House of the King

[edit]
  • ... that Focus' "House of the King" has been a theme tune on British television twice? Source: "House of the King (well, the acoustic guitars and flute bit, not the rest of it), by Dutch prog rockers Focus, also had multiple uses; it was theme to two TV shows. On Magnus Pyke's science programme Don't Ask Me in the 70s, it signified the intellectual curiosity of lively minds. But on Saxondale in the 2000s, it symbolised the stunted growth and cynicism of Steve Coogan's ex-roadie, stuck in the 70s." [1]

Should it be "Focus's single, House of the King..."? And in the article can an instrumental be a song? Should it be tune or composition or piece? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:24, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
I prefer keeping the hook short and concise. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:11, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
