You can find surprisingly strange things at Sainsbury’s this Halloween, according to this TV ad, featuring a singing pumpkin head, plus various costumes and treats. The distinctive song will be familiar to children of the early 90s, as it’s the theme tune from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation TV show Round the Twist, which was shown here in the UK on BBC1. The show was about three children who live in a lighthouse and get involved in fantastic and bizarre adventures. The memorable theme song, beginning with the lyrics “Have you ever, ever felt like this?”, was composed by Andrew Duffield and sung by Tamsin West, who played Linda Twist in the first season of the show. A version of the song can be found on the Coded Channel Remember the Themes Vol. 2 compilation, and is available to download on iTunes. You can see the song played over Round the Twist’s opening and end credits below. You can also get the complete DVD box set on Amazon.
