Music a gogo : The "New" New Avengers Theme


Classic Jazzy cover by UK dj-producer-percussionist and band leader Snowboy from around 1996.
"I was always pleased with my version of this classic T.V. series. I went through every episode (when I was on a tour bus) and recorded every little bit of incidental music and strung it all together for the middle section."

Hear the original (much shorter) theme by Laurie Johnson and watch the original opening titles here.

It's Raining Hard Outside - Yanka Rupkina

She is the most popular singer in Bulgaria.
She was the musical leader of:
"The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria."
I don't know who she's singing with here,
but sounds a bit like Tom Waits,
and know it isn't.
