Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Putting together a music round for a quiz... I'd forgotten how many classics there were out there... 5. Cricket - Terrible sport - cracking theme tune. Especially the opening bit that sounds a bit like crickets. 4. Snooker - Funky doesn't begin to describe it. This belong's in everyone's jazz-hole. 3. Grandstand - Just hearing this song evokes memories of Saturday afternoons watching cross-country championships and showjumping from Badminton. 2. Sportscene - I know I said BBC, but this is a classic. It would make someone who hates football tune in. 1. Ski Sunday - I don't think the number one could ever be in doubt. Put this on at a party and I can guarantee you everyone will be dancing and pretending to ski. Post your own. The site I'm linking to has practically every telly programme in existence.

Co.Down Hibee Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 1. Fleetwood Macs classic made F1 bearable for the opening credits.http://www.televisiontunes.com/Formula_1.html 2.Pot Black was quirky and fun http://www.televisiontunes.com/Pot_Black.html 3.Sportsnight reminds me of the golden age of sport on tv especially boxing.http://www.televisiontunes.com/Sportsnight.html 4.Sportscene agree with OP entirely. although 80s one was better.http://www.televisiontunes.com/Sportscene_-_1992.html 5.Snooker again has this to make it exciting http://www.televisiontunes.com/Snooker_-BBC.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The BBC Golf, F1 and Wimbledon tunes were also brilliant. I'll always remember Rugby Special too, but that's because it was bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 OK, not BBC but ITV's World of Sport wasn't bad. Kind of reminds me of the Black Beauty theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Fans of Grandmaster Flash, Primal Scream and in particular the Snooker tune, will enjoy this tune... https://soundcloud.com/d-e-l-a-m/international-apache-diem-mashup Don't even remember making the comments against it.

throbber Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I fucking love wimbledon - always reminded me of time coming up to school holidays when i was younger and just a generally great time of year completely capped off last year by Andy Murrays triumph.
