Theme: "Bouquet of Roses"

    [Although on his radio series, Eddy Arnold had used "The
     Cattle Call" as his yodeling theme song (written in 1934), he
     chose a different theme to use on this 1955 Television Series.
     
     This was also one of Arnold's biggest hit songs, written in
     1948; It served him well, selling millions of copies. It has
     been recorded by over two dozen artists since Arnold sung it,
     including Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Marty Robbins.
     
     It begins with bittersweet lyrics, "I'm sending you a big
     Bouquet of Roses, one for ev'ry time you broke my heart..."
     Ironically, despite it's country flavor, the two writers were
     members of ASCAP, not BMI who usually represent country songs.
