Editing Nadia Comăneci (section)

====="Nadia's Theme"=====
"[[Nadia's Theme]]" refers to an instrumental piece that became linked to Comăneci shortly after the 1976 Olympics. It was part of the musical score of the 1971 film ''[[Bless the Beasts and Children (film)|Bless the Beasts and Children]]'' and originally titled "Cotton's Dream". It was also used as the title theme music for the American soap opera ''[[The Young and the Restless]]''.

[[Robert Riger]] used it in association with slow-motion montages of Comăneci on the television program ''[[Wide World of Sports (U.S. TV series)|ABC's Wide World Of Sports]]''. The song became a top-10 single in the fall of 1976, and composers [[Barry De Vorzon]] and [[Perry Botkin Jr.]] renamed it as "Nadia's Theme" in Comăneci's honor.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080131081004/http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/profiles/bio_uk.asp?PAR_I_ID=44503 "Nadia Comăneci: The Perfect 10"] International Olympic Committee (IOC) website</ref> Comăneci never performed to "Nadia's Theme", however. Her floor exercise music was a medley of the songs "[[Yes Sir, That's My Baby (song)|Yes Sir, That's My Baby]]" and "[[Jump in the Line]]", arranged for piano.<ref name=si />
