Count Basie Big Band "The Start Of Something Big"

The tune, "This Could Be The Start Of Something", is from the 1954 TV musical production "The Bachelor". Song and lyrics by comedian/writer Steve Allen. It was his most popular tune (he wrote lots of tunes) and he used it as a theme song for many years. He always said he got the ideas for this tune in his sleep.

"I dreamed the first main theme, up to the bridge, and dreamed the first seven or eight lines of the lyric, and thank goodness remembered them when I woke up and wrote them down."
