Songs of Love is the only Divine Comedy song that doesn’t make me want to punch yer man. I actually bought the cassette single of Something for The Weekend despite hating it with the intensity of a thousand suns, cos the b-side was that beauty.
Minus the burning hatred aspect, I bought the CD single of National Express for similar reasons: there's a stunning cover of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity on the b-side.
The Sweeney's melancholic credits win this for me but what are the others?
Using a slowed down or minor key version of your main theme as the closing theme seems a bit of a cheat to me. I remember The Young Doctors [cough] doing the same thing.
The US broadcast of Danger Man (Secret Agent) used the Danger Man theme (High Wire) as closing theme and Johnny Rivers' Secret Agent Man as the main theme. So I reckon that wins.
