[G1JRJ]

Scrap man drives down my road every Saturday morning blasting this out his hi fi speaker, fucking fantastic

[drwhotvwam]

why is it i always imagine fat people walking to this tune?

[MrDjc1970]

sorry Karrenola...i cudn't get into the yank version of this classic time-piece. i tried lol but you just cant beat british comedy anywhere when its this brilliant. its nice to see a yank respecting a true great. 10/10

[thomsonfly645k]

i could do with a cockney walkabout to be honest

[queenpig]

We have a scrap man that comes round where we live, they play this tune to let everyone know they're here. Anyway he comes round today and I tell my children it was a theme tune from a program and they didn't believe me till i showed them this lol.

[TashesxD]

@queenpig Same! It made my morning when I woke up hearing this, along with ANY OLD IRONN?

[wudge4rufc]

You rotten sod!



[heskeylator]

this should be played everytime nicolas anelka scores a goal, he's older than time itself i think.

[ossyrefugee]

If you ever have visitors from 'Dahn Sarf' you should welcome them with this.

[LargeLeader]

Cockney walkabout, anyone?

[Mr3sheds]

Classic TV theme "Old Ned" by Ron Grainer, not specifically composed for Steptoe and Son. Grainer was approached to write the theme music but already had this as a piece of library music. First released on Pye 45 7N 15411 c/w "Happy Joe" the theme music to Comedy Playhouse where Steptoe and Son first appeared in 1962.

[Stemax1960]

'Arold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[MrLawman10]

i always want to walk with bandy legs when i hear this.

[TylerLav118118]

I'm gonna play this everytime the girl in my year the large tits walk by when her funbags are bouncing like baloons!!!!

[Sean0fenton]

I actually have a rag and bone man that drives around my area collecting scrap and stuff almost every morning and recently he has started playing this them tune while on his rounds.

[MrDavidfball]

or if you liked shooting stars you could have a cockney walkabout lol

[missBOKAY]

[Wilthomer66]

"Interstellar Overdrive"

[SuperNevile]

@Wilthomer66 And "Blackberry Way" by The Move

[jameskoolkat]

Redd was born John Elroy Sanford, in 1922. He ran away from home to join a street band, when he was 13. He went to New York after that, to get in to show business – and supported himself by washing dishes, while carving himself a place in the biz. He got his nickname from his hair color, and light skinnedness. He really hit the big time in 1972, when he was cast in the American version of the successful British sitcom, Steptoe and Son, renamed for the USA, Sanford and Son, after his birthname

[OasisShmoasis]

Playing this at a nightclub guarantees to clear the floor. Try it. It's fun.

[MrDoncos]

Arsenal football club will be coming out to this for the now season

[DariusBlue]

@MrDoncos with Wenger and Fabregas in the title roles, of course!

[thekroton]

Fantastic series!it's amazing how good the clip is

with no sound.

[RamBam3000]

Steptoe and Son as a silent! Genius!

(But needs subtitles)

[Tec662]

Absolutely spiffing. Splendid work there chaps. Lol

[Heavymetalpunker92x]

its a norwegian and a swedish version of this show too

[pinkfairygirl86]

I don't understand why the yanks always have to copy us brits. We do it all first then they come along copy us and everyone thinks they are original. Diana Dors so then they had Marilyn Monroe. Steptoe and Son and then they made Sanford and Son. The Beatles and then they had The Monkey's. Billie Piper then they came up with Britney Spears. The Office so they made The Office US. Oh and another thing America hasn't come up with a great comedy since the 1960's IMO.

[doktorsawade]

@pinkfairygirl86 did diana dors really precede monroe? blimey...

[manicmacintosh]

@pinkfairygirl86 Well you're clearly a complete fuckwit.

[manicmacintosh]

Well you're clearly a complete fuckwit.

[gamewizard]

@pinkfairygirl86

What? So Britain has the monopoly on sexy blond haired women now? That will come as news to the Swedes. And how is Britney Spears in any way a copy of Billie Piper? If anything, Billy Piper is a copy of Fergie from Black Eyed Peas. Oh, and I also suppose that Law & Order UK is original, eh?

[mfctom300]

nice song too have a shit too

[Redeyedvampire1]

they play this at a horse show to walk the showjumping course they all walk in time to it its hilarious

[pinkfairygirl86]

This theme cracks me up, it's so funny.

[kiss904]

interstellar overdrive

[HAETMUNGOR]

stop arguing, steptoe and sanford are both good.

same goes for the uk and us versions of 'the office'

*awaits crucifixion*

[TheJoey207]

wow its a ok song but not as good as Sanford and sons song or show but some what funny ig if you looking for a good moment in tv look up pwgm or bugs bunny vs rick flair note there's 2 pwgm clips on you tube by thejoey207 so if u watch them leave comments as a lot of time went in to there making over a 1000 hours

[dracula0091]

wilfred brambell was gay and he was an alchoholic and did not want to continue with this that is why it eneded. the other one had a heart attack and died.

[hopki65]

as a real and and bone man

this was my inspiration

[NyeTunes]

Not quite as memorable (to my American ears) as the iconic U.S. theme that Quincy Jones (I think?) did, but still interesting to hear a non-Doctor Who Ron Grainer theme...

And I just realized, this inspired the theme in Monty Python's "Up Your Pavement" sketch! :-)

[matt2house]

ron grainer did this theme tune as well.

[Karrenola]

I'm American too, and I say that though Sanford and Son was great, there's nothing in this world like the original and BEST, Steptoe and Son. It is so unusual to have superior writing, outstanding performances, great direction AND a classic-in-its-own-time theme song ALL in one show! Keep the fandom alive!

[cruisincat62]

love loading scrap metal onto a truck with this playing, or just sorting through junk - long live totter boys.

[TheRealRoutemaster]

Oh wow, wow, wow. So young and in a different country but remember so well!

[121Swaleskid]

absolutley awesome, thanks, just listening to the tune makes me a little sad inside =(

RIP both of them

[VidVillan]

If you live with an elderly relative try playing this whenever they walk past.

[jasbk]

hahah! brilliant! will do that next time im round my dads!

[markc75]

This comment made me laugh harder than I have in a while!

[princessjodii]

@VidVillan OMG! I spat out my cheerios when i read your comment! Haha! I imagine the song in my head when my grandma & grandad are in the garden! :D

[TylerLav118118]

@VidVillan I will when my 87 year old gran walks past LOL

[kashigata]

@VidVillan Hysterical comment. I choked on me cuppa!

[RayBushfox]

I remember hearing a dixieland jazz version of this on a local TV station many years ago here in Melbourne. It was a fantastic version, I have never heard it since.

[smegzchillin]

this is my riing tone i love this xx

[bettypro]

WHERE DID YOU ORDER YOUR RING TONE OF THIS/? I guess I could make it huh>?

[smegzchillin]

This si mt RINGTONE!!!!!

[ClassicWorld765]

I love this show. It brilliant and still lives up to today. The laughs are just as good now as they were back then. Timless comedy. All together "You dirty old man!".

[Jimbotfu]

This has to be the sexiest music ever.

[budrock123]

Wilfrid Brambell played Paul's grandfather in A Hard Day's Night

[alphuez]

Am a Yank but grew up in the U.K. -- absolutely loved this show (was about 12 when it started). And yes, this trade was still going strong in certain urban areas. Thank's a ton for posting.

PS: "He's very clean" -- Lennon.

[holmsatlarge]

many north americans missed the joke.steptoe sr. at least once an episode was refered to as" You Dirty Old Man" thus the inside joke.The actor WILFRED BRIMELL plays Paul`s granddad and Steptoe sr..

[TheAlpedHuez]

An example of Lennon's dry wit at its very best, no?  :-)

[holmsatlarge]

Wilfred Brimell!!???early mornings aren`t good for me .his name is right there in the credits!WILFRED BRAMBELL.

[matt2house]

too right there mate, I was debating with an american on another steptoe & son clip (cant remember which one though). he told me straight off the mark that he didnt get the humour. so I explained about the old man being dirty and quite witty, then he turned around and said "oh that's self explanatory". then he started to tell me how sanford & son was better.

[DarkarbiterFilms]

snide tune

[LLScouser]

Lmao is it me or does he look a bit like Teddy Sheringham? hahahaha!

[LLScouser]

I Love this tune haha! kicks ass!

[MadJewelz]

Hi tvtestcard,

I don't suppose you have the original wav [or mp3] of this track do you?

If you do, is there any chance you could send it to me?

i would love to do a remix of this theme more than any other, except perhaps the original theme to "The Bill."

thanks MJ

[matt2house]

"arold...it's arthur"

[LordVespertine]

Don't leave me, 'Arold.

[caramelkid93]
