good question....not sure if anyone-or-group wrote song (s) about Emma Peel...if they did, it escaped my radar...I do recall Honor singing a naughty little ditty with Patrick....' kinky boots'...but most of us, have heard of it, or at least have listened to it...I think I might a 45 copy of it, in my archives...

Talking of themes then...

Yes I have Kinky Boots on a CD (not 45).

But I also found a CD I had from 1998 that has The Avengers (Johnson) and The Shake (which inspired the former, also by Johnson).
What more do we know about 'The Shake' on here?

Is The Shake different to the theme then? I thought it was just an alternative name for it.

On the Contender/Kult TV DVDs they call Johnson's theme "The Age of Elegance" which is the wrong title, it being in fact the title of a precursor to/early version of Ron Grainer's The Prisoner theme - I presume what The Shake is to the Avengers' filmed seasons' theme.
Last watched: "Mandrake"

Yes replayed it.... sounds very similar but a few sections differ. Was published in 1965 the same year as The Avengers Theme.
It's the BW season 4 Avengers theme on this CD.
