Laughing out loud

"You win some, You lose some, You keep on smiling through the blues some. Every day's another day of your life"

That's my favourite.

Is that The Young Ones?

The theme to Whatever happened to the Likely Lads, with that iconic opening sequence, pure joy.

Yes, and damn catchy!

Two songs are prominent for me with no particular preference, Bob James - Angela [Taxi] a beautiful piece of Jazz music. Or the theme to Red Dwarf as it's fun.

The Taxi theme's great. Here's me trying to play it and getting frustrated with my sausage fingers. You'll be glad to know I've learned it properly now.

:D

I think the intro to the series would have benefited from someone shouting 'Oh bollocks' half way across the bridge !

That would have been the coolest thig ever. My whole view of American culture would be a completely different one.

Heh heh. I do get a tad annoyed with myself.

Blackadder (loved it how they always adjusted the music and text to match with the epoque it was set in and it always sounded great)
Fawlty Towers
Mr Bean
Jeeves and Wooster
The IT Crowd

And considering American comedy, I really like the themes of The Office and Parks and Recreation.

I got quite attached to the Yes Minister theme tune.

It's incredibly simple, but The Good Life theme tune is a classic little piece of 70s television themes

Someone has already said Taxi, I would have to agree with that, for any of those of you that like a little rap, here is a nice tune that samples the Taxi theme.

Mrs Brown's Boys. The Good Life was good. I liked Steptoe and Porridge's too.
