The theme is an iconic piece of music in the UK. A 2000 UK poll named it as the sixth most popular TV theme of all time. In a 2008 poll by PRS for Music the "EastEnders" theme was found to be the most recognisable piece of music in the UK, beating the national anthem "God Save the Queen" as well as the theme tunes for "Match of the Day" and "Coronation Street". Composer Simon May commented: "When "EastEnders" first appeared in 1985 it was such a great buzz walking down the street or being in a supermarket hearing people whistling or humming the theme. I've been amazingly lucky that thanks to the huge success of the show the theme is still popular and in the national psyche." The theme tune was used in the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
