What obscure or odd bits and pieces of music off the telly, or elsewhere, do you know that to you are actually little gems? Is there a little piece of music you really like but no-one else seems to know about it?
For instance, I always liked the music in the junction idents from the schools programmes in the late 80s/early 90s. Especially the jaunty bit for the minute countdown. Jaunty minute countdown Whole revolving ident The theme tune to Stop Look Listen was funky too but sadly very short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buPf1tJ1ZMc&feature=related Listen out for the kid's laugh at the start. It's brilliant. |

The animated pinball segment of Sesame Street was always a favourite.
Until I could actually buy drugs of my own, in any case. |

I always liked the theme to Juliet Bravo, too.
Damn not having Youtube at work. |

You should hear the Marti Webb version.
And I should never have. |

It was written by the same bloke who wrote the Eastenders theme and subsequently Anita Dobson's vocal version. Both awful. But the funky closing music was great. |

The theme tune for The Two Ronnies' mini-serial The Detectives (who went by the names of Piggy Malone and Charley Farley) was always a corker. I loved it all the more when a DJ dropped it into his set prior to Orbital's gig at Somerset House.
Unfortunately there's no trace of any audio links online, although it did surface on the This Is... The Return Of Cult Fiction CD in '96/97. |

Oh the nostalgia!
I loved that rotating ITV logo! Reminds me of all the best things about the early 90's. |

Rua you beauty.
 I've was trying to get The Detectives tune in my mind after Ade mentioned it but couldn't help getting Like A Pen by The Knife after the first bit.QUOTE (Jon 79 @ Mar 1 2008, 02:45 PM) Oh the nostalgia!
