The Coronation Street theme tune has remained almost unchanged since the very first episode in1960.
But there were once plans to release a re-worked version with lyrics. It was called Sing Me A Memory. You can listen to it below via the wonders of YouTube.
It has Neil Sean on vocals and was produced by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, two thirds of the Stock, Aitken, Waterman music team, who also wrote the words. Plans to release the song as a single to accompany Coronation Street’s 1997 video spin-off Viva Las Vegas were later shelved.
Anyway, this got me thinking about lyrics to the theme tune. If you had to write the words to the first few bars of the Corrie theme tune, what would they be?
