You Bet! Theme Music - Full Version (The Brucie Button Mix)

A Cut & Thrust challenge from one of my subscribers... to create a full version of the You Bet! theme music. Challenge achieved - no forfeit! Phew.
You Bet! was a British game show that aired In the UK on ITV between 1988 and 1997 and was produced by LWT (London Weekend Television). Initially hosted by Bruce Forsyth (and Ellis Ward) from 1988 to 1990, it was also hosted by Matthew Kelly from 1991 to 1995 and finally by Darren Day from 1996 to 1997.
If you remember Bruce hosting the show, then you’ll no doubt remember his “rap” where he would shout to the audience and they would reply. I wanted to include it in this mix but I couldn’t find a complete version of it. What I did find was Bruce doing the rap with a child contestant (Series 2 Episode 8 - 18th March 1989) and Bruce is speaking more softly (the way in which adults talk to kids) and I think it actually sounds better!
I’ve also included some of Bruce’s other catchphrases including “make your bet”, “we’ll be back in a bit - you can bet on it” and “have you found your Brucie button?”, also from 1989.
The theme music is by Jonathan Sorrell and it is a great piece of music that builds the excitement with ever key change.
Thanks to KuddlyKen (a subscriber) for suggesting this as a remix.

Ellis Ward my bleeding heart🤩😍🥰💗

When Matthew Kelly the show got better but Darren day the show went downhill when he took over the theme was changed too

[@whizzalloverthecity]

I love a little Brucie rap freestyling... that's made my day. What do you think about a remix of the ultimate Brucie rap in "Takeover Bid"?

[@CutThrust]

I’ll have a listen 😊

[@plymography]

This was a great theme tune. Nice mix!

[@msimpson7910]

Guess I'll stop looking for a 'clean' version of the Brucie Rap for you then! As always, Mr C&T excellent work. The Play Your Cards Right remix is still 'peak' Bruce, but this will go on the repeated playings for a while. Lovely stuff.

[@CutThrust]

Great suggestion to use the Brucie rap 👍Thanks for looking for me…it wasn’t easy to find

[@TheEllawayShow]

'kin 'ell.....you've only gone and done it again! Top work matey!

[@bletheringfool]

My history teacher used to throw text books at us from his desk. He said he was practicing to go on You Bet. He wanted them to land on each of our desks in front of us. He was good but never went on the show

[@CutThrust]

Ha! Brilliant 😆

[@adamrj7286]

I thought this was the theme when both Matthew Kelly and Bruce did it?....

[@mercuryvapoury]

It was, though the 1988 series had a different theme.

[@garethflattery3010]

I never knew Bruce did this show I only know Matthew Kelly

[@TheEllawayShow]

I'm on the fifth play of this....it's so goooooood!

[@CutThrust]

Yay! Thank you 😊

[@TheEllawayShow]

@@CutThrust See now I have to find a tougher one for you.... 😀

[@TheEllawayShow]

In fact....i've just thought of 2....Terry and June.....'Allo 'Allo....

[@CutThrust]

@@TheEllawayShow Ha! Brilliant. They are going on the list!

[@TheEllawayShow]

@@CutThrust Oh and i've edited my game of Peggle to replace Ode To Joy....sounds better kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ2soZSCoN2Vm5I

so good

[@WilliamMorris]

This is so great!

[@rickmcwhirter4990]

When I was training to be an entertainer for Airtours, they suggested we play the original when getting people out of the audience to take part in Man of the Week or Battle of the Sexes or whatever

[@mattcrooke8321]

These are just too damn good 😂😂

[@fairlast9440]

Ah this is great!!

[@gadgetboy1980]

These mixes are absolutely brilliant! Any chance of doing a 90s Generation Game mix or Going for Gold one? Keep up the great work 👍🏻👏🏻

[@CutThrust]

Thanks. Ah yes… the 90s version was good! It’s going on the list 😊

[@gadgetboy1980]

@@CutThrust Awesome!! 👍🏻

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Do you mean 90s Brucie Gen Game, or the theme tune for the Jim Arsehole version?

[@ksonchannel5261]

Can you do the one with the Matthew Kelly Remix?

[@markc8956]

And the Darren Day one! I loved the 1997 theme! Not as good as the original but still catchy!

[@jamesdelboy]

If I remember rightly Bruce would have to do a forfeit

[@Ian16545]

Don't forget that this was the U.K.'s version of Germany's _Wetten, Dass..?_ (which debuted in '81). Too bad Frank Elstner and Thomas Gottschalk never could come up with stuff as witty as Brucie's!
