set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:48 (thirteen years ago)

Minder, Crossroads and Kids In The Hall seconded. Some more UK ones...
Grandstand (BBC, 1970s)
Grange Hill (BBC, 1970s-early 80s - the one with the sausage on the fork, not the one that nicks a riff from Lover To Fall by Scritti Politti, although that's pretty good too)
Alter Image (Channel 4, 1980s, by Mick Karn)
In The Night Garden (CBeebies, 2000s, future classic)

Supposed Former ILM Lurker (WeWantMiles), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:50 (thirteen years ago)

Louie

That's the Stories' "Brother Louie" from 1973. What's the rule on this? Would R.E.M.'s "Stand" also be eligible (from Get A Life)?

5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:51 (thirteen years ago)

Yes, per the OP

trebek sajak iii (cwkiii), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:52 (thirteen years ago)

Feel free to choose any piece of music associated with a TV show i.e. just because a band has also released that theme as a song elsewhere doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed here. No remixes or anything though, what made the show only.

trebek sajak iii (cwkiii), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:52 (thirteen years ago)

oh shit you guys

has anyone nommed

Oneohchex Point Charlie (Spectrist), Friday, 2 November 2012 16:58 (thirteen years ago)

I'm super passionate about the songcraft of those 70's and 80's theme songs. Back when they told a story about the show and were sooooooo rooted in your fandom of the show itself, it's a lost art.

Anyway back to my noms:

JOANIE LOVES CHACHI - plz to check the youtube thread if you scoff, it's supercheese and awesome

Not at all, I didn't take it like that.

5-Hour Enmity (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 November 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)
