Songs from TV programmes (not including theme tunes!)

Post by Up the Junction »

Saw this post on Facebook about the "horse" song...

...and it immediately made me think of the Bowie appearance on Extras.




What do you reckon? Any better?

Rules iz it has to be unique and written specifically for the show in question (so no Ace of Spades/Young Ones etc).

Well, you can't beat David Bowie!

Childhood memories, so obviously biased through nostalgia, but I genuinely think this is a good soundtrack.

Was looking for individual songs written specifically for use in a show, rather than theme tunes... sorry if not clear...

Always knew that Divine Comedy did the theme tune for Father Ted but I only recently found out that their singer/songwriter Neil Hannon was also responsible for My Lovely Horse. It was eventually included a B side on one of Divine Comedys singles.

Here they are performing it.
