Okay, is it just me (and everyone else I've mentioned this to), but does the beginning and end of the overture for THE COLOR PURPLE sound like something they play as the winner of an award is walking towards the stage to accept their Daytime Emmy award or something?

Yes, it does sound like that a lot. But than it segs quickly into WHAT ABOUT LOVE?
But in a way, that makes sense. The music that is played comes from the end of the act, when Nettie returns. If you see where my corny path is leading...
I am happy they added the overture, I enjoy it. It gives the music a raw sound compared to what is ACTUALLY played. I feel, though, they should have left some things out - like the underscoring from when Mister and Harpo talk (after Shug's arrival).
The smallest stream is a valent river. It will drown me if it can.
I didn't say it's a bad overture. I enjoy most of the music from THE COLOR PURPLE.
BSO - I'm talking about the WHAT ABOUT LOVE and THE COLOR PURPLE themes that they play. Not the first few seconds of the overture...when they go into those two songs.

You're lost? When they play "What About Love" and then after "Push Da Button" turns into "The Color Purple" theme. The very slow, grand, plodding-ness of it.

When a winner of an award (Oscar, GG, whatever) they play theme music from that show or movie. It sounds like some generic theme song. I used the daytime Emmy's as an example, because it awards soap operas and I thought it would be a nice, borderline-tacky example.
