… as you’ve never heard it before! The original theme was written and recorded by the Barenaked Ladies. It was also released as a commercial single in 2007. I decided to slow it down and use the melody with a sort of ballad accompaniment, all in one of my favourite keys of G flat!

Following my attempt at making the Theme from the Flintstones into a piano ballad, I decided to try something similar with another children’s TV Theme. This time I’m trying to make the Theme from Mr Benn into something of a piano bar jazzy number. No idea if it works or not – and anyone younger than 35 probably won’t have a clue what this is all about anyway! Here’s the title sequence for a bit of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the 70s!

Something a bit daft today – the Theme from the Flintstones as a piano ballad! This isn’t quite as crazy as it may seem: the theme was actually based on the second movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.17. If you’re curious, have a listen here: open.spotify.com/track/1LLrztm0J5iEFp6brpVRMo
