Hitting a controversial topic this week. Limber up your feedback fingers because there is a boatload of cultural bias in this one.
It’s a big sports week this week with the start of NCAA March Madness (basketball) and the ICC Twenty20 World Cup (cricket).
I’ve been auditioning sporting theme tunes for musical merit.
I’m sorry, America, but your sporting theme tunes for the most part stink, with the notable exception of the theme from Monday Night Football, originally known as the theme tune from Superstars, 1970s contest of (mostly permed, mustachioed) multi-disciplinary sportsmen.
It was a close call with “Pop Looks Bach” by Sam Fonteyn, but the winner is … Booker T and the MGs “Soul Limbo”, the theme for Test Match Special, the world’s premier cricket show.
