TVB might have decided to use it as BGM for a scene in one or more of its series after-the-fact, but the song wasn't originally written or recorded for use in a TV soundtrack. It was written specifically as a vehicle for Annabelle Lui and became not only her biggest (and ultimately, career-defining) hit, but one of the biggest Cantopop hits of all time.
Still, it was not meant to be used as a TV series theme or subtheme, so its use in a TV series was after-the-fact.
OMG, someone actually have the full version.
Ken, is 汪明荃 the title of the song?
Oh of course, stupid me. I even wrote in my previous post.
Is the title somewhere below?
TVB電視劇《楚留香之蝙蝠傳奇》插曲
English: The New Adventures of Chor Lau Heung
首播:1984年11月12日 8:30pm 無綫電視翡翠台
插曲提供:華星娛樂有限公司
作曲:趙文海
填詞:鄧偉雄
主唱:汪明荃
踏上高處 多少風雨 為何要今朝獨處
哭笑聲不再復見 情感心內儲
在眼底裡 多少關注 難忘卻空山夜雨
風雨中挑燈共語 長記心深處
* 情和恨 涕淚歡娛 問世間哪個作主
誰說愛海原是飄渺 情若醉休說痴
獨怕高處 凄風苦雨 難留得歡欣暫駐
# 只有把多少舊愛 全留於心深處
Repeat*##
The song title is 情到浓时休说痴词. I've looked it up on baidu.com found a Barbara Yung forum thread discussing the song and fan - music video here.

BTW, I found this lady playing a song on the guzheng from The Foundation:
不裝飾你的夢
and here's Terence Choi's Karaoke MV of the song
I think I might need to rewatch The Foundation because I don't remember this song. I remember the main theme song more.
I miss all these themesongs with traditional Chinese instrumentals and lyrics.

if you have the time and enthusiasm, please join in on the new and fabulous wuxia rpg fic /rpg discussion. (<--- click here)
Very nice, although it doesn't ring a bell at all.. although the first couple lines are slightly familiar. And I thought I knew almost all the 80s wuxia songs!! =)

The main song was pretty good as well. Maybe it's because of the scenes at the themesong which makes it feel great (something abut Austin Wai, all decked out in vampiric black and red, drinking sadly and forlornly in the white snow really does it for me. CLH 84 also had the hottest Water Matriarch ever, probably the hottest TVB wuxia character in the 80s, shame she had no lines and only lasted a minute or so). Wish TVB wouldn't force us all to remove the wuxia themesongs we post on Youtube (and yet allow the Foon Lok Kum Siew clips).

i thought ROCH 95 theme song is really good though i dont understand a word of the song. but i always listen to it.
Ohh, so you knew who I was talking about immediately when I mentioned the hot girl? =) Yes, she was Water Matriarch, played by an actress I don't even know - she played Kent Tong's girlfriend in Yesterday's Glitter, but I don't recall seeing her again. Maybe it's the latex suit I'd recognise rather than the face =)
The Nun was Shi Guanyin, or the Stone Goddess. The first monk, played by Lau Dan, was Wuhua. Kind of like saying it takes over from the Adam version, where Wuhua and Shi Guanyin were the main villains (Water Matriarch wasn't particularly friendly either, but I kind of saw her more as a victim too, rather than an antagonist), and now they're all dead. Although Chu Liuxiang didn't kill Matriarch in the Adam version, not sure about the novel - she was killed by Wuhua and Jiangnan Yan. CLH 84 also has a full set of his three flunkies on the boat with him, so it's probably not really a sequel since Rongrong died in the Adam version (what happened to Hongxiu, by the way?).
Well, between the two ladies that appeared in the intro, I doubt you would find that psychotic laughing lady attractive, so it must be the other lady resting by a pool of water. So yes, hot girl, I presume.
I've seen Adam's CLH after I had seen Michael Miu's. I watched Adam's version on a very bad VHS quality tape eons ago, but couldn't remember the storyline. As for which series, I don't remember.
Thanks for answering. I know at least who Wu Hua was. Just never knew who those ladies were in all the years that I've watched and rewatched the series.
