STAR WARS has one of the most famous theme tunes ever BUT many of us actually confuse it with Raiders of the Lost Ark or Superman. Watch UK fans give it a go.

| Singing the Star Wars theme is no laughing matter... |
Dah dah dah de dah... Dah dah dah.
Nope, that's not it. That's Superman.
Humming the Star Wars theme tune under pressure is WAY harder than you think.
The funny folk at Vue cinemas put members of the public on the spot to see if they could do it.
The results are not pretty.

(PLUS: the original music for all of you who, like us, are easily confused.)
An iconic piece of movie history, the Star Wars soundtrack was immediately recognised by 81% of the UK in under three seconds, when it was played to them.
It was a whole different scenario when they had to remember it for themselves.
Its similarities to the theme music from the Indiana Jones and Superman films made for lots of embarrassing moments.
Frankly we still can't get it right and we've watched the video.

The force also awakened in sweeping orchestral style for Star Wars fans arriving at selected Vue Cinemas last night.
The lucky folk were welcomed by a full orchestra playing the movie’s iconic theme to help celebrate the opening week of the hugely-anticipated blockbuster.
Watch a live video of an incredible performance of John Williams’ score by the Symphonic Brass of London as they serenaded thousands of cinema goers at Westfield London on the movie’s opening night. The venue was one of six locations across the country taking part in the special orchestral event.
The rest of you will have to make do with humming the tune to yourselves.

The Force Awakens is on target to break box office records in the UK and abroad.
Cinemagoers in the UK and Ireland racked up almost £10 million in ticket sales on its first day of release on Thursday - setting a new opening day box office record. Midnight screenings alone contributed £2.4million in revenue.
The whopping £9.64million total haul beat the previous record of £9.48million, set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011.
Two million tickets were booked in advance of the Force Awakens release, setting a new record for advanced ticket bookings in the UK and Ireland.
Which must be music to the ears of Disney and director JJ Abrams.
Now, we wonder if THEY can hum that darned theme tune?
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out now in cinemas
