2. The old Gay Byrne Late Late theme tune was understated but instantly recognisable

3. That trad song over Liveline is actually a song by Stockton’s Wing called Stockton’s Wing – Over The Moor

Jiggin’ for Joe.

4. The synth-pop style of Blackboard Jungle

5. And the strangely catchy number that heralded the beginning of Kenny Live

6. The dulcet melodies of Wanderly Wagon

7. The 1996 Fair City opening titles

And the same song now, just cleaner:

12. The “definitely Irish kids singing this” feel to The Morbegs

13. The ever present Marian Finucane radio show music

14. The bongos/trad mash-up that was Ros Na Rún

15. And finally… The Stone Roses’ intro on The Panel
