Music As with many similarly themed series, Renford Rejects used a popular contemporary indie song as its theme tune - in this case, "Australia" by the Manic Street Preachers. Renford Rejects also used an edited version of Rob Dougan's Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Mix) from his breakthrough album Furious Angels when the Rejects rivals, The Razors, would appear on screen. "Ready to Go" by Republica and "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba were songs often heard during a match. "A Girl Like You" by Edwyn Collins, was the song for Robin in the first season, also "Who Do You Think You Are"
