This Morning with Nick, Sean and JDB

Like many others here there's been something bugging me about recent singles like It's Not War and Show Me The Wonder, and I think I've finally put my finger on it... they're not just going after the Radio 2 demographic, the Manics seem to be actively pitching for a career composing ITV daytime theme tunes.

To highlight this worrying trend I've put together this video.

'Daytime TV jingle' was my initial reaction when I heard 'It's Not War' for the first time.

And when the strings kick in it's like 'NOW TIME FOR THE NEWS... BUT ONLY THE NICE NEWS!'

I'm a bit annoyed I couldn't strip the vocal from the Show Me The Wonder chorus, that's the section I intended to use but the choir of JDBs would not be silenced.

heheh, I think a lot of us thought it, you made it real! Funny stuff. I like both songs, but I completely hear where you're coming from.

The 'This Morning' theme is far better than that Chic rip-off.

Great video. Still like Its Not War though. But I also rate the This Morning theme tune, so that probably doesn't count for much!

I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up

Death to monetaries!
