That's the old one. Very funky. Fun to play on the piano.

The new one has words and is very impressive in its ability to brainwash.

When HIT Entertainment bought Thomas, they had to write a theme tune that was both catchy for kids and vaguely similar to the tune parents had grown up with (thus forestalling lots of horrified letters).

They did a VERY good job.

It took only seeing a couple of ADS to implant the wretched song firmly in my subconscious. I kept finding myself absent-mindedly singing, "... shunting trucks and hauling frieght, RED and GREEN and BROWN and BLUE..." at random times during the day.

That's without even watching the actual show.

It's not as funky... but boy, is it catchy.
