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?

Jamie and the Magic Torch was a classic. A boy in my class was called Jamie so it was sung quite regularly as you'd imagine. poor kid

I love Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit but that theme tune is all wrong.

MarthasHarbour · 22/08/2017 21:42

FFS that tee and monsong makes me 😫😫😫 I also tried to recite it for DS2 but couldn't. I had no idea it was LL (I remember Kenickie too)

The incidental music for Hey Duggee is brilliant! (The 40s style jig)

DS1 was terrified of Peter Rabbit too, honestly you would have thought I had made him sit through Watership Down 🙄

MarthasHarbour · 22/08/2017 21:43

WTF is 'monsong'? 🙄

PootlewasthebestFlump · 22/08/2017 21:45

My boyfriend through primary and secondary was called Jamie and yeah, he was sick of it being sung to him by the time he left :-D

PumbletonWakeshaft · 22/08/2017 22:17

@Pootlewasthebestflump Yes Pootle WAS the best flump! And I can still remember the theme tune Grin

do-doop do-doop do-doo-de-dooo
do-doop do-doop do-doo-de-dooo
do-doop do-doop do-doo-de-dooo
dooooo-de-dooo-do-doop!

I thankyou.

I also vote for the Raggy Dolls theme tune "Dolls like you and me" :)

What about the Topsy and Tim theme which is also weirdly charged with emotion considering it's just a quaint little show about a couple of pre-school kids... AND it sounds like a rip off of the pop song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

RedBlackberries · 22/08/2017 22:35

I know bay it's practically a power ballad Confused

Whatshouldmyusernamebe · 22/08/2017 22:37

My 6 year old loves Peter rabbit. It's his favourite programme but ssh he doesn't want his friends to know. Wink I know have the theme tune in my head.

PootlewasthebestFlump · 22/08/2017 22:51

Pootle defined flumpdom. The others were a bit annoying.

Carouselfish · 22/08/2017 23:54

Yes! It's so darn EARNEST! Also imagine him in the studio throwing his all into it while cursing the turn his career has taken.

Timmy Time is the worst for me though.
'He's a littaw lamb with a lot to learn.
And he's always having such a lot of fun!'

Followed by 15 minutes of adult humans saying 'Baaaa' and 'Yipyip?'.

Peter Rabbit is my DCs favourite so I have the theme tune on repeat argh!

The song from CBeebies that reallyyyyy annoys me is discover and do! That gets stuck in my head so bad.

Unrelated but how bad is it when you know what time it is by what's on CBeebies, who needs clocks anymore! 😂

WivJammin · 23/08/2017 08:19

We have the Tee and Mo album, it's awesome

MineKraftCheese · 23/08/2017 08:20

That Hey Duggee album is also on Spotify Grin

To think the Peter Rabbit themetune is ridiculous?
PumbletonWakeshaft · 23/08/2017 09:57

I loooove the Hey Duggee retro incidental music. Just brilliant Grin

We do like Timmy Time here. DS (20 months) spends the whole time shouting DUCK! (which he also does for Sarah and Duck, and the Twirlywoos)

The one I can't stand is blimmin I Can Cook. The presenter just come across as so aggressive, she really grates on me.

(does anyone else think Ben always looks awkward, like he doesn't really want to be there?)

thethoughtfox · 23/08/2017 09:59

I like the later episodes where there is a different Peter who has a bit of cool London accent.

WinnieWonders · 23/08/2017 10:04

YES!!! I'm glad someone has said this. It's the worst theme tune of all the theme tunes on CBeebies. It's not the words that irritate me, but the constant over-produced volume of the whole thing. There is no let-up - the whole song is loud, in your face and too energised. THE WORST is when your kid wants to play the CBeebies on-line Peter Rabbit game, so it plays over and over and over....

NancyDonahue · 23/08/2017 10:10

The Racoons (90's cartoon) has the best theme tune ever.

GherkinSnatch · 23/08/2017 11:10

Beatrix Potter would definitely not approve...

ohlittlepea · 23/08/2017 11:17

Its an absolute affront to Beatrice potter!

willymcwill · 23/08/2017 12:49

Yes!!! There is so much over emoting going on Grin

Go jetters just gets stuck in my head all day!

But we love Hey Duggee, the whole programme is genius Smile

MarthasHarbour · 23/08/2017 22:20

That Go Jetters theme tune just reminds me of my misspent teenage years in the 80s!! Grin

MrTrebus · 15/09/2017 16:48

So Peter Rabbit has just started on cbeebies and i just physically cringed and then remembered this thread!!

nespressowoo · 30/08/2019 18:36

I was just googling who the awful cheesy singer was for Peter Rabbit and this thread turned up in the results 😂

He is a cheesy mofo that's for sure
