Not a TV theme, strictly speaking, but this should win everything, ever:

^ Persuaders theme, one of the best John Barry jobs imo

Albert Crampus (NickB), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:30 (6 months ago) Permalink

this is the version that should be considered the standard official version, IMO - the one with the weird fuzz-wah intro and the stronger vocalist. The one with bats-flying intro can GTFO... however, if you can somehow scrounge up the now almost urban-legend version with the ghost-wailing intro, then that is truly the best one and is totally classic (and possibly made up by my brain). Have looked forever but I can't find it.

Australian classic (honestly didn't love the show but themesong rules)
