ITV-F1 theme
I have noticed a few people searching for the theme music to the ITV coverage of F1.
Well here we are, it's 'Lift Me Up' by Moby.
Downloads for your phones : Midi , WMA (Windows Mobile) or MP3
I also have the BBC 'Original' F1 music, here in MP3
If you like the song, then grab the album
(P.S. Sorry about the broken link in the BBC tune, should be fixed now)

I watched the highlights of F1 last night and they have used a new them tune - not Moby - the lyrics that were repeated most were 'turn me on' and it is a house/dance song which I love but cannot find what it is - can anyone help? Tks.
That's the Moby tune.
Do you also know the tune that was used before the Moby one?
The one before Moby was actually a specifically written theme by jamiroquai. It's never actually been released, I believe it was called Speed or something similar.
I will try to hunt it down.

Ya what was the name of that tune called it was a girl singing it all i could make out ws ho ha,
The theme that was in the Rugby as well was Start Something by the LostProphets perhaps? not sure as I don’t tend to watch much Rugby.
Anyone got the OLD FIA intro, as was used or ears and years before someone decided to change it to the current multi-coloured swooshy thing, which is pretty poor
I know this a F1 Blog but I was wondering if any1 knows what the WRC theme tune is called (if anything) and who its by? Used on Eurosport and I think also ITV. Cant seem 2 find anything out about it!
Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.
Hope that helps

I’ve got the Fleetwood Mac tune - “the Chain” - bloody brilliant - that bass riff is now my phone ringtone
Anyone know where I can find a video download of the new ITV F1 Intro trailer, the one where the type appears in sinc with the commentator?
Cheers
hi me and my mate was watchin f1 qulifin yesterday and there was a song on there does anyone know wot its called? we have been lookin every where for it
I’m also looking for this music from the new F1 promo.
It’s used on the promo trailer, with the red, black and white typeface animated to fit the overdub. It’s a sweeping string thing with a fat baseline.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Bob
Here is a puzzler for you… in the old days of F1 on the BBC, when Murray used to go through the grid, there always used music in the background, it was not the theme tune to F1 but more of a techno sound - can yo help ?
Thanks
Jay
Going back 10 years ago, when ITV did its first F1 season. In Jerez, they did a feature that showed some of the moments of the ITV season to a dance-type backing track. Haunted me for ages, always wanted to know what it’s called. It sounds like Delerium/Tin Tin Out and has a good beat behind it with a ‘whoa-hah-hey’ vocal-line behind it
Any help tracking it down would be appreciated. Think it’s the same one that Saville and Nicolle are looking for
Cheers
I’ll have a look about see what I can find out.
BBC used Columbia by Oasis at one time (95 I think in review of the season) and also they have used Favourite Game by The Cardigans. Check them in case its one of them.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me please. The F1 programme today, about 30 minutes in, they did a montage of Lewis Hamilton’s pole qualifier from yesterday. Does anyone know the music they played over it. Thank you.
I’ve had a dig about for the tune name, it rings a bell, but I just cant put my finger on what it is. For now I’ve encoded the montage and popped it here for ya.

No problems Lily
Paul, have you had a look at this and this. It might be what your looking for?
Off topic again, but does anyone know of a place where you can download the theme from the old Rally Report programme that was on the BBC - this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CGt_1AFsjU&mode=related&search= - Wanted it as a ringtone. Any help gratefully recieved!

“Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.”
In response to the above, the PearlFisher music content of this composition was an original recording using live singers and orchestra and WAS NOT a sample.
There are plans to make this track along with other TV sports themes by Steve DuBerry available in the near future
Ya Paul that is the tune i was looking for driving me mad if it helps ashleigh it was also used on ITV at the end of the french Gp in 98 or 99 season for there When Murray Walker was to go in a Mclaren Two seater with Martin Brundle Please help?
Wow, that’s going back… I’ll have a dig about and see what I can find, The murray and Brundel two seater drive is listed on “Murray Walker’s F1 Greats” DVD, I’ll have a look what audio is on the DVD, might just be the ITV feed.
Well I am looking for the theme music that they showed at the end of 2004 season on star sports, wherein they showed the entire seasons summary in a short 2-3 minute clip with a background music that I have searching since that year. It would be really Kind if anyone even knows the name of that track…
Please let me know if anyone of you get it..
PLEASE DO…
Thank You
Hi Matt,
I think music to the rally coverage is by Propaganda and was called 1234

hey i am wondering if anybody knows the them music for the latest F1 ad? it sounds a little like sander klinenberg! i hope sombody knows the name thanks.
Does anyone know the classical piece that is usually played after the podium ceremony.
Its quite fast - dit dit didadida dit dit didadida dit dit didadida-der.
does that make sence?
Anyone know…?
Before the race, ITV showed some VT with Lewis, Fernando & Kimi giving them the subtitles “ROOKIE”, “CHAMPION” & “ICE MAN” iirc - it has some nice bassy punchy music set to it, does anyone know what that’s called & if it’s available?
Doesn’t matter!
I’m told it’s: Amerie - Gotta work
Sorry, I lied; it’s ‘Genesis’ by Justice.
I’ll rip it off to WMV at somepoint shortly for anyone that wants to download it, as I know not all broadcasters used it.
For how long will F1 bosses continue to think that fans are so gullible and naive? After qualifying on pole for the last race in Brazil, Fillipe Massa in an interview with Itv said: I’ll play my part but it’s up to the McLaren boys to play their part.
Does that mean, all collaborating to ensure a Raikonen win? After all he’s been trying to win the Championship for years now and Lewis could take a backseat.
In !997, when Jaques Villneuve won the drivers Championship for Williams, after Schumacher slammed his Ferari into his Williams, it was decided, that Hakinen should win the race. He’s after all, been in formula 1 for a long time, without winning a single race by then.
Writing some few years back,the Sunday Times Magazine had this to say: ‘Sponsorship has replaced the swashbuckling dare-devil as the persona of the modern grand prix driver. Laden down by a quilt of advertising logos masquerading as race overalls, the press conference reveals them to be what in most cases have become prepackaged and corporate spin.’
We have not been so gullible or naive as Ecclestone and others have been thinking after all!

Go to http://www.geocities.com/trevchris2003/INTERACTIVE.html for the WRC theme. I’m not sure of the quality of the recording though. The sound range isn’t very good so perhaps its been recorded off the telly with a mike?
I’ll pull the audio of this weekend’s broadcast of the WRC for those that want it.
Does anyone have a downloadable avi or wav of the Moby tune?
Paul and Nicolle check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXTYuDzjsk&feature=related it called F1 1997 SEASON REVIEW BY ITV.
I think its called Ajare by Way out West
Does anyone know the name of the rock band who perform for the Sony advert (the one with the orange muscle car) which sponsors F1 on ITV?
Thanks
John, that is what I was going to ask. It’s really been bugging me as the band sounds familiar. I kept thinking it was Deep Purple but I’m not sure. Does anyone know?
It’s Iron Maiden, Can I play with Madness. JFYI
It’s the one with the cool video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLvBwPOjZWI
can anybody help me with the tune that was used at the start of the f1 1991 season review video. been looking for ages and cant work it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwUzzybL8A0
cheers
Hey, can anyone temme what is the song that plays after the podium ceremony in the F1 races? like during the champagne spraying?
