Three very different bands today, with one thing in common - they write their own theme tune and sing their own theme tune.
No waffling, let's get straight into it with The Monochrome Set's eponymous theme song, which was released as a single on Rough Trade back in 1979.

To find out more about The Monochrome Set, visit their official website or myspace page. Also have a listen to lead singer Bid's current band Scarlet's Well and bassist Andy's Would-Be-Goods.
Next we have a band whose name takes longer to say than their songs take to listen to. Well...almost! I present the All Girl Summer Fun Band's Theme Song:
All Girl Summer Fun Band - Theme Song mp3 (available for 7 days)
If you hear their songs and want to hear them again, visit the All Girl Summer Fun Band's website where you can buy both their albums (which are bloody brilliant!). They've lost a member to motherhood since I last checked in and apparently a new album is in the works. Exciting!
Finally here's previously blogged about The Hi-Life Companion's Hi-Life Theme.
The Hi-Life Companion - Hi-Life Theme mp3 (available for 7 days)
Hear more at their myspace page and find out when The Hi-Life Companion's album will be released (soon please, chaps!) from their website.
Are there any other notable theme tunes I should know about? (aside from The Monkees, obviously!)
