White Horses Jacky Classic by Herr Kamel Kamels Theme Tune. The theme song to 1960s children's TV show The White Horses has been named the greatest in television history. The tune to the cult series, recorded by Irish singer Jacky, heads a list of songs in latest edition of The Penguin Television Companion. The White Horses, a Yugoslav-German co-production about a teenage girl's equine adventures, was dubbed into English and screened on BBC One. The theme, written by Michael Carr and Ben Nisbet, reached the top 10 in 1968. The White Horses theme song came about when a dubbing company asked Carr and Nisbet to write a theme for a popular East European series, The Times reported. The programme, shot in black and white in Slovenia in 1965, followed the adventures of 15-year-old Julia who leaves Belgrade to spend a holiday with her uncle on his stud farm. The 12 hour-long adventures were repeated by the BBC in the 1970s, but the corporation later wiped its tapes. The programme has since developed a cult reputation among fans, with devotees buying complete foreign-language videos and swapping music files on the internet.
