darkshine Report post Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Does anyone else just love the Tour De France program theme music? They play this little section when they put the titles up for adverts and stuff - I think it's cool.... And for those who never watch it - maybe there's other theme music or little bits of music on your favourite movies or programmes? My 3 favourites are without a doubt 1. Dr Who 2. Formula 1 3. Test Cricket (oddly enough mentioned the other day... called Soul Limbo) Speaking of music, has everyone heard the Muse track for the Olympics, I personally cannot stand it, they've completely sold out, it's flashy, egotistical, and sits right in the middle ground of hell - it's called Survival - if you watch it with the advert it doesn't seem so bad, and when they steal sections from it for showing clips, it probably won't be so bad either (the lyrics could work well for example like they did last Olympics with that KT Tunstall song for certain clips). But as a stand alone track I absolutely hate it... My favourite theme music sketch is from the Royal Family (the comedy show not the actual royal family) and they all sat there and sang to the Emmerdale theme music like they loved the show and then switched channel when the program started - it made me laugh cuz there's a few things I can think of where the theme music is the best thing.

Thanks for the details for the F1 song (I was lazy and didn't look it up) I've always liked it, even with the modernisations it's still a great song!

darkshine Report post Posted July 9, 2012 AS Warrior, I'm with you on Hollyoaks - and love the link for Question of Sport (although the version I will post in a minute was what I grew up with) but you lost me with the Power Rangers mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted July 9, 2012 'sleeping with the Enemy' had Brown- eyed Girl on it, and I'm a big Van fan, and 'Benny and Joon' had I Would Walk 500 Miles. Two films and two bits of music which had me entranced as a kid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mannify Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I can only do a Scottish accent when I'm singing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I can't ever do a Scottish accent But, I struggle to say "th" in words like 'thread' 'think' 'there' and 'three' when I speak, cuz what I say is: fred, fink, vere and free it causes confusion at times - especially when I talk about The Netherlands (which is a place that appeals) and everyone thinks I'm saying neverland and starts asking me about Peter Pan!!! For some strange reason I often manage to say it right when I sing - unfortunately I cannot sing very well so it doesn't really help that much... My worst nightmare is meeting people called names like: Matthew, Ruth, Katherine cuz the way I say those names sounds awful!! Especially roof Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I had to do an essay on Peter Pan earlier this year. I think fjords are infinitely preferable. (I'm back on the big computer, doing an essay). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted July 9, 2012 The book (Peter Pan) is different to the film (the Disney version) in a few ways isn't it? I should be revising, or making a revision plan at least but I'm too tired to think about social psychology right now - although part of my mind is considering what I want to do and how to do it - I just can't focus on lines and lines of text at this moment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matzoball Report post Posted July 9, 2012 Love the theme tune to New Girl - you can adapt it for your own name Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted July 9, 2012 To put it mildly!! And unfortunately that is only one of 4 approaches in the book, I just dislike that approach the most (the others are cognitive, phenomenological and social psychoanalytic) can't say I'm keen on the last one either!! Ah well... I often say I like a challenge, although it's starting to make me freak about the exam in October again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stopped watching it when David Tennant quit... the theme tune is still good though Re: the Doc Who. You'd be so impressed with the running commentary Jav gave me. Did it blow your mind i think we have another whats everybody listening too? type topic. neighboors 1992 theme I am never listening to that one - but are you putting it up cuz it's good or bad? And I guess it is a bit like "what's everyone listening to" except that isn't for theme tunes - but I guess if certain songs are from movies then there's some crossover - but I don't mind about that cuz it's only for a laugh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted July 10, 2012 Matzoball and Mannify - Just want to let you know that I'm not ignoring whatever you have posted - I am having issues with video at the moment - am waiting to see if this is a forum problem or something with my netbook... except nobody has answered yet as I didn't really post the question that long ago Is anyone else reading this post having this problem? If it's still ongoing later I'll boot up my pc and check to see if it works on there and then dig deeper on my netbook (if it is my netbook that is the problem) I've already done the most obvious checks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted July 12, 2012 I have video play ability back I really liked the chale chalo song And since Postman pat has been mentioned I just have to put this up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) The latest Thomas theme is not a patch on it. Chale chalo is from a film called Lagaan which, if you have four hours of your life to commit to it and you don't mind subtitles, is very uplifting. My favorite bit of Chale Chalo is a 5:23, where the main guy puts his arm around the lovely 'untouchable' guy, and then immediately afterwards another guy follows suit.

darkshine Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah I heard the new version when I was looking for the one I posted - it's like what's all this "we're 2 we're 4 we're 6 we're 8" cr4p? where's the odd numbers? Big thumbs down from me for the new one. I think 4 hours is 2 hours beyond my limit - but I like the music - if I ever see the film on tv and I have insomnia I might give it a go (I've done it in the past although I couldn't tell you any of the titles, they are usually on channel 4 in the dead of the night) not sure why, there's some good story lines. The French subtitled films can be interesting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
