BBC coverage theme music

[spikytom]

So the BBC always use a little snippet of a particular song for the links in their Glastonbury coverage. Last year it was the jingly riff from Uprising by Muse, can't remember what it was in 2009. It always ends up really grating on me by the time i've caught up on all the coverage because they use it all the time.

I guess it makes sense that the song chosen is from a band playing at the festival, so what will it be this year? I'm convinced it'll be U2 - an excerpt from either Beautiful Day or Elevation.

(PS apologies for the extreme Glasto geekery, slow day at work! )

2009 was kasabian fire.

[Spindles]

One day like this, Elbow. Clear cut, imo.

[king_oxymoron]

Elevation by U2 isn't a bad shout...

As an outside guess, The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

If not the main BBC song, they'll use it over at least one highlights package.

[Wirephil]

Unlikely but if it was my job I would go for Wreckin' Bar - The Vaccines

[tigger123]

Def a U2 song, they wanna make it as public as possible that they're playing the festival and choosing a song by them as the theme music would def be a way of promoting U2, they're gonna use every single possible promotion thing to promote them as they never really play festivals

Nah ... it'll be QOTSA, No One Knows.

Wasn't it Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool?

[Liam13th]

U2- Vertigo (The last chord of the song that is used on EVERYTHING)

[redmosquito]

One day like this, Elbow. Clear cut, imo.

[ukslim]

They have Glastonbury on TV?

[Filthy]

and uninspiring "Crazy in love" I'd have thought

[devonhammer]

I don't think Friendly Fires played in 2008

[Alcatraz]

They definitely played

[audio farm]

id say beyonce crazy in love.. can just imagine it.. not that'd be my choice

[Alcatraz]

How about a bit of Wu Tang?

Reckon it could be two door cinema club

[BuriedBones]

It hasn't been decided yet - editorial team will come with package and run time examples by 9th June... watch this space.
