Which song by T. Rex is used as the opening theme of the British television series Dragons' Den?

The story behind the answer

The British television series Dragons' Den uses T. Rex's song “Get It On” as its opening theme.

“Get It On” is one of the best-known recordings by the English glam-rock band T. Rex. The song was written by Marc Bolan and became a major success in the early 1970s, giving the programme an immediately recognisable rock opening.

T. Rex had several famous songs, including “Children of the Revolution,” “20th Century Boy” and “Ride a White Swan.” Those titles are therefore plausible mix-ups, but they are not the Dragons' Den opening theme.

The use of “Get It On” helps give the programme a confident, energetic identity before the entrepreneurs begin their presentations. The music is a branding element of the British television version rather than a description of the investment process itself.
