They're barely even similar. Still very very easy.

I'll give it a miss then. I'm more a murray mint man.

Oh go on, I've got a Cadbury's Picnic in my back pocket if you prefer, it's just past the beef flavoured Hula Hoop.

Blimey, you've got a lot of confectionery on you. What are you? A walking tuck shop?

How about Noseybonk's signature music?
Noseybonk was a bizarre character on 80s kids' TV show 'Jigsaw'. Click here and be very, very scared of him. Big-nosed grinning peado freak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_1QyOQDx6w
Just thought of another:
Sir Prancelot End (all jingly jangly Dan Electro Sitar guitars)
And another:
Spender (Written by the guy who played the ex rockstar with MS in the show, Tony McAnaney)

The A-Team
We Love You - A Very Peculiar Practice

Yackety Sax - Benny Hill
Dr Who
Catweazle
Battle of the Planets
Blackadder (especially Series 2)
The Banana Splits

Worst theme tunes would have to include those for:
Robin's Nest
Man About the House
George & Mildred
Moonlighting
The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour
Northern Exposure
Fantasy Island
CHiPs
That Girl
WKRP in Cincinnati
George & Mildred's theme tune was nowhere near 'worst'. It doesn't make a list of greats, but it doesn't deserve that low a ranking.

Season 1 of George & Mildred had a theme tune that was fun and jaunty. Subsequent seasons had a theme that was quite different: light and tedious (and accompanied by very dull silhouettes in Season 4). My 'worst' ranking for G&M theme is based on the latter seasons.

Some good ones in there, but I thought this deserved special attention. Great tune.
Quote: Kenneth @ April 18 2009, 2:23 AM BSTMoonlighting
Oh, I quite liked that. Fits the show anyhow.

I found it bland, like a limp jazz lounge song. Whereas the musical score of each episode by Alf Clausen (him what does the music on The Simpsons) was great.
