The Bus Boys Return, vowing not to miss opportunities such as their 48HRS. success. Ask the Bus Boys. But despite appearing in and contributing the theme song, The Boys Are Back in Town, to Mur phy s 1982 screen debut in 48 HRS., big-time success never arrived. One key reason was that a soundtrack album was never re leased, so the Bus Boys lost any chance of charting a hit single from a hit movie.
People always say, Oh yeah, that was on the soundtrack album.
But there was no soundtrack album. That movie plays 10 times a day some where in America, he said with glee. It generates both continued exposure for the band and, more tangibly, royalties on the song that allows me to have a fruitful career to come back to now. O Neal has writ ten since becoming the father of twin boys three years ago. The completed album is slated for release in March.
