Genius!
There are some TV show theme songs that are engrained in our minds, whether we like it or not. From Friends to E.R., their opening credits can be identified after just a few notes just like that of EastEnders.
Yes, the infamous drums are synonymous with the show, however, fans often comment on how upbeat the tune is in comparison to the show’s heartbreaking and traumatic storylines.
Well, one person thought it was time for an update.
Sharing the new and improved theme song on Twitter, one viewer said, “I made a new opening titles sequence for EastEnders,” and we’re LOVING it.

Set to the theme song of Happy Days, the new opening credits takes clips from some of the most miserable moments on the show and it’s just hilarious.
And we’re not the only ones who think so as nearly 500,000 views later and people are still howling.

The video has also been somewhat of a guide to Albert Square and people are noticing one thing in particular.

Apart from Coronation St, I’ve never known a place where so much bad shit happens. Why does anyone move there? ?
