I've wanted someone to skate to "Victoria's Secret" from Due South (90's TV show) for 20 years. I have it all choreographed for a pair in my head.

Kinda hijacking but I found this gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYWRYWIzIh8
And ofc, there's Will Ferrell skating to Downton Abbey.

Personally, I think it's difficult for TV soundtracks to be used since they could easily become campy/junior-ish.

Oh, you bad Italian person!

I thought of "Gummi Bears" this morning, but couldn't be bothered looking for the video at the time!!! And then you got in first!

Loved that programme, and think it would make a great skating routine.

My apologies, CaroLiza_fan. :
I'm happy I found another fan of "Gummi Bears" here on GS. It was a great show.
In the Italian version the theme is the same, but lyrics are silly, whereas I like all those alliterations in the original version.

Back on topic, I like The Penguins Of Madagascar theme, even if it's too short for a skating program.

ETA The Rose of Versailles theme is so haunting

The moment I saw this thread I laughed so hard!

We have a commercial in my country that is pretty much a classic, and is promoting a chocolate milk brand. Ever since it came on air they used the music of "Bolero". :yes:

So.. there you go. porobably the most iconic commercial in Israel.. haha as if we need another "Bolero" program.

Who was your favourite Planeteer? Mine was Ma Ti (if that’s how it’s spelt!). He was so caring about, well, everything that you couldn’t help but like him, and want to be him.

Although, I did like Linka too, probably because she was very pretty! Come to think of it, Linka was probably the first Russian I came across, so it must be her fault that I have a thing for Russian girls now!

I LOVED Power Rangers. Tommy (the Green Ranger) was my favourite Ranger, and Goldar was my favourite baddie. Although, whereas all the other guys fancied Kimberly (the Pink Ranger), I fancied Scorpina. I would go as far as to say that Ami Kawai, who played her, was my first celebrity crush!

My favourite Planeteer was Linka, and Wheeler! I think I shipped those two before I even knew what "shipping" was

In fact, it was so long ago, that it wasn't until I was on Youtube recently that I realised there was a discrepancy between the two Captain Planet series' intros...the original said, "From the Soviet Union, Linka..."! I guess that shows how old the first series was! In the second series, it was changed to "From Eastern Europe, Linka..."

I always wanted to be the yellow Power Ranger. I lost track of the series' after a while - I loved the original where they had the dinosaur Megazords.

I think Yulia with her light, ethereal skating could pull it off...

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun theme for an exhibition would be so cute.

I always love The Incredible Hulk theme: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...&mid=BDF86959790A932603A8BDF86959790A932603A8

Followed by the ending Lonely Man theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzMSfaNXYZg


In fact I used to skate with this on my Ipod.

Then again the theme from The Muppet Show is catchy, though it has already been done before. lol. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko71UFJpvME

For some reason I just think it would be cool to see someone skate to the Andy Griffith Show theme song "the Fishing Hole". Just a good old whistling song with some finger snapping.

I'm still waiting for someone to do a Game of Thrones program that I like. In my head, I see a free dance with a "dragons in flight" theme.
All I have to do is learn to skate and choreograph. Right?

Brezina did one last season. Whether you liked it or not, that's one thing. But this seems to me the most obvious TV theme that would be appropriate for figure skating.
