This same reasoning might explain why I heard The Reaper used in a
commercial to promote the Mork and Mindy "behind the scenes movie of the
week" on NBC.  The riff was surely Reaper, but the vocals and guitar fills
(like the one before"like romeo and juliet) were differently mixed --- the
latter sounded Boston-ly double tracked.
