And so to tonight’s excitement in this: the 2014 Summer of Excitement, we thank Tom B for discovering this and sending it in our direction – Luca Orioli’s Avanti un Altro soundtrack EP is on iTunes for £2.49, five tracks INCLUDING the title sequence, the bit where they fish for a scroll (three minutes long and wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Fort Boyard in the 90s. Also: Mike Oldfield.), the quiz bed that plays throughout the entire show AND ALSO THE GIOCHI FINAL 21 QUESTIONS WRONG MUSIC (without a ticking clock, although I’m sure the more clever amongst you might be able to solve that issue).
It’s all gone a bit quiet on UK adaptation The Next One, a large part of me sort of hopes it’s dead in the water so it can’t be stuffed up. But you never know. And don’t worry Bonolis fans! He’s back in charge when it comes back in September.
Same guy seems responsible for the recent Italian Wheel of Fortune soundtrack. Amazing.

Was my pleasure to bring this to everyone’s attention, with all the buzz the AUA! page got, I figured it’d be totally daft of me not to share this 🙂
It’s also on Spotify, by the way.

Off topic, and very late – someone’s probably picked up on this a long time ago, but I can’t find anything in the comments so here goes…has anyone else noticed that the “new” Michael Jackson song has borrowed a bit of “Bob’s Full House” theme tune? Have a listen just before the final chorus, there’s a little musical ramp (don’t even know if that’s a real thing, but it seems appropriate!) which sounds like the start of Bob’s…here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG08ukJPtR8 – about 3m 15s into the song!
A bit of a reach, but I like it. (Anyone else think it’s a bit Luuuucky Ladders as well?)
Reigning champ of this is Iain Weaver’s comparison of Girls Aloud’s The Promise to Blankety Blank.
The drumbeat in the I’m a Celebrity theme is a sample from a remix of Let’s Hear it for the Boy.
