Shortland Street Theme


Listen Later

Back when TV opening themes just hit differently - our panel go back to the '90s and translate the theme song of one of our favourite soaps.

Watch the video version of the episode here.

Is it you or is it me?

The iconic opening line from the Shortland Street theme, a staple series on television today. Our hosts are experienced in the world of composing songs, translating popular movies like Sponge Bob Tarau Porowhā (Sponge Bob Square Pants) and Kimo Houltham is an actor and presenter, but how will the panel fair in translating this classic gem?

Written by Graham Bollard and performed by Tina Cross. Let the real life drama unfold as the panel dig deep into their pātaka kupu (dictionary) to capture the essence of the song.
