Friday Poll - No.1: Sweeney Themes
Which version of The Sweeney theme is better - is it the exciting 'Bom-bada-bom!' of the opening titles, or is it the laid back 'Waaaa-Waaawaaa' of the closing titles?
'Bom-bada-bom!'
or:
'Waaaa-waaawaaa' ?
Fast
or slow?
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Well, Ralph, one goes 'Dah duh duh dada dada, duh duh dada dada ...' and the other goes 'Waaa wawa.... waaa wawa.... wah-wawa-wah waaaa wawa wah wah...'
Does that help?Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

As you might expect, i like 'em both. The end theme has that lovely lilting Soprano Sax which sounds so melancholic.
But if i had to choose, it would be the action packed opening theme. It just says: 'Were The Sweeney!'. GUV!

It's essentially the same theme isn't it? Just different arrangements. So as such I like them both but probably could listen to the closing one more often.
Here's something on youtube. Both the opening titles, the one I like & the more weird ones.Last edited by Dirk Gently; 9th Mar 2007 at 2:16 PM. Reason: to add link

Well I voted for the opening theme, although they're both brilliant. Getting the audience all hyped up with a big exciting dramatic piece of music at the start of the programme, and then bringing them back down with a melancholy theme at the end is a work of genius.
