Is there any music more evocative than the Match of the Day theme?

You remember the first time you heard it, you remember the last time. Surely that's all one can ask of a series of notes and a rockin' bass line?

And now
Motty is commentating. Wish I was playing tomorrow morning.
Yes.
The Ski Sunday theme.
Sports Report!
Der-der, der-der, der-der, der-der, der-duddler-der, der-der
To accompany that, pre-Radio 5:
Yes, it is evocative
It's evocative of this:
When I was a nipper,
I wondered what 'fit-ba' was for ages before the penny dropped.
Yes, as is
The World Of Sport theme, can still see Dickie Davis shuffling his papers as the theme ends and the show starts.
MOTD theme.
Agree, it is very evocative, as is the theme from Coronation street. It has barely changed in over 50 years.
This still pricks up ymy ears

Palovian reaction
This should make you want to get up and switch channels...
And to fully regress to childhood...
MOTD and Ski Sunday are classics
This reminds me of World Cup's in the 80's.
Booker T
provokes memories of summer mornings at Edgbaston on BBC2 with Peter West or Tony Lewis introducing another hammering from the Aussies. How long ago that seems now...
and summer afternoons...
...doing bowling impressions of Bob Willis and Graham Dilley in the back garden. Jumpers for stumps!
Back to school/ work tomorrow
Maybe.....?
Sundays...
Thank God for that
I thought it was going to be the deathly chants of Sing Something Simple for a moment
Back to football, it
is The Big Match theme that does it for me, evocate of Lorimer 1-0, making sure Sunday lunch was finished in time (I was not allowed to leave the table early), and then smashing up yours and the neighbour's garden practising free kicks.
Preceded by Walden's Weekend World
Complete with it's own fantastic theme courtesy of Mountain (in London at least - did the regions get this?).
Loved the Big Match intro with Frank Worthington's great goal being shown over and over. I feel 10 again!
