I’m gonna blame the BBC Four Children’s TV on Trial season for this, but I won’t deny, I was always gonna eventually discover this one. I just can’t believe I didn’t do so sooner. I remember Sportacus was on Paul O’Grady earlier in the year, and I just thought, ugh, another ridiculous looking kids’ show. Couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m addicted! No, seriously, I am … I watched my first episode on Friday and I’m now on my 9th episode, lol.

Though there’s definitely a huge amount of cheesiness, a small amount of patronising the audience (even though the target is obviously very young children, I still think it’s a little too much at times), the energy is just tooooo infectious … and the songs! I’ve downloaded the soundtrack but definitely intend to buy it (plus the bonus DVD), surely one of the best albums of last year if only for “Always a Way”, “Spooky Song”, and “Bing Bang” – all of which are sung by Stephanie, who I’m frankly besotted with, lol (in a non-creepy way of course …) – a poster has already been ordered from Play, lol.

Anyway, this entry began because I made a theme for my phone I wanted to share, then I figured I may as well write something about the show for my TV section … I guess it could equally go in the music section. But anyway, here’s a preview of that theme:

And the theme itself can be downloaded here until anyone complains – LazyTown’s Stephanie k800i Theme. There’s a ringtone in there too – an edited version of “Spooky Song” so when your phone rings you get “Boo! [pause] Dippity-dee, it’s only me! Boopity-boo, I scared you!” lol Would make a good wake-up alarm too.

While I’m here, you might notice one of those k800i’s above doesn’t have Stephanie on it … I realised I never shared my last theme for the k800, of Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ... at least I don’t think I did. Anyway here’s that theme: Violet Beauregarde. Hope someone out there in the ether can make use of.

Yes I am weird.
