Franco Cozzo TV jingle

July 14, 2006 9:50 PM

Can anyone name (or ideally point me to an mp3 of) the old Franco Cozzo theme music?

Preferably the music alone without Franco doing his spiel, but I'm not picky... I have a copy of the spiel sans backing music, but it's the actual tune I'm after...

(If you weren't in Melbourne in the late 80s this won't mean a thing to you, so don't bother)

You have a copy of the Franco Cozzo sans music? Holy cats! You are the luckiest man in the world, and no foolin'! Wish I could help you with the music, though; I will be watching this thread with great interest.

hot soup girl: it's pretty poor quality, and was lifted from the (now defunct) site at cozzo.com.au - cozzo.mp3

In Brunswick, and Footascray! That brings back old times... Thanks for the .mp3, it's my new ringtone!

One someone should write "Welcome to Foot-es-kray" in big letters near the Footscray train station.

What do you want the music for?

Q. What did Franco Cozzo say when he put his foot in the grey paint?

A. Oh no, my Footascray!

(Sorry, can't help with the question, but couldn't resist. Ah, Melbourne.)

sien: in the past I've messed with co-workers by putting an extended version of the Life: Be In It jingle on low-volume repeat on my workstation when I'll be out of the office for a couple of hours... not loud enough for anyone to notice it over regular office noise, but just barely loud enough to be heard from a cube or two away... return to the office and see how many people are humming the tune without having any idea why... I though the Cozzo jingle would also work well - something that you only need to half-hear a bar or two for it to trigger the memory and start you humming/whistling along...
