Can't help I'm afraid, I presume you have tried Google? On a similar note I would love the old boxing theme music the BBC used in the 80's.

I liked the music from when Sky MOVIES used to show the big American fights in the early 90s.

I quite miss the old theme tune from "Big Time Boxing" that Sky had for the big fights through the 90's. If I was ever struggling to find the enthusiasm for a fight, that 20 second intro normally sorted me out.

Lol it's quite amusing to hear everyone enthusiastic about theme tunes...I thought it was just me who liked them...

OT, nothing beats grand prix or snooker on BBC does it?

Those old theme tunes often get the hair standing up on the back of my head, reminding me of being a kid, staying up late after being excited all day. Nice bit of nostalgia

There's an old Goal of the Month theme I've been looking for from a few years back...it was after The Life of Riley days...it was a sort of bluesy-pulp fiction type music. If anyone knows what I'm talking about I'd be eternally grateful.

Can't believe ITV dropped the song after teasing us with it a few times since their return.

The ITV one before that was quite cool aswell.

Gray-Fox I think I know which song your on about - but cannot help.

It was a woman singing wasn't it?

No, but I know which one you mean too.

The one I mean must be a pretty big song as it's even been in an episode of the Simpsons...I guess I'll just have to wait until I hear it on there again :(

I even liked the most recent BBC one and remember feeling quite sad when it began what we all knew was going to be their last broadcast.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but please can I ask if anyone knows of a link to a video of the old Sky Movies fights with the 'Some Like it Hot' at the start with a montage of knock downs?
Thank you,

Also remember an old sky montage done to "another one bites the dust" may have been Tyson KOs
