Coronation Street Theme (Tab)
I feel a bit guilty for all the UK-centric theme tunes I do. The only US shows I watch have doom laden intros (House, Heroes) or featureless backing for a voiceover (The Daily Show, Mythbusters). So if you have any suggestions for non-UK theme tunes that would work well on the uke, let me know.
Having said that, the Coronation Street theme tune doesn’t work too well on the uke. It’s a little too slow for the uke’s sustain. Which is why Ian Re-entrant’s funky version works well. But it’s a more faithful version that I’ve tabbed up.
i think you should do themes to TV soaps no longer with us
Crossroads
Brookside
El Dorado
or slighty more serious…
Kids TV shows (as this is becoming increasingly relevant to me)
The following have ukes in them, and in some cases Lenny Henry – and they are also on iplayer
3rd and Bird
Big and Small
or (the proper serious response)
Curb your Enthusiam
