Single [edit]
"Anyone Can Fall in Love" is a version of the EastEnders theme tune, with lyrics. The original composition was by Simon May (assisted by Leslie Osborne), and the lyrics were written by Don Black. The song was produced by Queen guitarist Brian May, Dobson's future husband.
Marti Webb, who also performed the Howard's Way theme "Always There" by the same writers, covered the song on her 1986 album, Always There.
In popular culture [edit]
The single was parodied by Victoria Wood, as an announcement at the end of an edition of Acorn Antiques, within Wood's TV show Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, stated that a single titled "Anyone Can Break A Vase", sung by Miss Babs, was now on sale.
The song was performed by Alan Carr, with EastEnders actors Patsy Palmer (Bianca Jackson) and Sid Owen (Ricky Butcher), on his chat show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, on 11 February 2010.
English alternative dance artist Kindness included a cover version of the song on his 2012 album World, You Need a Change of Mind.
