toneknob Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Rupert Bear tv theme... cracking bassline here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaC2K34SLhc (Singer Jacky Lee also sang the equally brilliant White Horses theme, and early episodes of Pipkins - then known as Inigo Pipkin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1434743489' post='2802506'] I always at some point in any given rehearsal even for just a tiny bit play the Jaws riff, Sweeney and The Professionals. [/quote] like those, been so many great ones in this thread. I'll add Minder, I always thought it sounded Chas and Dave [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ohUHIjAxI[/media] and Dr Snuggles always makes me feel good for some reason.

Count Bassy Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've always thought that the Dallas theme tune was a cracking piece of music. Also, I'll second Rhubarb and Custard - occasionally play it on my concertina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev b Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 My first proper band in the 70's had Hammond, a new fangled polyphonic synth with "strings" and a real brass section. We did loads of TV and Film Themes as they went down really well with the audiences. Shaft, Hawaii 5-0, Six Million Dollar Man, Charlies Angels, Summer of 42 Biddu arr., Muppet Show Theme, Monty Python Theme, Exodus, The Avengers, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Shadow of your Smile etc. Really enjoyable tunes to play especially as the composition/arrangements were by people such as John Barry, Michel LeGrand, and Lalo Schifrin and recorded by top session players. I miss those days, playing 5 nights a week plus Sunday lunchtimes, how times have changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswareham Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Theme from World At War. Walked on stage to this at one gig and proceeeded to play the most agressive set I've ever done.

Plus throw in the Monday lunch times 'Lovely Jubbly club', or packing up as quick as you could and go and do a gig in a late night hostess club in the West End...lol..

Bilbo Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Movies Howard Shore – Lord of the Rings Trilogy Pat Metheny – A Map Of The World Javier Navarette – Pan’s Labyrinth Schindler’s List TV Bill Conti’s Theme From Cagney and Lacey. Great lines Mr Benn – A Don Warren (Duncan Lamont) composition that featured UK Jazz/session legends like Kenny Wheeler, Ken Baldock and Ray Swinfield (the musicians are featured on the Mr. Benn credits; how rare is that?) Noggin The Nog – a solo bassoon thing by Vernon Eliot. I loved it long before I had the faintest idea what was required to make it happen!

Vinny Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 My vote goes here, I always thought it should have been used for a more 'Starsky & Hutch'-type show.
