Polls Apart

Issue 32 of Clash is out now with the Polls Apart piece 'Tv Theme Tunes'


Amongst those praised or condemned are Alabama 3 (The Sopranos), Oasis (The Royle Family), Paul Oakenfold (Big Brother) and The Monkees (The Monkees tv show of course).


My favourite, also in there, is the Fresh Prince of Bel Air by The Fresh Prince (now enjoying the high life as big time actor Will Smith). Bet you can rap the whole thing without realising it. Go on try it. That's the sign of a memorable tv theme.


So, any others you'd like to throw in the pot?
