The second one sounds so old, so I chose the first one.

Neighbours is a bit better but both are quite boring, Eastenders' intro is gold.

As an aside, I think the Home and Away song translates better in Spanish and Portuguese, don't you agree?

Yeah I had a look at the lyrics and I concur.

Neighbours, the old theme songs from the 80s and 90s.

I grew up quite near Ramsay St in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.

Australian Soap Operas, that's something I should check it out, I have just seen some fragments on YouTube.
Regarding you question, I would say "Home and Away" has a better theme song.

Apparently, thousands of Brits go on tours of the Neighbours set each year. Have you done it?

Of course not. That's pretty desperate. They did film on my street once though.

I've met two Neighbours actors: Anne Charleston (Madge Bishop) and Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy).

A spin-off of Home and Away?:D

I'm kidding but for some reason I have it in my head that Australia was filled with blonde mullets in the early 1990s. The image cracks me up for some reason.

Sabes que quedamos juntos
Tu y yo siempre juntos
No importa donde estas, eres mi estrella
Y desde el momento cuando te vi
Igual nunca me senti
Camino sobre el aire para saber que estes

(Coro)
Tocame en los brazos, no me dejes
Quiero estar contigo siempre
Mas y mas cerca
Aqui y alla
Dejame de ser la persona con quien tu puedes confiar
Cada vez mas cerca
Aqui y alla

Sabes que quedamos juntos
Tu y yo siempre juntos
Hasta el fin del tiempo
Soy tuyo y eres mio
Ay, no puedo imaginar ni un minuto
Viviendo mi vida sin ti al lado
Ya esta muy claro
Que siempre te necesito

(Coro)

Compare to:

Vecinos
Hay que tener buenos vecinos
Con un poco de entendimiento
Se encuentra la mezcla perfecta
Vecinos
Deben ayudar a uno y otro
Asi los buenos vecinos sean buenos amigos

I can only imagine the cheesiness of mullet infested Aussie soap operas. No offense, soaps are inherently bad.

Last time I watched Neighbours it had Carla Bonner and that chick who turned into an insane feminist.
