Van Der Balk (Original Barry Foster series), Eye Level by the Simon Park Orchestra.
A real earworm which I would happily hum for hours on end.

This!

'Terry and June' creeps into my head worryingly often. Haven't watched it since the 80s.

It's in my head now 🙈😂

The littlest hobo theme tune is currently stuck in my head.

@CwmYoy
A few years ago we sang Lightning Tree as part of the massive schools' Young Voices concerts. I was proud to introduce it to a new generation of fans 😁

Wonderful. Good to know it's still appreciated

I like the big bang theory and when I watched the Home and Away theme tune.

Lexx - the theme to Series 3 and 4.
A song in a long dead language that the Brunnen G always sang when they went into battle expecting to die…

Brunnen-G Fight Song from the series Lexx

The Brunnen-G Battle Hymn or Fight Song was sung by the Brunnen-G before going into battle against an enemy whom they knew they had no chance of defeating. ...
