TV theme covers

Henry of the Bad Detectives has a Blog! Read it here. All music, trash culture and humour - great stuff - latest posting has the Dickies doing the Banana Splits theme song (also covered by the BDs) which is quite a coincidence as we were going through all the old 60s tv theme songs last night wondering what would make a good cover song - obviously I am inclined to the Flashing Blade theme - is Marine Boy too obscure? Susan being a girl was enjoying 'White Horses' and likes the Belle and Sebastian theme we both liked Champion the Wonder Horse and Casey Jones but how about this one? -Here comes the Double Deckers? Pure bubblegum. If you dont know the Double Deckers it was this awful series trying to sell itself to the Yanks about a bunch of kid cliches including obligatory American getting all sorts of typically British japes like staying in haunted stately homes and so forth - awful but the credit sequence is worth a look, honestly.
