Of all the versions on youtube, theirs is the one that feels most true to the original. For me there are two cheery stand out versions; the Bud Sugar version BacaryBax Channel has a hint of Mungo Jerry about it. There is also the Thrill Collins version on the Andrew Lansley channel which is a very fine example of an acoustic almost skiffle version. \u00a0Herbie Mee, Tim Grady and numerous others appear in the solo guitar and voice category.\u00a0 If you\u2019re into dance music then Danny Byrd\u2019s techno version might just be for you, there\u2019s also a couple of drum and base versions kicking around. Fancy a jazzy version then check out Ana Stajdohar Kunstst\u00fcck\u00a0 on channel Selixds with John Challis reading on the sofa. If we take another ever so slight diversion then there is the wonderful Ginja Ft LeeO &#8211; Delboys tune with cameos from Marlene, Boycie and Mickey. \u00a0From Wales Skinny Monkey offer an almost prog rock version on Dave Davies Channel which takes a while to get going, but certainly has it\u2019s own little something. If you like your metal heavier, then Deadly Moshpit on the Ivana Stojanovic\u00a0 channel should be for you. \u00a0So why should I do a version? My version, as The Sullivan Sees, is an 80s indie style version almost completely recorded on the iphone. A splendid animation(why isn&#8217;t there an Only Fools cartoon?) by Rachael Purdy keeps you entertained with some additional cockney references. I\u2019m biased and wholeheartedly recommend The Sullivan Sees version, but there is something in the youtube assortment box for all.&#8221;<\/p><div class=\"d7386eeb5bdcd2f43c1295b58ceaf130\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ofah2-response -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5593259115\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Mange tout, Rodney.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5401\" alt=\"Only Fools theme\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/only-theme.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/only-theme.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/only-theme-530x295.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/only-theme-550x306.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Only Fools and Horses Theme Music\u00a0Opening Lyrics:<\/h2>\n<p>Stick a pony in me pocket,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll fetch the suitcase from the van.<br \/>\nCos if you want the best &#8216;uns,<br \/>\nBut you don&#8217;t ask questions,<br \/>\nThen brother, I&#8217;m your man.<br \/>\nCos where it all comes from is a mystery,<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like the changin&#8217; of the seasons,<br \/>\nAnd the tides of the sea.<br \/>\nBut here&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s drivin&#8217; me beserk,<br \/>\nWhy do only fools and horses work?<br \/>\nLa-la-la-la-lah<br \/>\nLa-lala-la<br \/>\nLa-la-la-la-lah<br \/>\nLa-lala-la.<\/p>\n<h2>Only Fools and Horses Theme Music Closing Lyrics:<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got some half price cracked ice and miles and miles of carpet tiles,<br \/>\nT.V.s, deep freeze and David Bowie L.P.s,<br \/>\nBall games, gold chains, whassa-names, and at a push,<br \/>\nSome Trevor Francis track suits from a mush in Shepherds Bush,<br \/>\nBush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush &#8230;<br \/>\nNo income tax, no V.A.T.,<br \/>\nNo money back, no guarantee,<br \/>\nBlack or white, rich or poor,<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll cut prices at a stroke&#8230;&#8230;<br \/>\nGod bless Hooky Street,<br \/>\nViva Hooky Street,<br \/>\nLong live Hooky Street,<br \/>\nC&#8217;est magnifique, Hooky Street,<br \/>\nMagnifique, Hooky Street,<br \/>\nHooky Street (to fade)<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/only-fools-and-horses-theme-music\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Have you seen this Only Fools and Horses Theme Music from The Sullivan Sees.
