I recently found out this gem existed, since I'm from South America we mostly get shows from the US and also from Spanish speaking countries. When I saw a couple of episodes I ordered the DVDs and I'm loving it, I've laughed so much. I got so used to the DVD theme song that the original sounds weird to me now, lol, but it's still a great show.
It's the original theme, use for all episodes in the first 6 series. A lot of the music in the current re-releases of the original series has been changed. E.G, when Jack and Victor are out around Loch Lomond in the car, the original music was Ron Goodwin's theme from Miss Marple. I think I'm correct in saying that during the montage of Isa and Winston faking their relationship to thwart Harry's efforts to win Isa back, "She" by Charles Aznavour was playing, and whilst Isa is updating Archie on all the news from decades ago to the then-current moment, "Piston Rod" was the music used. I understand that the music was changed in the DVD versions and re-releases on Netflix due to copyright issues. Personally, it isn't quite right without the original music used as it was all very fitting and added to the comedy of the scenes. The original releases of the still game are the ones I grew up with as a teenager.
@@mrfredwilford I know, but it’s still “Cuban Boy”. I’m less bothered about it being the same tune played by a different bunch of people than I am it being some royalty-free MIDI nonsense.
@@mrfredwilford Actually mate, I'm talking about the DVD releases, which were how I first saw Still Game, and which swapped the theme tune for this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zQNrafn0Efg.html
@@kasterborous1701 is there an echo in here? im talking about the videocassette release that was released the same time had the cuban boy mix while the dvd release had the soundalike possibly due to the lack of funds used for the video release instead
Your referring to the second theme which began use in the 4th or 5th series, the dvd's of the earlier series had this superior theme. Maybe it's only on the early releases which I have
The by far...the new one looks and sounds rubbish...infact the last 2 series were not great. This was done after series 6. They should have left it at that. The episode gadgets was ok so I'll give that a by👍 but after that dreadful...unfunny...clearly out of ideas.
