Flashback Friday: End Credits Tunes

Yeaaahhh it's baaaa-aaaack! FlashBack Friday's inna ya area. For previous episodes click here.

Today I'm appreciating some of my favourite show theme tunes. Shows that no longer exist. Hence end credits

Grange Hill

The tune that inspired this topic. Randomly popped in my head today. Many older people probably rated the older theme tune, but man-a-youngster and this is a skankers



The Bill

I used to copy the walk in my living room. I didn't work out they were just walking 'til long time after. Used to kick my heels way back.



Keenan and Kel

This is arguably the greatest opening credits of my generation. Had the streets on smash. Beat is mucky



Cousin Skeeter

This r&b banger went all the way in! Skeeter got a dubplate of 702 'Steelo'. Program was rubbish but it had Meagan Goode and a banging tune



In The House

I didn't like anything apart from Mercedes and the tune. Besides it came on at 3.30 pm. Thugs like me never got in that early from school



Desmonds

Sadly, I can't get the theme song due to copyright and blocked in my country (see here). However, who remembers the spin-off Pork Pie? What you mean no? You know why innit? 'Cos it was rubbish!



If you want to watch re-runs you can on YouTube click this episode then look for other ones.

Oh look, I found a poor quality end credits, but no lyrics.



Doug

Skeng man with only a few shreds of hair but skeng all the same.



RIP all you programs. Your tune are sorely missed. Even if you aren't

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
