Another one that is sure to bring back memories is Simon In The Land Of Chalk Drawings, I think maybe it has an ocarina played in it (like that break in Wild Thing by The Troggs). Bernard Cribbins narrated it but luckily he didn't sing the song. I might still remember the words... "Well you know my name is Simon, and the things I draw come true, oh the pictures take me take me over, climb the ladder with you." A bit like Button Moon.
I remember without necessarily liking the themes for Doctor Snuggles, and Barbapapa, and the Sooty tune with and without words (he played the tune on his pixiphone or toy xylophone). I think his theme words were mostly his name repeated and something along the lines of "he is a little rascal in trouble all the time." I don't think they used the theme with words often.
