Who did the music for TDT?

I always assumed Morris himself wrote and performed it all, but now I just thought maybe not. I now assume he wrote the parodies and got collaborators in to do the music. I have had and still have no basis for these assumptions whatsoever.

So who did what?

I've had Uzi Lover in my head all day. Never gets old.

Morris, in collaboration with Jonathan Whitehead, who also seems to have worked on music for most British comedy post 1994 according to wiki:

Ah, cheers!

Once a month
You become a slave
To a tidal wave
Body's little clock
Could mess up your frock

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Some stock music seems to have been used for stings and montages.

Someone mentioned finding the backing to USA 94 (gooooooaaaaaaal) on a dance compilation.

I would genuinely love to get my hands on a collection of Whitehead's collected works. Some of his shit is utterly mental, like the stuff Jones is always playing in Nathan Barley, or the music people hear when they take Cake on the BrassEye "Drugs" episode. He also did the "This is Outrageous" tune from Peep Show.

Oh yeah definitely, just checked out his wiki page, that's quite a cv. So apparently he's also the guy that did the black books theme tune, which is possibly my favourite sitcom theme ever

That theme always reminds me of Tom Wait's Rain Dogs album. Just the overall vibe is very similar.

I always thought the Black Books Theme was a spikier rip-off of the melody/solo from The Beatles' And I Love Her.

If by vibe you mean the lot.

People around here told me it was 'cop' not 'cunt' which has slightly ruined it for me.

I'm sure it's 'cop' as Morris was most likely saritising the controversy surrounding NWA's Fuk Da Police.

He is, yes, but he's also parodying the over-use/edgy use of swearing. I've always assumed that he says cock, as the entire line is just a string of profanities.

Didn't Morris have a few songs with (presumably) a pretty quick turnaround on his radio 1 music show? Iirc they were usually just him singing over some other song but I imagine these were generally a case that Morris figured out a general structure and sung it then whitehead was tasked with putting music to it that both fit and didn't overwhelm the lyrical content.


Did Whitehead do the Trashbat Rap? I quite like all the sampling going on in it
