Guess the Grand Prix closing music

[Waiter]

I can't remember the first two (can anyone remind me?) but we've had:

The Sugababes
Sunday Rain

...after the downpour of China and

Ray Charles
I can see clearly

...after the blue skies of Bahrain. So, what's next?

I don't expect the weather theme to continue so I'm Hoping Jenson has a...

Spanish Stroll

I might burn a CD of the lot, starting with The Chain of course, at the end of the season.

Hmm I can't really class that as Motown for me.

So I don't think it will be Spanish Stroll.

[FourWheelDrift]

And if they have no imagination it will be Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé.

Once again not a Motown track, so that isn't going to happen either.

[FourWheelDrift]

What's Motown got to do with it? The Sugarbabes aren't Motown and they were used for China.

Strange don't remember that.

There was a program on BBC4 about the celebration of Motown.

In it they said they will be using motown this year during formula 1.

Maybe only for a certain part of the show, previews or race highlights perhaps.

Probably who is in charge of music for the edit.

Seems a bit pointless to do just a couple, I quite liked the theme.

We've been to Button Moon, we've followed Mr. Spoon,

Button Moon, Button Moon. We've been to Button Moon,

Be back soon!

Button Moon.

If jenson has a hard race, Sugababes again with "Push the Button"

If Hamilton gets a harsh penalty, Radiohead's "Lewis (mistreated)" off the How's my Driving? My Iron Lung EP...

"How's my Driving" would have been quite appropriate I think!

I'm not sure I remember correctly but did we have a version of the decidedly non-Motown Umbrella after Malaysia, and something by the Foo Fighters after Australia?

Can anyone fill in the blanks?

We had Muse earlier in the year as well - not sure where / why though? Could have been to close the Qualifying in Australia.
