I can still hear that theme song, along with the anthemic “click-click” finger snap at the end of the title phrase.
there must be thousands of boomers doing that night now..
When someone mentions 77 Sunset Strip, I'll bet every person of a certain age has the theme run through their heads and then click their fingers.
Some years ago I was watching a documentary on tv about early cop shows, and someone mentioned the show. I started singing the theme out loud, and when I got to the part where they click their fingers, my wife clicked hers. She grew up in England where the show was popular in syndication.
