Fighting Talk - Music and Sound Effects

Music and Sound Effects

The show's distinctive theme tune comes from the track Sabotage by Beastie Boys, which first appeared on their 1994 album Ill Communication. The segment used is from the middle of the track. The song was replaced with a different version due to contractual reasons in 2010, but made a one-off appearance on the 5 May 2012 episode as a tribute to MCA (aka Adam Yauch), who had died the day before aged 47 and to whom that episode was dedicated.

The music usually playing while the host gives the scores is the theme from the British TV show The Professionals, and during the final segment Defending the Indefensible, the theme from the Rocky series, Gonna Fly Now, is used.

Other sound effects used throughout each show include the various pundit themes; the theme from Allo Allo; Planet Funk's Chase the Sun; the German, Italian and American national anthems; the Indiana Jones theme; and The Lonely Man from The Incredible Hulk, among others.

    La la la, Oh music swims back to me

    the night they left me

    some petals fall
    with that sound one
    listens for....
