Love this kind of stuff thanks for posting. Sounds like the tune that Kenny Everett used to close out his Captain Kremmen series in the 1970's. Do you know if it is or not?
Zander Nyrond
Yes it is.
James Hogg
It's the very same. They released it as a single in 1977 under the same name. Got to number 30-something so became a minor hit.
