Have I Got News For You- The Complete Theme Song

[scotrail47]

EPIC

[rumpusdog1]

BRIAN BLESSED for another show! This is his theme song

[jonbev5]

They DID use this version in the show, they just used the second part from around 2:03. Yes, it has been edited slightly but it is almost identical from this point.

[jo366]

This and the Barenaked Ladies's "History of everything" from the Big Bang Theory are the best TV Theme songs of all time.

[Skibicks123]

On the first picture, was there even an episode of HIGNFY with Dara 'O Briain and Jimmy Carr as guests and Boris Johnson as the guest host? I'd love to see that!

[MarnieQX]

So used to Ian being bald that when I see him with hair it doesn't look right.

[TheButterism]

i think this is not the original, but this could be used for the newer shows as it is more enhanced and clearer, maybe instead of a cover it is a remastered version?

[crazytosh1]

Look at ikkle Paul and Ian in the picture. :}

[2205923358]

Rest in Peace George Webley.

[lilern3]

RIP Big George

[MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

Awesome! Been watching the show for years and had no idea the theme was this long!

[maggosh]

Thumbs up if you want BRIAN BLESSED to host another episode! :D

[pooka543]

How much does Hislop look like a baby? haha

[BFBCFTW]

I had forgotten that Ian even had hair..

[Anarchrist01]

I cant believe merton was 23 when he started this show!

[mptyspace]

@Anarchrist01 He was 33 actually.

[Boyninja616]

2:02 to 2:34 is what the theme tune was based on

[britcrit09]

1:35 they looked so young then!

[Udany147]

For the people saying this isn't the original theme.. they're kind of right.

This is the "default" theme, if you want to call it that. The selection played at the beginning of the show had been edited a few times,. You should hear the series one opening!!

[Robmire]

maybe its not the exact version used in the present series. But as Frankie Boyle once said "Its some funky shit" xD

[Gosu117]

What's the name of the song and who's it by?

[Willypeeorwillynot]

i could see this boris johnsons theme tune, playing in the background while he gets into all his shenanigans

[50033836]

@Willypeeorwillynot Like when he chased off a mugger, and saved a woman? =D True story!

[MrUnderstated]

How can five people not like this theme tune?

[TheSpartanCannon]

2:04 is close to the one that's been used recently.

[ButtersAndShortAss]

it is a theme tune used in the show, its the one from the 1993-1994.

[hungryherbie]

Its not anything like from the tv even the start sounds odd

[boomboombadboy]

Where is this version from. it is not the one on iTunes. it is my favourite theme tune.

[Clarinerd617]

@Kraytsfollower: very scary, how life on a satirical news quiz can cause one to age....

[Kraytsfollower]

oh my god. look at ian hislop at 1:16

its strange and funny

[Kraytsfollower]

nodding my head along with it. as i do when its on tv

[JackyRowe]

i lolled so much when i finally got figured this out on the violin!!!!!

[PlankofWood1]

Put video of that up on youtube. Now. For the good of humanity.

[JackyRowe]

@PlankofWood1 do i have to?

[PlankofWood1]

Indeed you must.

[JackyRowe]

@PlankofWood1 i'll see what i can do then.  or mandolin?? i can do it on both coz they're the same tuning, except one you pluck, and the other you use a bow.

[PlankofWood1]

Doesn't really matter. :P

[bennith]

What an amazing show.

I hope it never ends! :) I'm gonna make my brass band play this :P x

[Brooksider100]

Was this composed specially for the show?

[xxxdarkmexxx]

absoloutley LOVE this tune! hail BIG GEORGE!!

[masterELSKiN]

Does howard goodall have anything to do with this? just a feeling based on the fact this is a BBC theme and I bloody love it.

[mrbeanaswell]

Beautiful!

[meoldbamboo]

great catchy tune 5*

[CGMWorks]

About 10 seconds in, you think this is brilliant and decide to just start playing it again.

[JayfuzOMarley]

someone once said they had a techno theme once..that true ?

[gibbs363]

Its boris johnsons theme song!

Imagine Super-boris fighting the evil bendy bus monster and this song plays in the background

[SK90mY19]

Was Dara O'brien ever on Have I got News? He is in the first picture...

[davidfliu]

Yeah he was, and he made a joke about how just a week after the elections, a foreigner has already taken over.

[nickfurze]

he hosted it 3 times. they're all on youtube.

[mrbeanaswell]

yeah, he was, otherwise he wouldn't be in the photo.

[Liam0928]

I'm not sure why comments stating this isn't the version used in the show are getting thumbs down.

It isn't the version used in the show. =P

[cptlulz]

@Liam0928 Because it was never implied that it was. It just says it's the complete version. Therefore their stating that it isn't is unnecessary.

[johnluvsluna]

what a tune, love it!

[makanjuola2012]

big george webley made it... he is a bbc london 94.9m presenter 10 till 2am every week night

[lrz4life]

Amazing Tune.

x

[abailey1992]

does anyone know the official name of it so i cna download it?

[06SNIPER]

awesome

[qwertdr]

This isn't the original, it's a cover.

[sabakyuugaara]

Yes it is the original. Big George made the whole theme and they shortened it down for the show.

[qwertdr]

I do know it's shorter for the show, but this is different.

It is obvious that is is not the same recording as the one used in the real show. It sounds different, and not 'slightly' to the point that it could be me thinking that or this particular music file has slightly altered it. It IS different.

[sabakyuugaara]

The one that is used on the show ISN'T the original.

[kingrikk]

@sabakyuugaara They have rerecorded it since, but this was the original as used in 1990.

[ShimmyShimmyWhoosh]

Best theme ever

[abailey1992]

does anyone know whats its caled or who ts by im desperate to get it on my ipid help please!

[revan210]

I love this song, it rocks

[madeluxx]

It's so weird hearing this! I never knew there was an actual whole 2 and a half minute theme! Big up big George! How did you get this!?

[sabakyuugaara]

Theres a link to download it in the video description.

[madeluxx]

Oh yeah, sorry! Didn't see that...silly me. XD

[sabakyuugaara]

Haha! Its alright XD

(Love your sketch show by the way. Very funny lol)

[ArrowRocks]

The link is only 30 seconds though >: is there somewhere we can get this whole theme?

[sabakyuugaara]

The link is the whole theme. Thats where I got it from.

[ArrowRocks]

When I visit it plays and downloads the 30 second version, with audience applause at the end as if it had been recorded directly off the show. It definitely isn't the version you've posted here...

[PinstripeShirt]

I just got it. It takes a few attemps but you will get the full version. :)

[TSMDesigns]

@ArrowRocks

Yes. Download Vdownloader (google it)

and then you can download any video you want in any format :)

[niknarnevets]

The link must of changed since you got it as it is only the 30 second version. and I tried downloading it and it is the 30 second theme.

[Spondyx]

No, it is the full version.

Try again?

-Spondyx

[oyagain]

I never even realised there was a complete version of it... thanks!

[sabakyuugaara]

No problem

[LeoNexGen]

*Screams like a little girl* i LOVE this show!

[sabakyuugaara]

Haha. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show too.

[WiseOldGaius]
