Flashback Friday: End Credits Tunes

Yeaaahhh it's baaaa-aaaack! FlashBack Friday's inna ya area. For previous episodes click here.

Today I'm appreciating some of my favourite show theme tunes. Shows that no longer exist. Hence end credits

Grange Hill

The tune that inspired this topic. Randomly popped in my head today. Many older people probably rated the older theme tune, but man-a-youngster and this is a skankers



The Bill

I used to copy the walk in my living room. I didn't work out they were just walking 'til long time after. Used to kick my heels way back.



Keenan and Kel

This is arguably the greatest opening credits of my generation. Had the streets on smash. Beat is mucky



Cousin Skeeter

This r&b banger went all the way in! Skeeter got a dubplate of 702 'Steelo'. Program was rubbish but it had Meagan Goode and a banging tune



In The House

I didn't like anything apart from Mercedes and the tune. Besides it came on at 3.30 pm. Thugs like me never got in that early from school



Desmonds

Sadly, I can't get the theme song due to copyright and blocked in my country (see here). However, who remembers the spin-off Pork Pie? What you mean no? You know why innit? 'Cos it was rubbish!



If you want to watch re-runs you can on YouTube click this episode then look for other ones.

Oh look, I found a poor quality end credits, but no lyrics.



Doug

Skeng man with only a few shreds of hair but skeng all the same.



RIP all you programs. Your tune are sorely missed. Even if you aren't

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty. Rachel Uchitel bawlin at the scene of 9/11 where her man (fiancee/boyfriend/husband) died The chick whose sold his voicemail on and can be heard above The wifey (why cheat on her with the ones above I'll never kno

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
