4 Day Music Challenge - TV Show theme songs

4 Day Music Challenge: Theme is "TV Show theme songs"  BUT the song has to have been released as a song, not just on the TV show. 

 

Ends on Sunday 7 January

 

NO EMBEDDED VIDEOS OR IMAGES PLEASE. This is to accommodate those on slow or mobile internet connections. Any embedded videos entered will be deemed invalid.

 

The poster of the video which has received the most kudos at the end wins the challenge. The winner chooses the next theme, starts a new thread, hosts it, and declares the eventual new winner with the most kudos, with the winning entry post number and song details.

 

If a winner of a theme does not claim the win for whatever reason after 24 hours, the host can nominate a new winner, the next in line, second best scorer... the same guides apply for ties, if the next in line are tied.
In the event of a tie, the host can choose a winner e.g. which entry he/she favours, earliest entry, or which best suits the theme, etc.
If a duplicate version of a song (even if with a different video URL link) happens to be posted in error, the earliest post takes precedence.

 

As a winner, you can copy and paste this head info post into the new thread (Remember to update the end date and time!...) In this way the challenge threads can be self-running (no other prizes, sorry...)

All are welcome to take part, even if you don't post a video yourself - just kudo the posted videos you like. If you are technically challenged and don't know how to post a video link (don't worry, you will not be the first), just ask, and someone will guide you.

I collect versions of this song but none are as good as the original as sung by Aussie singer Don Spencer.

Bit of conversation here .....

 

Noticed John Bluthal as a character voice in the Fireball closing theme.

 

John Bluthal (Boss) and Max Cullen (Sol)  used to do the Oils Ain't Oils ads

Yes.  John Bluthal was the voice for regular character Commander Zero and also (occasional characters) Chief Engineer Jock Campbell and Captain Ken Ross.....plus a few aliens.

 

Other Aussies have voiced characters in Gerry Anderson's shows, like Charles Tingwell (Dr Fawn) and Gary Files (Captain Magenta) in Captan Scarlet and the Mysterons.  Also there was Ray Barrett (John Tracy and guest characters) in Thunderbirds.
