Anyone remember Count Duckula? It suddenly popped into my head and prompted me to look up the theme lyrics. The line after “He won’t bite beast or man”… I keep replaying it and it really doesn’t sound like what it’s supposed to be. Does anyone hear it? Lyrics in comments.

1. “*In the heart of Transylvania*
   *In the vampire hall of fang, yeah*
   *There’s not a vampire zanier than*
   *(Duckula)*
   *He won’t bite beast or man, ’cause he’s a vegetarian (Aah!)*
   *And things never run to plan for*
   *(Duckula)*
   *If you’re lookin’ for some fun, you can always count upon*
   *The wild and wacky one they call*
   *(Duckula)*
   *{spoken}*
   *Heh heh, Count Duckula, heh heh heh heh*”
   For the life of me, I just can’t hear vegetarian

2. Well they have to bend it a bit to rhyme with man but yeah it sounds like what it says it is. Just pronounced “vegetary-ann”.

   Thanks for reminding me of this though. Good show.

3. Sounds fine to me.

4. I’ve just started watching it again. David Jason is a legend

6. Yes. I loved it when I was very small and my Dad would bring me my morning orange juice with a very loud Nanny impression.

   I also once watched it with the son of the Imam of East London Mosque while my dad had a meeting with him. We drank ribena. Fun times.

7. I’ll get it!!
