UptownDanRam's video: VH1 CardioVideo Opening

Credit for this theme music go to composer Salvatore Poe: http://www.salvadorepoemusic.com/ This clip was the opening to VH1's old "CardioVideo" morning music video block. "CardioVideo", which typically ran from 6AM-8AM, had a slight emphasis on high-energy, adrenaline-pumping artists and music videos (so to speak), the purpose of which I assume was to appeal to and "wake up" groggy morning viewers. For the most part however, it was your run-of-the-mill block of the latest and most popular artists(of the time) and their music videos. If anything, the "high-energy" concept is most present in the block's funky, ultra-eccentric opening. "CardioVideo" presumably ran between the mid-to-late 1990's up until around 2003-3004. Near the end of its life, around 2003, the block received a drab, utilitarian make-over which stripped it of its eclectic opening and accompanying commercial bumpers, which were the only things that distinguished it from any other music video blocks. "CardioVideo"'s overnight counterpart, "Insomniac Music Theatre" also received a similar make-over around the same time (the purpose of both I assume were to remove all references to the old VH1 "1" logo), but at least got to keep portions of its equally unique opening and bumpers. Not too long after the makeover, "CardioVideo" was supplanted and replaced by "Jump Start", which still airs as VH1's morning music video block, albeit with a longer timeslot than "CardioVideo" (typically 6AM-10AM). Enjoy!
