To think the Peter Rabbit themetune is ridiculous?

How did the singers keep a straight face in the studio? You're saving radishes not world Peter mate, calm down.
Is this what Beatrix potter would've wanted?

Oh god it's awful isn't it? Every episode is the same!

We recently found the DVD of the short series that BBC did years ago, DD really loved them and It's so relaxing in comparison. Love the the little scenes of Beatrix Potter at the start and finish.

Those rabbits are such little thieves and yet there are never any consequences. Just because it's just strawberries doesn't make it ok.

I also love the edgy peter rabbit theme tune. I even googled the owner of the quite attractive voice......BlushBlushBlush

I wish Mr mcgregor would catch the bloody rabbits and make a pie of the naughty wee bastards.

KindergartenKop · 21/08/2017 09:20

We love it here. My friend jokes that the music is done by nickleback.

celeste4 · 21/08/2017 09:21

The theme tune is naff i agree but i actually quite like watching peter rabbit, certainly one of the better programmes on cbeebies.

MaximaDeWit · 21/08/2017 12:07

Agree it's cheesy shite but whoever compared it to the Go Jetters theme, you are mistaken. Go Jetters is amazing and Ubercorn loves disco, hence the theme!

SaucyJack · 21/08/2017 12:15

I love it!

He should be applauded for his strong work ethic. He sings that bloody bunny song like his life depends on it.

"Rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave, rabbits are braaaaaaave" Easter Smile

CryingMessFFS · 21/08/2017 12:48

My DC were terrified of the song when they were tiny. They'd jump and run away when it came on Grin so I'm not a fan. It's waaaaay to dramatic.

Go Jetters theme is amazing though! "Go go, go go, GO JETTERS! Go Jetters Go, GO GO GO!"

The Gojetters song is great and also suits the programme, this is PETER RABBIT, whenever I hear the bloke singing "you better run..run for your life" I think "oh god get a grip".

Go Jetters is awesome. As is the theme tune. Ubercorn is a god.

We change the words to 'Paedo Raaabbiiiit' in our house.

I LOVE Go Jetters. It's especially good when they remix an old song.
Last Night a GJ Saved My Life and That's the Way He Glitched It.. amazing!

PumpkinPie2016 · 21/08/2017 13:51

DS loves Peter Rabbit but the song gets right on my nerves and the guy's voice really grates on me for some reason - it sounds so forced somehow!

DragonNoodleCake · 21/08/2017 14:11

I sing in a praise band and it's not like any Christian rock I know!
I love it though.

SleepThief84 · 21/08/2017 14:22

DD loves this theme tune... I find it gets stuck in my head of hours on end and I spend the rest of the day humming it HmmIt's the songs in the middle of the stories that make me laugh! OH and I were talking about who would would they find to sing something like this the other day funnily enough - someone who can hold a note (very enthusiastically!) but maybe not talented enough to be an actual 'singer' on the radio! X-factor reject maybe?

PumbletonWakeshaft · 21/08/2017 14:29

I love the Go Jetters theme. I also love ubercorn's jumpsuit! Disco-tastic Grin

Totally agree about Peter Rabbit theme - it's trying to make something twee and olde-worlde somehow cool. It really doesn't work.

DS is currently into the Twirliwoos. However DH has been singing the theme non-stop for 4 days now and I am tearing my hair out!

"Quacky birds fly over the sea....." aaaggghhhh!!!!

I love it. And the song at the end of The Tale of the Unexpected Discovery 😭😭😭😭.

Agree also, that Go Jetters is bloody marvellous. I dance to it 😂

Deploycharitygoats · 21/08/2017 15:14

DragonNoodleCake you really can't hear shades of Gungor in there? Not even a tiny bit? Wink

user1499333856 · 21/08/2017 19:21

The Dutch version is equally as earnest and god botherish.

They care far too much.

Grimbles · 21/08/2017 19:24

The best overdone kids show theme tune is the one for 'Timothy goes to school'

Dahlietta · 21/08/2017 19:34

I always imagine that it's sung by Bon Jovi. I can picture people waving their cigarette lighters in time to it. Do you think that shows my age..?
