Ah, if you think that's annoyingly catchy - I can go one better with this, played as the signature tune to the hugely popular BBC radio request show, throughout the worst of the Blitz and past the end of the war and on into the 50's.

Known by practically everyone in Britain, even to this day.

Try this one then for it's relentless cheery optimism.

Another one from the days of when the BBC was still very much a Reithan quasi-civil service insitution.

Heh heh heh - your 'Rock Legend' cred vanishes in a flash!

Nothing for it now but reach for that trusty pipe and slippers now!

I think there's an irony in that my dad literally can't stand listening to them - but isn't bothered by Laibach or Aphex Twin one little bit - how times have changed!

The homefront ones aren't bad. But then, I haven't heard them regularly all of my life either. The Worker's Playtime is a plucky little ditty. Here is one for you, theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Hugo Montenegro and his Orchestra. My dad had the whole album years ago and I loved it.

I always thought the staccato guitar sound in this was brilliant.

Good theme! A cheesy western classic, but a good theme!

I am actually a huge fan of the old spaghetti westerns. I own the box set of Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns. It has The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. I love all of them. I know there are others, but those are the real well-known ones.

The theme to 'The Magnificent Seven' is a goodie too!

I used to love playing Q-Bert and Frogger on the Atari.

Ah memories! I remember calling Donkey Kong, Donkey Bear because the big ape at the top looked more like a bear. I played Asteroids until I had Carpal Tunnel! That old Atari was fun.
