The Magic Roundabout - Theme Tunes

Theme Tunes

The French, and the British versions had different theme tunes.

  • The French tune was quite an upbeat pop tune played on a Hammond organ with child-adult vocals.
  • The British version, by Alain Legrand, removed the vocals and increased the tempo of the tune while making it sound as if it were played on a fairground organ.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or tunes:

    This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    Hark, hark, with what a pretty throat
    Poor robin-redbreast tunes his note;
    Hark, how the jolly cuckoos sing
    Cuckoo—to welcome in the spring!
    Cuckoo—to welcome in the spring!
    John Lyly (1553–1606)
