But there were once plans to release a re-worked version with lyrics. It was called Sing Me A Memory. You can listen to it below via the wonders of YouTube.
It has Neil Sean on vocals and was produced by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, two thirds of the Stock, Aitken, Waterman music team, who also wrote the words. Plans to release the song as a single to accompany Coronation Street’s 1997 video spin-off Viva Las Vegas were later shelved.
Anyway, this got me thinking about lyrics to the theme tune. If you had to write the words to the first few bars of the Corrie theme tune, what would they be?

Speaking of the theme, I've been wondering if there's a Corrie ringtone available.
There are ways to extract an mp3 from a YouTube video and if you can get the theme tune on one, you should be able to extract it to an mp3 and put it on your phone. I think there's a website that lets you plug a Youtube url in and it will do the conversion to mp3. Google might find it for you. Or you could record it from the telly if you have a good sound system.
