I was lucky enough to go along to the Chris Moyles session at Abbey Road today (you may have heard him mention it on air). All I can say is listen out for the new opener in January – a full “real” orchestra … and lets just say Chris is probably as much an anorak as the rest of us.

You lucky so and so!

How did you manage to go to that?!

Yes, you are very lucky indead! Heard him mention it yesterday and today he played the string section recording which was just sublime. Looking forward to hearing the end result.

The strings are amazing – worth checking it out on Radio Player from this morning – although you won't hear the amazing quality but it'll give you an idea.

and its all conducted by the bald fella off the honda advert!

Have just heard a copy of the final mix of the new Moyles Opener – if you like a sung jingle song then I think you'll like it. It airs first on Monday at 7am … not quite as long as the original Moyles song but it's getting there.

any chance of a sample

how do you get to hear them?

[NickySMemberAuthor]

I was only played them – it was because I was at the session when they were recorded. Fraid I don't have a copy to post – but you only have to wait until Monday at 7am … all I will say is it's very catchy as you would expect from Mr Moyles

[lozzi]

cool, is he still using 30 secs sung jingles?
also im sort of dissapointed about music 4 havent updated the 2006 cuts yet. anyone know why this is?

and does anyone have any of the beds for me id be willing to sort out a deal

xxxxxxxx

So you don't miss it, Moyles is on air at 6:55!!! Unless he holds off the sung jingle for 5 mins, it will air then at 6:55.

Just incase you miss it!!

The Jingle is awsome! Here, have a listen.. as soon as it begins to play, forward it 5 mins and it will be the beginnging of the file….

Let me know what you think

leaves me cold to be honest.

Seems to take the opportunity to make “jingles” cheesy songs – which I've never believed
But its now the tired old line that people who work in radio under the age of 25 always have that jingles are cheesy.

I think it's great – good words, really nice tune & arrangement and it does what a jingle should do and stays in your head for a while. Reckon that Chris is a big jingle anorak on the quiet and he's achieved a balance of having a sung jingle that appeals to the Radio 1 target audience but not in a geeky, old-fashioned way. Would be fantastic to hear all the mixes but that's a long-shot!

[NickySMemberAuthor]

I know for sure there are three different versions of the lyrics. I also know that he used various old opening songs/themes as inspiration as I dug some out for him!

i love chris moyles

Every time I hear the start of it I keep thinking TV-am or BBC Breakfast Time is back on! Like it though. Congrats Sandy & Co.
