saw it, you knew it was going to be an awesome night (i.e. mom and dad let you stay up and watch HBO on Saturday night).

I remember listening to this theme as a kid! HBO has been using this theme for a long, I mean, a long time! I was born in the 90s! Love the instrumentation. Love you HBO!

This is from the promotional CD. Rare indeed!

Oh, I finally found it. Ever since I found the instrument version with the lyrics in the comments on KZread, I HAD to hear this! It's even groovier than I imagined. I'm far to young to have this be part of my childhood, love it nonetheless!

That intro music takes me back to my teenage years.

It sounds like something I would hear at a mall in the 80s

This is an invitation To step inside your mind Some mental stimulation Drawn from the other side Anyone who has a fantasy Come with me, come with me We're crossing over to a place in time It's a place that you find Hidden deep in your mind This is an invitation To step inside your mind Anyone who has a fantasy Come with me, come with me Anyone who has a fantasy Come with me, come with me We're crossing over to a place in time It's a place that you find Hidden deep in your mind (In your mind) Fantasy, ooh-ooh It's a fantasy Fantasy, ooh-ooh It's a fantasy Fantasy, ooh-ooh It's a fantasy Fantasy, ooh-ooh It's a fantasy *guitar/sax solo* Ohhh! Wait a minute! What time is it? Come in here and sing! Come on! *laughing* Anyone who has a fantasy Come with me, come with me Anyone who has a fantasy Come with me, come with me Anyone who has a fantasy (This is an invitation) Come with me Anyone who has a fantasy (This is an invitation) (Come with me) Come with me, come with me

i love you

Of course, I'm familiar with the tune; we had HBO throughout my childhood in the '80s. I don't think I've ever heard the lyric version. Where is this from? Did HBO actually play this at some point?

This fanfare has lyrics and is groovier than I expected?!

The video is so clear. Was it on 3/4” tape?

Thank you. I am going to play this in its entirety anytime I watch a movie on HBOMax.

I loved this!!!!

Hard to believe we were discoing to this in Boston.

HBO logo so shiny 😍

Wow I love this song and hbo;)

Wow… thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories and good times. 💯

Damn, this took me back, truly appreciate this 💎(gem)..much appreciated.
