Re: Vague question about background music; but i'm sure someone will know.

I’m watching Double Shock and the music that I think you’re asking about is playing during the scene where the uncle is murdered.

The song i'm talking about is playing at the restaurant when Dudek and Clayton are playing chess.

In the episode, "The Most Crucial Game," Columbo goes to Eric Wagner's house while they are setting up the flowers. Paul Hanlon and Walter Cunnell are there. In the background the concert music that Alex Benedict was conducting in "Etude in Black," is playing. That is when Columbo figures out the house was bugged by the static in the radio. Just another example of background music that is repeated in several episodes.

Interesting, i'll have to check that out. I knew there were a couple more instances than the song i'm referring to. Maybe Universal or any studio was able to get the rights to certain songs inexpensively.
