We’re impressed by this Mission Impossible theme fact – but not as much as Simon Pegg was

Despite being stars of the franchise, this piece of Mission Impossible trivia was news to Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson – but also to us.

Did you know this?

@todayfm Did you know the original Mission Impossible song was based off Morse Code? 🎶 Dave blew Simon Pegg & Rebecca Ferguson’s minds so much that they had to RETELL his fact in their next interview with NME 🤯 #MissionImpossible7 #missionimpossible #simonpegg #rebeccaferguson #dermotanddave #todayfm #morsecode #funfacts #laloschifrin #missionimpossibledeadreckoning #missionimpossiblethemesong ♬ original sound – Today FM

Very clever stuff, and top marks to Today FM’s Dave Moore for knowing that.

Wouldn’t it be funny, if this was just not true and they keep telling it over and over again? 😁

I compose music from time to time and made a morse code song where I found out this was a thing, I didn’t think it was actually like on purpose.

And then the music that plays after that is “short short loooooong…short short looooong” which is “U” for “Unpossible”!

Every Naval and Airforce Comms & Intelligence Officer has known this since the original series was broadcast.
