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?

Oooh also the song at the end of Aladdin. It's a full on production, I find it very invigorating!

JennyBlueWren · 21/08/2017 19:37

Thanks... now it's stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I went through a phase when I couldn't get to sleep because the GoJetters theme was playing aggressively in my head over and over again. If I woke up in the night, it started again immediately. Difficult times.

DS1 and I always make up Go Jetters lyrics, for anything remotely funky, so Play That Funky Music, Grimbot; Superglitchin' [Superstition]; Jetters Delight, I could go on...

Peedah Raaaabbit is a bit of an OTT theme tune, isn't it? Calm down, session singer. Isn't there a bit about fields of wheat? Theresa May would be impressed.

I love the song at the end of Jamillah and Aladdin, that is a proper sofa-jumping, hands in the air singalong.

YokoReturns · 21/08/2017 19:55

And does anyone else cry proper wailing, snotty tears at Tee and Mo's 'Go to Sleep' song? It's just so lovely!

Imstickingwiththisone · 21/08/2017 19:55

I always stick around for the end of jamilah and aladdin it's great. The genie is alright too.

The worst and most irritating theme and cartoon of all time is Bubble Guppies.

NO, SHUT UP, I NEVER DID, ITS JUST VERY DUSTY IN HERE!

Elledouble · 21/08/2017 20:01

It is ridiculous! Definitely sounds like Christian Rock to me!

YokoReturns I cry at Tee and Mo too Blush I tried to learn the words so I could sing them to my boy but it's too weepy!

user1499333856 · 21/08/2017 20:04

I think I lost my mind somewhere after DC2.

I am far too invested in Bing and disproportionately happy when the CBeebies Winter song comes on....

Having a spersonality disorder is hard.

YokoReturns · 21/08/2017 20:06

elle and elspeth I just look like this when I try to sing it to the DSes 😶😑😢😥😓😭

BettyOBarley · 21/08/2017 20:06

God I really really hate Peter Rabbit (currently DD's favourite programme)

FannyDaggers · 21/08/2017 20:16

Please post this on the CBeebies Facebook page, it would win my comment if the week!

Oh god what is it about that song? I actually have to hold back the tears. It somehow immediately makes you remember they're only tiny for a short while and makes me want to squeeze them so tight. Agh I'm welling up now!

Whenever I sing along to it I have to do lots of air grabbing. I also always get the words wrong which I think just adds to the performance.

Does he do Tree Fu Tom as well? The shite that it is

ButtMuncher · 21/08/2017 20:22

I'm so glad it's not just me. I loathe that programme and it's one of my favourite series as a child.

Go Jetters is fine. My favourite is Hey Duggee Grin

BowiesJumper · 21/08/2017 20:30

It's Lauren laverne singing the tee and mo songs!

YokoReturns · 21/08/2017 20:35

A PP mentioned Timothy Goes to School. I would make a rodent/small animal kebab out of Timothy and Friends, they are heinous.

DH and I have a theory that the Magic Hands theme tune was written down the pub at 6pm on a Friday aided by the cast of The Fast Show (shake your fingers, sminky pinky...MAGICHANDS!).

YokoReturns · 21/08/2017 20:38

bowie ahhh I knew that I knew the voice! How did she get through that without bawling her eyes out I'd like to know? Love love LOVE her radio show (she has a very similar record collection to me!) and am old enough to have been a Kenickie fan back in the day.

saffrongirl · 21/08/2017 20:50

If we're just talking cbeebies songs, that one about the northern lights that Kat and some kids earnestly sing really makes me laugh, with them floating about in different coloured lycra.

My dd is nearly 8 and has to leave the room if Peter rabbit comes on as it is too scary... i fear the theme tune is the least of my problems !

Grimbles is your username in honour of Grandmaster Glitch? Grin

Every time I hear the awful theme music for Peter Rabbit I think "Peter Rabbit is a thieving little shit". A central storyline of theft isnt the best message for kids...

YokoReturns · 21/08/2017 21:11

miaow excellent claim to fame, what were they like? I expect LL was incredibly brainy.

Other noteworthy kids tv theme tunes/musical numbers (i.e. ones that have woken me up screaming at 3am):

Babar (boomshboomshboomboomboomboom)
Ella the Elephant
64 64 64 Zoo Lane
Hey Duggee incidental music
Twirlywoos (ME! ME!)
Floogals
Gigglebiz (arrivederci!)
Team Umizoomi (esp It's Your Hair, Woo!)
I used to like Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures before it got canned

Jason Donovan singing Boj! did not make it onto my list.
