- It's back for 2019! Rick Wakeman's classic "Arthur" opened BBC Election coverage from 1979 to 2005, and after a gap of 3 general elections, it returns this year. The BBC commissioned Rick to rearrange and re-record the track for each election - and according to rumour, the only reason it disappeared in 2010 was because he was fed up of reworking it. My cover is based on the version used in 1992.
And we'll hear this again next week
Bloody hell, that brings back some memories!
That’s a very tough hard rendition for the piano, possibly David Lowe used a keyboard or computer to build the notes, prior to writing for full orchestral scores, none the less, full marks to you for attention to detail, and the notes on those keys 👍.
I saw "Arthur" and for a second I thought he'd play the theme from the cartoon
trust me, you are NOT the only one who thought that. (I assume you realize that when I say that I am specifically talking about myself.) LOL
In a way he did - the cartoon that is British Politics!
Spot-on again!!!!!
The 1992 version was definitely the best.
The story I heard was the BBC wanted to charge Rick Wakeman for the privilege of letting them use it, and he told them to sod off!
Glad he told them to. Bloody mongrels they are.
Is there sheet music to this?
What kind of TV show is this?;
The one where the idiots win
The theme for the election coverage starting at 2155 GMT Thursday the 12 December. It is also the five min warning for the joint broadcasters exit pool. Isop and mori, for sky, ITV, and the BBC. They will have pulled about 20 to 30k people at about 144 polling locations. The results are about Plus or. Minus 2 percent, 19 time out of 20. 1992 it was way off, the poll said hung parliment, instead it was a Tory victory.
It was originally from a BBC program Arthur
@@RoelAdriaans The one where the idiots comment. Like they would have the first clue what to do themselves.
