On the various soap opera forums I used to post on (RIP AMC and OLTL 
) this hilarious opening song video was always a fave. I only recently learned Schwartz wrote it (and here I wondered how he spent the 1980s--apparently a lot of coke was involved). Anyone know the singer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WemmnUZSyRw

well that was truly weird as hell. how can I get that 7 minutes back?? lol. their hair was insane. I've also wondered what the heck Schwartz was up to in the 80's, but clearly I wasn't missing out.

I think "Epic" is a stretch, it just goes on and on!! Of course I was not watching soaps in 1988 so I'm sure any jokes and references were lost.
The song sounds like a store brand of those very very 80's Maltby & Shire anthems like from BABY or CLOSER THAN EVER.

"Epic" means very long!

Anyone know who is playing the reporter? (poor woman had to sing centre stage, surrounded by all those soap stars!)
