This is a normal post Really like this.
Substantially a different song to the (worse) one we're all familiar with though.

This is a normal post whoah.
That song has a lot more history than i thought....

Karl Denver is the earliest version I used to be aware of.

Is it just me, or do the modern version also sound like the Doctor who theme? Think of the 'wimwe' as the bassline, and away you go.

This is a normal post That was Delia Derbyshire's doing.
There was a very good doc on BBC4 a few years ago which showed how she made that effect. Very much worth watching.

This is a normal post I don't think so.
I suppose I'm saying I don't really see it myself.

This is a normal post in your head...
go "awhimaway, awhimaway, awhimaway", and then do the doctor who "a diddle-a-dum, a diddle-a-dum". They are interchangeable.

Then the high pitched part that follows is really similar too.
