The theme tune was "Shake Me" by Mint Royale, chosen from a mini disc full of music beds Jonathan had assembled for his [[URY]] show. It was changed because of copyright worries concerning the online stream in February 2005 to some far inferior (but less recognisable) library music. The original theme returned for the final show (with the presenters announcing in the pre-titles sequence that they'd had enough and were bringing it back!), and the closing compilation of highlights was set the the "Vocal Edit" of the theme tune. This and the original theme are available on the album "On The Ropes" and greatest hits collection "Pop Is..." under the name Kenny's Last Stand (curiously with the "Shake Me" sample removed).

Mint Royale's work continues to be very popular for backing music and theme tunes on television despite relatively minor success until summer 2008 when one of their tracks was used in ITV1's Britain's Got Talent and hit the number 1 spot in the charts as a result. "Shake Me" has also been used in an E4 promotion and as the theme to a Channel 4 "top 100" programme. | Mint Royale's work continues to be very popular for backing music and theme tunes on television despite relatively minor success until summer 2008 when one of their tracks was used in ITV1's Britain's Got Talent and hit the number 1 spot in the charts as a result.
