Fun fact about Hans Zimmer

[ericthecleric]

On a TV quiz recently, there was a question about the composer Hans Zimmer. One little fact mentioned was that he composed the tune for Going for Gold, a 1980s TV quiz show made in the UK, hosted by an Irish presenter, with competitors from across (western) Europe.

Here is the tune.

For people of a certain age, this may bring back memories!

Cool!

I think he was also in a rock or pop band of some sort in his younger, pre-composer days as well

Thanks Marc. I wouldn't be surprised. Vangelis was in 10cc I think?
