I can't find a version of the theme song as Gaeilge anywhere online :mad: It's kinda amazing such a big piece of 90s Irish nostalgia isn't easy to find

I remember the trolley being wheeled into the classroom to watch Bouli so vividly!!

Can't find the theme tune but found this quiz to test your knowledge of the lyrics! https://www.dailyedge.ie/bouli-lyrics-irish-3158959-Dec2016/

If you look hard enough you realise he had black skin.

For emphasis:

Even worse - a snowman doing blackface. Ban this racist snowman immediately.

Rodney Bathgate I will give you one warning and this applies to every thread in the Forum. Stop bringing race into every single discussion or further posts along these lines will incur sanctions.

Too many of those and he’d resemble a marching orangeman

Was it just me who thought that Bouli was an Irish production?

I went off to find the theme tune, only to find Bouli speaking fluently in French.

There was always something so hypnotic about Bouli. I hadn't a clue what he was saying, but 6-y-o me was absolutely mesmerised. He put that pathetic freak, Bosco, in the ha'penny place. The dates are fuzzy in my mind, but I know for certain that by the time Bouli came along, Bosco was dead to me.

Edit:

Can anyone confirm that Bosco was aired at 14:30, and that Bouli came on at 15:00, but only in like 15-minute segments? Is that roughly correct?

I knew it was french. Don’t know where this gaeilige stuff is coming from

You must have had multi-channels in your house.

If you relied entirely on RTE1 and Network 2 (I'm almost certain this pre-dates T na G, as it was), then you'd know exactly who Bouli is and all of his backstory tri mhean na Gaeilge.

All ll I remember was the theme song man it had a certain, how we say, je nes sais quoi

I think something must have come up at the start that told you it was French. Perhaps you were too young to notice it?

I always thought Bouli was made by the same crowd who made ‘Tir na hOige’, that was called ‘Baby Folies’ on TCC.

‘Tir na hOige’ also had a cracking theme tune but only in Irish. The English version was pretty rubbish.

You just made a very powerless enemy

27-06-2020 11:06AM

I always thought it was Irish too, but probably because back then I didn't understand the concept of dubbing, and the fact that the theme song was so damn good, how could it not be the original

And now that you mention it Emmet, I think something does show up alright at either the beginning or end credits

Now that you mention it, I do remember some kind of (TV5?) French notice, just before the opening credits. Thanks for pointing out what a dunce I was as a child.
