A Song For The Right Wing Newspapers

Just a quick thing tonight.

There’s just been a Mail on Sunday advert on the telly, as they are giving away the new McFly album.

I am fairly certain that one of the tracks is heavily derivative of the theme song from largely-forgotten 1980s Disney cartoon, The Gummi Bears.

  VS  

Of course, it could just be me. It probably is; McFly probably aren’t even old enough to remember the Gummi Bears, and this is probably less of a scandal than Roxette nicking the theme tune to Orm and Cheep in 1994. And I definitely made that second one up.

(Blimey. Look at that; the opening titles to The Gummi Bears run for a whole minute. That would surely never happen these days; at least forty-two of those sixty seconds could be used for Marketing Targeted At The Core Demographic or something.)
