Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 59 - Richard Allen Harvey (Triumph)

Now here's an obscure one I really like listening to.  In the late 1980s, every Saturday and Sunday morning I would wake up early to watch The Fun Factory on Sky Channel.  It was a kids' show which featured cartoons for a few hours, hosted by presenter Andy Sheldon,  Snoot the seal and Crocker the crocodile.  The show would be the first program of the day, and Sky would play a short introduction to the channel beforehand detailing how to contact them, and some other technical details (Sky Channel comes to you from Satellite Television in London, transmitting on the ECS-F1 satellite transponder 6X at a frequency of 11.650ghz).  The introduction featured this song which I loved listening to, and for nearly 25 years I tried to find it but with no luck. 

That was until a few years ago.  It took me a while to finally track down the song, but thanks to the wonders of the internet, here it is, and I'm adding it to my list of favourite songs because a) it reminds me of my childhood, and b) it's such a great tune!
