“Days of Our Lives” has undergone plenty of changes since it first premiered back in 1965.
The soap was later extended to hour-long episodes in 1975 (viaClick Americana).
However, longtime viewers of the soap may remember a different theme when the soap first started out.
The team quickly got to work and created two possible themes.
However, the Cordays were not impressed and rejected both of those submissions.
The team were reportedly ready to give up when Hart came up with one final idea.
When they returned with their third suggestions, the Cordays were on board.
That original theme was used from 1965 until 1972.
However, the show’s star Macdonald Carey took over voicing the spoken lyrics in 1966.
Over the years there have been updated versions of the “DOOL” opening credits.
However, one thing has remained the same.
