Ew why????? It was fine before, I love hearing the theme tune on saturday nights hopefully its not the whole way through or some sort of joke
New Theme Tune
2 of 3
Examples of vocals over theme tunes:
"This is The Voice! Doo doo doo doo"
"Oh yeah! Oh! Yeah! I'm in love! Yeah yeah yeah!" (That's Dancing on Ice's theme tune, probably the most pointless addition of vocals since erm... time began).

An equally frustrating complaint process and only lets you use 50 characters for a complaint - the irony! I gave up on it.

Dilly, bbc doesn't seem to allow outside tweets to appear on their feed line, obviously getting too many complaints

Someone has just tweeted back saying it is a one off for the launch only....

Ew, how horrible! I love the SCD theme tune, and now it's ruined. It's a bit like adding lyrics to the EastEnders or Corrie theme tune.
I don't mind lyrics on The Voice theme tune, as it's new and hasn't ruined anything.

Thank goodness! This has made my day.
It's still pretty pointless but no damage has been done.

A big PHEW! My complaint must have instantly made them change their mind!

I don't feel like partying all night at the moment, but thats not because of the theme tune, I quite like it, sounds like quite a catchy little number.
It sounds to me like they know its diabolical - but didnt want to waste the money spent on it. So theyve just stuck it on for the launch show.
Just stupid. It doesn't need lyrics.
It seems the suits producing today have never heard of less is often better.

Did no one scroll to the bottom of the page below the snippet where it says;
Listen to a snippet of the Strictly Premiere theme tune, which will be used for just ONE NIGHT ONLY on Saturday 15th September!

Oh. Ooops.
That's my fault..... this is what happens why I don't read descriptions! I sincerely apologise everybody.
Love how they've added ONE NIGHT ONLY in block caps and underlined and highlighted it just to make a point.

You have no need to apologise, I also thought it was a new theme tune until I saw that on the page

Which was added way after the OP opened the thread, some might say as a bit of a cop-out by the Beeb after seeing the reaction to it.

It is fecking awful. It isn't new though I heard part of it on Amazon last year on a tv themes compilation. It actually gets worse than that snippet.

I still think my complaint helped so I will take some of the credit lol! Funny that they haven't posted it on their FB page but everything else from the website is on there to see or watch.

Ok, but I bet if everyone said its fantastic they would use it on a regular basis.
Why waste time and money doing it in the first place. Less is better.
