The Mirror: Big Brother Theme Tune to Be AXED
 

https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/...-axed-30259341

I Really hope that ITV stays with the original theme tune, its just so iconic, BB wouldn't be the same without it :bawling::bawling::bawling:

They’ve been using it in the promos though?

Why on Earth do these media people decide to change things ??

They spend millions and millions on branding then just throw all the good work away

These claims only came to light around a week or 2 ago. It would be a shame though if they did stop using it, for a piece of music to be recognisable across multiple generations is wild

the song was composed as a duet right? I remember Andy Gray saying he thought of the melody while playing the piano.

Yeah, the theme tune was made by Andy Gray and Paul Oakenfold (as Elementfour)

Lets do australia theme.

Sunday mornings watching Rage and this would come on. Youth.

If it's true then they have done something that even Channel 5 were scared to do.

This makes me worried about what kind of vibe ITV are going for with their version, because a theme tune can help sometimes make you understand what style a Show is going for.

same, the theme tune is iconic, if they mess with that, its not a good start

A New Theme
could work

use Davina Michelle's Big Brother hit instead

[Big Brother may scrap the show’s classic theme
tune after DJ Paul Oakenfold was accused
of sexual harassment.

The Elementfour track – written by
Mr Oakenfold and Andy Gray – has been played on the
reality series since it began in 2000.]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

not my FIFA BOP Legend :bawling:

This is terrible news. It’s an iconic track and so recognizable.

Even if he's found guilty, why does this merit a theme change?

No

only if they somehow thing they will get the blame for it

Im assuming because he still collects royalties whenever it is used, and they don’t want to pay him anything if these accusations turn out to be true.

My thought is his music *IS* BBUK and the show will have a huge hole in it if it is axed.

Imo ITV should separate the art from the artist in this situation.

I mean look at R Kelly for example, he is a disgusting Human Being, but I still like Ignition and I Believe I Can Fly because he hasn't committed the atrocities on the songs, and I liked the songs before knowing of his crimes so why would I not like those songs now? All I know now is that I really don't like R Kelly as a person.

And if Paul Oakenfold is guilty of sexual harassment, it still doesn't change the fact that his Music is an iconic part of BB that should never be changed.

Again all it should do is make people view Paul Oakenfold as a person negatively, not his Music.

leaves a huge hole

:umm2:

bunch of drama queens here


approach a powerhouse (preferably female) singer to come up with a new BBUK anthem/tune, think Ella Henderson could do that maybe :think: or Anne-Marie

they are singers they dont make music

:facepalm:

i know that


imagine Ella Henderson with swedish top producer Thomas G'Son for the new BBUK anthem

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:



UK owns Sweden so makes sense

Not sure a reality TV show needs an opening title theme with lyrics and vocals. That's crossing into the BBUSA and BBCAN cheesy OTT territory.

They're talking about taking the show back to the "golden era" of BBUK and are now going to switch the theme out? Doesn't make much sense.

If they do swap it out, they could do worse than to adopt the Aus theme. Still think they should stick with it.

I am quite inconsistent in what I would want changed. I would want the Eatock eye to return instead of C5's abysmal logo, I'd want the theme to remain, but I'd like Marcus Bentley to **** off.
