This was the opening employed by “Days of Our Lives” from 1972 by means of 1993. The only change from the beginning was the removal of the “Copyright 1972 Corday Productions” subtitle, which was removed weeks ahead of this recording was created in 1985. It’s type of tough to see in this MP4, but careful observation reveals a slight line — midway up the mound of hourglass sand soon after the appearance of the title — which reveals the duplication of a couple of lines of video above and below the original copyright info in order to cover over it. Possibly a lot more noticeable is the freeze of the wooden sections of the glass — captured, frozen and overlaid into location to the end from just ahead of the appearance of the title.
Video Rating: 4 / five

why does this opening seem more realistic than the new one, in the new one the hour glass looks so fake, i thought they would make it looks nicer these days.
@nopathtofollow1 Das Racist.
Techniqually the days of our lives intro is still the same same hourglass and everything its just more colorful and smoothed out and it doesnt say who says it. But I like the old ones better.
Talk shit at this part? How about like the wooooorld didn’t see it coming!
Haven’t heard that in YEARS!
How the world has changed…..
i used be scared of this opening when i was little. doesn’t bother me anymore.
I miss this show. I rmb when I was young I hated it when my parents switched the channel to watch this. But now I like this
@jajvick me too
I remember the themes to “Days of our Lives,” “All My Children.” and “The Price is Right.” since kindergarten.
This reminds me of being home from school, sick…otherwise, I never saw daytime TV after I turned 5. What I would not give to go back to the late 60′s-early 70′s! My biggest worry was “would I be well enough to go to my friend’s birthday party?” Those were the days. Adulthood sucks!
Whoever disliked this video doesn’t care for the old days of sands running through that hourglass…
I love this opening, these new soap openings can kiss my ass!
Honestly I don’t remember if my mom watched this or not. But I’ll tell you this much: This is one of my favorites! I heard the new shortened version..Hated it!
This reminds me of my childhood wow! makes me miss my grandma she watched this everyday!
ah i just love this
This takes me back to my childhood. Very haunting to hear it now.
I remember hearing the opening chimes when my daycare provider was preparing lunch in the 80′s. You just knew something great would follow the intro: a great show.
dust
wind
dude
Like sand in your underpants, so are the days of our lives
@jajvick Me also.
dont know why but i find this old intro very creepy
I remember this music, i think back to when I was a child and my mom and aunt
sitting together watching this! and they would drink tea
@jajvick even though I was born in 1990 this is the theme I most remember. Whenever I hear Days of Our Lives I hear that theme song. It’s a simple yet beautiful and pleasant intro song.
Thanks so much for sharing this and great details regarding the copyright detail. This is indeed a ghost from childhood!
love this
