theme music sounds familiar to me


The theme tune sounds like some disco song I've heard before, but can't quite put my finger on it. Any ideas?

It was actually written by Matt Berry for the series.

I guess the song that riff reminded me of might be "Right Back to Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckCwBAhz4oc&feature=kp

It's not identical, but mildly similar.

I thought it sounded familiar from somewhere else too.

I swear to god I can't hear it without immediately thinking of Carly Simon's "Nobody does it better" from the Bond film

"A day without laughter is a day wasted" - Charlie Chaplin

Not sure about a disco song, but it's been reminding me of another Matt Berry track- the Julia Davis solo from AD/BC: A Rock Opera (2004). Toast's theme has a suitably more cheery cadence though.
