Annoying children's programme theme tunes
 
Now that a good percentage of the forum is humming the theme tune to the Littlest Hobo, can we think of any other kid's (or adult) programmes with the sorts of theme tunes that get stuck in your head and won't go away????

Can't. The Littlest Hobo has taken over my brain. And I don't have any work to do anyway

Truly annoying.

It's actually a desperate bid to get Hobo out of my head! R&C doesn't do it though. Can't sing along

Dogtanian! Annoying! "all for one and one for all..." grrrrr!

Also hate the Flumps. Had a nightmare as a kid where Pootle (the one with the bobble hat) attacked me while I was camping once. Get a cold sweat to this day if I hear the theme tune.

:scared:

LOL!!! I have a friend nicknamed Flump because she always used to wear Flump hats. Pootle. Scary. I only had nightmares about Morph and Dr Who.

Dogtanian though, good contender. Monetarily replaces Hobo on my head tape

When I was working in Sydney, I got hooked on watching 'Bananas in Pyjamas' in the mornings & went into meetings etc humming the theme tune.

One of my more stupid colleagues asked me what it was, & I said 'Mozart' which seemed to satisfy him... (Probably one of his early works, say K14 or something like that? :) )

(Yes, Bundy, I am bored too, but it's more displacement activity, because I'm supposed to be preparing my presentations for next week's consultancy days... )

Fantastic. I know have a hybrid version of Hobo, crossed with a bit of Grange Hill, some Ski Sunday and Hawaii Five-0.

Anya, like the Mozart trick. Might try it.

Alright, what about the Wombles then? I always got them confused with the Flumps, which shows how well my brain used to work.

Read the thread and now all I have in my head is:

Bod!!!!!
