Just watched a re-run of "The Doctor Is Out" episode. At one point Niles
comes into Bad Billy's gay bar to see if Frasier has found Barry yet. Loud
music is playing and Niles is in a hurry to leave so shouts at Frasier "I'm
begging you, please take me home!".

At this point the music suddenly stops so that everyone in the bar looks at
them. Niles tries to explain - "You see, actually, he and I are..." at which
point another loud dance number starts up, drowning him out.

I need to know the name of this song ! Can anyone help, or does anyone know
where to look ?

Thanks ! ! !

I'm only guessing, but it was probably something composed by the show's
resident composer, Bruce Miller.

Copyright clearances tend to me more expensive, unless the show
regularly uses a lot of new music by unknown performers (eg, Showtime's
"Queer As Folk", which has music consultants who are constantly checking
new CDs world-wide for "QAF"'s frequent club/party/orgy [!] scenes).

I had wondered about Mancini-like music for "The Maris Counsellor" back
in S5 and phoned production to enquire (NBC gave me the number at
Paramount), and was told it was by Mr. Miller.

Perhaps if David Lee is still lurking here he has more info.

Hey manitou !! Thanks for the info. You think it was probably composed for
the show. Could be I guess - but the track sounded almost too good and
polished to be made just for the show, especially since we only heard about
3 seconds of it !!

If it was by Mr Miller, I wonder if he composed the full song or just that
segment. I'll watch out for David Miller !!

Perhaps the producers will create a new sitcom about a group of straight
friends who are constantly being hit on by gays who don't realize
they're straight.

As a secondary device, they could have regular guest appearances by Brit
friends with bogus UK accents.

I can already hear Paul crashing on his fainting couch every week.

Did I tell you of the time that happened to me? I was flattered (but
not gay)

You mean it only happened once...?

When I was young and cute *everyone* hit on me (even a very famous
Brit/H'wood actor I'd interviewed earlier that day [phoned circa
midnight when I was already in bed and had taken placidyl; apparently an
indiscreet publicist had provided my phone number...]).

And I sadistically rejected them.
