Those who remember me, will know that I was working on the Top Gear website when it got that refresh, new studio and altered title sequence. Well, during that time there was also a new theme tune comissioned. Which Jeremy hated. I've written about it, and posted a video, if you're interested!

Hope you find this fun!
 
They can use that for TopGear Japan......good they never used it for our beloved TG UK :D
 
It sounds like a kid in his bedroom took a couple of elements from Jessica and tried to make it into Paul Oakenfold's "Ready Steady GO!".

Now, if they actually got Paul Oakenfold to do it........ well, I for one reckon that could sound totally awesome.

As it is. Not good and very glad Jeremy made it go away.
 
They actually use the end bars for the "Best of" specials.
 
Oh yea, what RaphEmer said on the "hair" thing! +1

The music COULD have worked for a BRAND NEW show, but Jessica is so iconic, I can't see them ever letting it go.
 
the hair blowing on (who I presume is) james may makes him look like he's a female model in a shampoo commercial.

edit - also, it wouldnt work now, clarkson has no where near as much hair now.
 
That's cool! Thanks for posting that!

It's decent, but doesn't fit Top Gear. Cool to learn about this though. :D
 
Not good, mate. :(
 
Very cool to learn about, but it's a bit obvious why Jeremy didn't like it :) Thanks for sharing!
