@10:32-12:17 The best part about this interview for me is the music video that goes along with the song, how the video is not some kind of Rave or club scene or whatever but it's pictures the actual folks from BBC News just going about their day doing their jobs,covering the news. It's so unexpected, so incongruous, not at all what one would expect from the BBC News, yet somehow it's seems to perfectly fit in to the song. It does seem like now that the whole world is one great big hallucination and something like this, it does indeed make you smile and feel emotional and alive.
That remix is a straight banger. Well deserving of the Remix of the Year at the 2020 BBC Radio 1 Lockdown Awards it won. Well done Ben, and well done to the original creator of the BBC News theme, David Lowe.
The BBC was most recently associated in the 1950s with her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the public consciousness. To some, this gives the BBC an elevated standing in the mind’s eye. To me, the magic of this remix is a culmination of the seriousness with which the whole world views BBC news juxtaposed with the example of just one creative spark from one human being, finally validating everyone’s little sparks - whatever they may be. It’s an overall “awwww” moment; and it just so happens the structure of the corporate theme is based upon the one thing every human on this earth can perceive… The passage of time. We are a finite creature, and the passing of one second-one minute-one hour, is something we can all identify with on the most basic level. The passage of time is the one thing that unites all humans-and the propensity to “click” with the masses will be higher on any well-laid-out song with the same tempo. It just so happens this particular one slaps :-)
This should be the opening news theme. If Pendulum can do it (ABC News Australia) this should be the considered as the news theme. Might get more viewers.
No one:
Headline writer: *New News theme meme*
🤣
Yes
The ASTON has had something to drink..
This should be the remix and officially released. such a creative effort
"You 're watching BBC Mykonos News!
Now, back to the clu- I mean to the news..."
(fantastic mix, honestly...)

Those are the images BBC News uses for the actual countdowns before each full hour of broadcast

This needs to be played for NEW YEARS!

Simon is really going to regret going "beep... beep... beep..."
This needs to get played on the New year fireworks display please BBC!
This is Dua Lipa's year, and her album deserves it.
It should also play on every session when the news starts.
James Reidford or our version with screaming guitar solo: ua-cam.com/video/jJ_kyE9t_tY/v-deo.html
Why does it feel like the presenter hates this and wishes it wasn't a thing? It was phenomenal. A great effort by Ben and should be applauded.
Because he's old and doesn't get it. "It's just beep beep beep"
No Greg James, this is not silly. Ben Howell is a ledge!!
The interviewer is savage
TWiP - Simon McCoy. He's a legend!
3:18 Simon McCoy: Greg can you answer my question Greg James: Oh sorry Simon
Sounds like Sophie Rayworth 😅😅
BBC i beg you to make this official
I love it how the BBC still makes it sound negative 😂
"the man responsible"
I think I'm obsessed. I absolutely love this 😍🤩😍🤩
It’s a bop.
Props to the headline writer
Please upload it in Spotify
What surprised me most is how they gave 12minutes of air time for this!
Release it as a charity single for the NHS!
The BBC do not care!
They Can’t due To Copyright. If Dua Lipa allows it then They can release it
This is actually the best version of .....................Hallucinate...................great job...........Mr Howell.............
"Greg, is my show, can you answer the question?"
OMG xD xD xD xD
There's some very clever people out there. Mr McCoy is loving it as well!
Just fantastic!
Bill Bailey did this nearly 20 years ago!
This is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
This should be the opening news theme. If Pendulum can do it (ABC News Australia) this should be the considered as the news theme. Might get more viewers.
HALLUCINATE
Actually this is kind of good maybe quarantine maybe is the key
I want it on spotify 😃😃😃
Greg and Ben are fire!!!
Ben H dua lipa is one of my favourites..
Holy fuck I knew Simon McCoy said he was going to do this, didn't know he actually did it.
Awesome
I do listen to it and sometimes on repeat.
3:45 Everyone: Listens to the interview
Me: Listens to the remix in the background
Sorr thats actually a bop.
Duo Lipa Rocks - thanks BBC for recogniising it but please use it....
So - the Dua Lipa mix with the weatherman drummer ... at least once a day at a predictable time ... right?
Please make this the song that plays on the BBC following 2021 new year
Ben did Such a Great fucking Remix.
Every single time, every Prime Minister, dies in the UK. The BBC would just change the logo, or sometimes go dark entirely.
DUA LIPA
Me fav things! together!
Superb!!!!
A David Lowe remix !!
God that Simon is so negative!
Well done Ben!
BEN HOWD MADE IT =D [to those who hadnt watch his og video watch it]
It was cute...
why this slap tho
Ben is a genius
Creative fella
😂😂 so dope
How the fuck has this made the news??!
If you are going to change the theme, probably a good idea to revamp the BBC first.
One eye symbolism
Bill bailey did a remix first
Hmm not really.
Hmm, yes he did...

Bill Bailey remix is crackingly good jolly fun for the apocalypse.
Let's make another theme song for bbc New Theme with BTS music. I think this could be a huge legendary project music.
Ruined in 2024 by Hugh Edwards 😂
