Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

Today, a song which was the theme tune for a programme that was on years ago, came into my head.

These are some of the words and it was set in Argentina.

‘Aye, Aye the beat is crazy.. suku, suku is everywhere....’

Can anyone remember?

Some kind of animal programme - Zoo Time?

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

I don't remember the programme but I do remember the tune, "singing" it now!
Just googled and Nina and Frederik sang it, among others.

Could this be the programme, Top Secret?

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

Yes, Judd, that’s the song but it was sung by someone else at the beginning of the programme, that l can’t remember the name?.

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

Top Secret? I’m not sure about that? Glanny. It doesn’t seem to ring a bell but then again, it was so long ago l might not even remember it if you told me!

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

Glanny is correct. After a bit of research, it was used as the theme tune for Top Secret. The theme was by Laurie Johnson...

Song was actually written by Tarateno Rojas...

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

The one l watched had the words being sung in the opening of the programme. The Laurie Johnson theme doesn’t have words?
I don’t remember Nina and Fredrick singing it. I’m sure it showed cattle at the beginning of the programme. It wasn’t Rawhide, as l remember that theme tune!

Re: Can Anyone Remember The Name Of This Television Programme?

The tune was a hit and still remains memorable:



but the series has sunk without trace. William Franklyn (and his voice) went on to on to star in ""Schhh... You Know Who" and make multiple appearances on TV and radio until 2005.

I vaguely remember the series as rather "hammy" and not a patch on "Crane", a series set in Morocco, starring Patrick Allen, Sam Kydd and the lovely Laya Raki, that followed it a year or two later:

Frederik Jan Gustav Floris, Baron van Pallandt was a Danish-Dutch singer best known as the male, guitar-playing half of the singing duo Nina & Frederik, which was together from the late 1950s to the late 1960s.

According to IMDB Top Secret was set in S.America, didn't you say Artangel it was set in Argentina?
