Benjy Potter @BenjysBanter asked: "Why does the Strictly tune sound different as they’re introducing the celebs? MAKE IT SOUND NORMAL #strictly"

No Context Strictly Come Dancing @nocontextSCD_ tweeted: "Anyone else noticing a new remix to the celeb intro music?"

Sema Malik @sema_malik_ wondered: "Eh what's with the music? This is a new arrangement... #Strictly"

And @geekytrom asked the band: "The music when 'our strictly stars' came in was very different tonight?"

Dave Arch and his orchestra are the musical backbone of Strictly Come Dancing and have been the house band since 2006.

During another action-packed show the praise came pouring in for the band.

@DrSue64 told them: "That was a great show & excellence from the band & singers. Had the stereo on, to enjoy in full."

@Revilomagic praised: "It just has to be said again. How amazing is this band. Versatile & class. Your version of @DUALIPA Levitating was just brilliant."

@BensBookmarks commented: "Hands up those who think the #Strictly band should release an album of covers? Some of these singers sound better than the originals.
