==Theme songs, opening/closing sequences and interstitials== The theme song used to open the show is sampled from [[Iggy Pop]]'s extended version of "[[Real Wild Child]]", with Pop's vocals and the word "rage" manipulated backwards throughout. The visuals include elements of [[Iggy Pop]]'s "Real Wild Child" video and footage of [[Johnny O'Keefe]] performing "[[Shout (Isley Brothers song)|Shout]]" at [[Sydney Stadium]] in 1959. The "Shout" clip was for many years the only surviving footage from the 1959 Australian [[concert film]] ''[[Rock 'n' Roll (1959 film)|Rock 'n' Roll]]'', until the entire film was rediscovered and rereleased in the 2020s. The song used during the closing credits of the show is an extended remix of "Speed Your Love to Me" by [[Simple Minds]], with visual elements borrowed from Simple Minds' videos for "Speed Your Love To Me", "Sanctify Yourself" and "Waterfront". The [[Tony Levin]] remix of "Sleepless" by [[King Crimson]] has also been used as the theme song occasionally. Several years ago, a third theme was produced (also based on Iggy Pop's "Real Wild Child") to break up the guest programmer or specials clips on Saturday nights (except on Saturday mornings with hits and new releases). In the last few years, the show has been using another theme specifically for the Top Fifty, sampled from the song "She Said" by now-defunct [[Brisbane]] band Lavish. It is now used instead of the opening theme to begin the Top Fifty and replace any missing clips. During [[TISM]]'s appearance on the show, they described the traditional theme song as "...new and exciting..." and its repetition as "always stimulating ... Why see different songs when you can see this one four or five times?"
