Those bastards. Not happy. Well happy about the eye, ill be fuming about the theme tune.

[arista]

Those bastards. Not happy. Well happy about the eye, ill be fuming about the theme tune.


No its a New Channel
New Funky Theme.

[Benjamin]

Nooooo, I want the same theme tune. :sad:

[georgehudson]

Sooooooooooooooooo happy about the Eye! And I love what the're doing, keeping us waiting - Revealing a little bit at a time, love it! :love:

Although.. I will be so annoyed if the theme tune is changed, ours is the best out of all of the other countries' in the world! I really don't want it to change! :sad:

:joker: Ahh you do make me chuckle, one of the nicer members on here to :joker: :thumbs:

[arista]

No a new
Theme is being done.


Get Over it.

[Matt]

I'd rather they kept the theme music, could live without the eye. :bored:

[Benjamin]

No a new
Theme is being done.


Get Over it.

It's not confirmed though that a new theme is being made. It could just be a remix of the original.

I do think we have/had the best theme for BB too.

[Patrick]

'They Killed Element 4!'

YOU BASTARDS!

[CharlieO]

the theme tune depicted the whole portrayal of the elements of big brother. it fitted it perfectly and now. :bawling: GONE (hopefully not)

[Jordan.]

Happy they are keeping the Eatock desgins but if I had to choose i'd rather have the theme tune. :bored:

What messes they are, hopefully then read this and relise we don't want it changing.

[Patrick]

I'll be honest,

I'm the first to say '****** off with your gay little petitions' to fans when they try and make things like 'Let's get Ife back in the house!' and 'Lets bring BB Back!' and all that bollocks.

But in all honstly;
A Petition could be a good way to go here if you think about it - Channel 5 aren't like Channel 4 in the sense they aren't up their own arses and I imagine they'll want to get everything right, so if they see hundreds of true fans pissed off about it they could easily consider keeping the Main Theme, especially because they haven't even decided with Endemol whether or not they're changing it.

So a petition could sway them in the right direction to keep the theme.

[MTVN]

Meh, not that bothered about either, such things are only trivialities really

[Glenn.]

I couldn't really care for the theme tune. A different theme would freshen it up.
I'm just happy the logo is staying.

[Patrick]

I wouldn't mind at all if they remixed our theme abit, infact that would be brilliant and it would 'freshen it up'.

But everyone knows our theme is the most popular out of every single country, they'd be crazy to get rid of it.
I bet when they do, BB USA jumps in and takes it. :rolleyes:

[james130]

NOT
HAPPY.


This can't happen.

[the_last_remaining_fan]

I like the theme tune. Wouldn't be the same without it.

And...i'm frankly terrified by the sound of "lots of changes".

I hope they are positive changes.

[joeysteele]

They can change what they like for me, I am just glad it's coming back. I am not bothered as to the theme tune anyway.

[happybbfan]

Love the news about the eye but i would like the theme tune to stay or at least be re-vamped a bit so that we can still recognise it.It is not confirmed that the theme tune will go tho and could just be the DS creating hype again as the auditions wont be long in being announced.

[CharlieO]

I think arista should tell Desmond to look on this site for ideas and then tell endemol. (i secretly think arista is Richard Desmond in disguise)

[Mystic Mock]

No its a New Channel
New Funky Theme.

Do you not remember what happened to The Bill when ITV changed everything including the theme tune in the 9.00 P.M change?

[RichardG]

They better not give us some slow cheesy soap opera music with the titles being pictures of the housemates popping up looking all happy. If they're gonna change the theme tune then at least keep the tune fast so we can have the same kind of titles we usually have!

[Patrick]

Agree with the dude above.

The whole reason everyone across the world laughs at BBUSA is because of how Soap Opera and Cheesy it is ala the Titles.

I would cut myself if they make our titles like that.

If they do change our theme, I'd rather it be like BBAUS or a very Trance kind of Party theme, that represents our version's vibe.
There was a line in Element 4 I loved as it just went with Big Brother; it's the line where the girl screams;

'You Rise To The Fame!'

So yeah I'd like a very good fast, catchy, party theme with some quick lyrics that relate to Big Brother in it, I'd also like it to have a FULL Version so it can have a Music Video or have a chance at entering the charts like Element 4 did back in 2000.

[DigitalSid]

Honestly? It doesn't bother me, nor would them scrapping the eye. I'm just happy the show's back and actually welcome them starting from scratch.

Though I would personally rather basic elements like the theme and voiceover were kept the same for continuity and familiarity's sake.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Will be gutted if they change the theme tune, if i had to choose one or the other, i would change the eye...tbh.

[CharlieO]

I dont think they will tbh, its a good tool to use in the adverts to show people its back. But know one knows. We wont until the first show.

[JohnnyBB]

i dont see nothing rong with the juilian jeweil opening orignal mix :/

This, 100%!

Although I wouldn't go as far as 'cutting myself' haha :joker:

But yeah.. anyway, Patrick is rather good at putting my point exactly across :thumbs:

[georgehudson]

i cant hear it in the element 4 original?? could you post a link id like to hear.

It's very hard to hear, you have to listen VERY carefully, it was in it until the end, not just the original :spin:

[CharlieO]

i thought i had listened to it carefully. still cant hear it. :(

[georgehudson]

Oh... Haha :joker: :spin: :joker:

[CharlieO]

this is the one ive been listening to it. a comment says its in there i just cant hear it. this is annoying me now like seriously.

[georgehudson]

I dont think they will tbh, its a good tool to use in the adverts to show people its back. But know one knows. We wont until the first show.

Agreed. It's a very good tool for the adverts.

And we will hopefully find out by the adverts :thumbs:

[georgehudson]

_6H1J-jnIqw

It's the voice at 01:09 :thumbs:

[CharlieO]

to me that sounds just like: woo wo wooo wahhh

[Mystic Mock]

I do think though that we should just be happy that Big Brother is coming back as afterall not every show that gets canceled gets brought back so I will take the theme tune change,even though I do think its a suicidal move.

[georgehudson]

to me that sounds just like: woo wo wooo wahhh

Nope it's 'The rise to fame!' haha :joker: :thumbs: :spin:

[georgehudson]

Well said. :spin:

[Tony1111]

Glad the eye is back, not bothered about the theme tune it was kinda dated in my opinion. :p

[Patrick]

to me that sounds just like: woo wo wooo wahhh

I remember reading the 3 Lyrics are:

'You Rise To The Fame!'
'You Run Away!'

And I think the rest just say 'Boogy' or something, someone mentioned on here a year ago that after it says 'Run Away' the vocals say 'Don't look back'.

I can't hear that at all LOL.

[Patrick]

Glad the eye is back, not bothered about the theme tune it was kinda dated in my opinion. :p

It was loved by everyone though, even people who despised the show lol.
They should of just remixed it, honestly - would of been amazing if they got Oakenfold to Remix it again.

[alfiegreen]

Does nobody else think that they're wrote that article to get public attention and speculation going... They know exactly what they're doing. But look at the amount of comments its got already, and that's just on this forum... its all over the web. The buildup is working...

[Patrick]

Fair play, any news is good though when there's a quiet patch for weeks and nothing has been said.

[alfiegreen]

I agree. Richard Desmond is running the news, so he's making it look like there's news when tbh there really isn't... Its all just hype. Its works very well although!

[Marsh.]

It's probably a good idea to completely give the show a new identity.

Davina is synonymous with Big Brother and the show is going into a new era without her so there needs to be a lot of other changes along with it for the overhaul to work.
Otherwise, it's the same show with some poor presenter being criticised as Davina's replacement.

[_Seth]

The theme HAS to stay. All other countries admit they prefer ours... what the genuine ****??

It could be remixed a bit, though.

[_Seth]

We can reveal Channel 5 and Endemol UK will be keeping the iconic eye motif which has been used to promote the show since 2000.


Artist Daniel Eatock is the man who has designed all the different coloured eyes to plug each series when it aired on Channel 4.Umm... No. Daniel Eatlock's design was used from 2001 onwards, honey.

[happybbfan]

Well done Mr Desmond you have now got all the passengers aboard the BB train where we will stop to pick up many rumours and stories until we reach our destination of Elstree in August.Nothing is final or confirmed until its either on the website or in print from C5.Auditions are getting close now and any publicity and hype is what he wants before they announce the Golden Ticket.

Really?!.. No-one knew that... :joker: :xyxwave:

[Marsh.]

They mean they'll be keeping the eye signage that has accompanied each series since it started. Not necessarily Daniel Eatock.

And he’s set to come up with a new one when the show bounces back on our screens on Channel 5.

:shrug:

[DigitalSid]

to me that sounds just like: woo wo wooo wahhh

It's "rise to fame" and is repeated a few times. Though I'd argue that's more of a reason not to use it.

[Patrick]

Why?
That matches Big Brother perfectly.

[T*]

Wait, Isn't it really up to ednemol, not 5. I mean this is Daily Star. The same people who tell lies to get money. Really, Would you trust them?

[Marsh.]

:shrug:

My post was a response to someone who said it's only been since BB2.
Only Daniel Eatock since BB2, but the use of an eye was used from the beginning. AS with the majority of BBs around the world.

[Patrick]

Yeah but DS said Eatock had been on board since 2000, they failed.

[Marsh.]

Why?
That matches Big Brother perfectly.

The Big Brother of wannabes it became. Not the original show at the beginning.

Although, rewatching some old series they also had their fair share of wannabes even then it's just they were more subtle than the likes of Charley, Nikki and Chanelle.

[Patrick]

Infact weren't we the first country to have an Eye?

The original BB had some stupid Blue Oval that said 'Big~Brother' in it :bored: and it looks like some Dell logo for a Laptop.

Alot of countries including Germany and The Phillipeens still use that.

BBUSA uses their ugly House logo.

BB AUS used a Eye like we did, but there's never changed.
So we were the first country to use the eye weren't we?

No idea. I can't get into the foreign series like others seem to. They're just completely different shows to me that I have no interest in. USA's is very melodramatic, and stagey and edited like a soap opera as opposed to a diary of the day like we have.

The only one that looks mildly interesting to me is the Australian one because it has the fun factor and a few similarities to ours.

True.

Yeah actually, for the new theme they should have lyrics similar to what BB7 had in it's titles.

Like they could have this voice over:

qnIvuaBFrEM

Saying things like; 'You are being observed' and 'Big Brother is coming' and stuff like 'No Escaping!'

Like give the theme a real 1984 feel to it, and then eventually kick in to a Dancey/Trance part that could then be used for the titles.

[Josy]

I'm not really fussed about the theme tune or the eye.

[Patrick]

I'm not really fussed about the theme tune or the eye.


:bored:

[Josy]

:bored:

What?

Some of the eye designs are pathetic and look as if they have been designed by a pre schooler in ms paint, I have watched BB from day 1 and its not the little things like the eye or theme tune that keep me watching.

[georgehudson]

True.

This would be brilliant!

Although I still can't let the theme tune we had go :love:

It's all part of it. :rolleyes:

[Josy]

It's all part of it. :rolleyes:

Not for me its not, I don't go around looking for things to moan about I'm just glad that BB is coming back.

[Sam:)]

Im going to miss hearing that every-night,and on those eviction ads :(

[georgehudson]

Not for me its not, I don't go around looking for things to moan about I'm just glad that BB is coming back.

Neither do I.. If you look at most of my posts they are saying people shouldn't look for things to moan about, and I am sooooo glad it's back. It's just in my opinion they shouldn't change the theme tune :)

[georgehudson]

Im going to miss hearing that every-night,and on those eviction ads :(

Same! :sad:

But it's not confirmed yet.. Let's just hope!!! :spin:

[DigitalSid]

Why?
That matches Big Brother perfectly.

Because the last thing we want is more housemates rising to fame.

[iRyan]

I wouldn't mind if they did a remix. But they need to keep the 'DUN NUN NA NA NA' melody.

[Patrick]

Sid, I don't think it's neccessarly a problem if the housemates rise to fame - I suppose it's just whether they go in seeking fame.

Yeah actually, if they're trying to steer the show away from that direction of 'Come on here for the summer and you can be famous!', then maybe that lyric should go.

But yeah well said Ryan; that part is so catchy the big build up - god they really should remix it.

If they replace it with one of the best trance tracks ever or something and it's such a good song, I'll probably still frown upon it because it isn't the theme we grew to love - kind of like when fans get defensive over original films VS remakes.

[TheBrother]

I did love the theme tune, it made Big Brother, when you heard the music on the very first advert and you piss yourself. Well I did anyway. At least they're keeping the eye, <@>

[MrFrost]

who cares. It hasn't got davina either?


That's right.. I'm being Negative



:)

[the_last_remaining_fan]

who cares. It hasn't got davina either?

Heaven forbid.

Fact is, there could be a hell of a lot of disappointment come August, if it IS all changed for the worse.

[Sam:)]

awh i love our theme tune

[Speedster]

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/187970/Big-Brother-icon-back-on-new-show/

What's wrong with the theme tune? it's distinct, it just needs jazzing up a bit maybe.

[elliebrew]

so pleased eatocks back i just hope the theme is too

Decadence means what tho?

[the_last_remaining_fan]

excess.

[Glenn.]

I'm just glad the logo isn't going anywhere.

[_Seth]

Theme tune > logo.

[CharlieO]

There was no need to completely change it. I dont think anyone hated it.

[DigitalSid]

Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that the record label it was released under was/is(?) Channel 4's?

[Glenn.]

I did love the theme tune, it made Big Brother, when you heard the music on the very first advert and you piss yourself. Well I did anyway. At least they're keeping the eye, <@>

This:joker:

[Judas]

I think it would be good if we got a new theme... but taken from the Element 4 song. So a new patch of the song, remixed, and made into a new theme tune.

[Tony1111]

What if they kept the under tone of the original theme (the bit at the start) and renewed the main tone that plays over it. I always think of Who wants to be a Millionaire? when I hear the theme tune. :)

[Rob]

I think the theme tune will stay, it's just as iconic as the eye, everyone knows it when they hear it, BB fan or not!

[Marsh.]

I wouldn't mind if they just reworked it. Like how Doctor Who has the same theme tune only remixed.

[Rob]

That could work, remember CBB7 with the classical version on the adverts?

[DigitalSid]

I think the theme tune will stay, it's just as iconic as the eye, everyone knows it when they hear it, BB fan or not!

As I said, it might be down to the fact that Element Four released the single under Channel 4's record label.

[Rob]

As I said, it might be down to the fact that Element Four released the single under Channel 4's record label.

I'm not sure if that would mean Channel 4 has any rights to it. It would seem the rights belong to Element Four, who then sold it to edemol.

[Jarrod]

They could do with remixing it a bit. Like a comment above said, When DW Came back in 2005 they changed the theme again in 2007 just slightly and then in 2010! It just needs jazzing up! No need to change the whole theme! BBUK Is iconic for its logos and themes
