It will always be strange to me to see Fat Cat on anything other than Seven. It made so much sense for SAS to switch with ADS and become a 7 station being that SAS was owned by TVW at that time. Naturally they shared a lot with each other as a result.
It reminds me of this ident which started with WNAC in Boston and was picked up by TVW. Both WNAC and TVW being 7 meant TVW could just use the song as it was, but SAS also used it while they were SAS-10 which meant they needed to update the lyrics…
Fat Cat also makes an appearance in this one too.
It was a strange time 
Side note: NBN also had their own version of this ident too.
Edit: Just in case anyone hasn’t seen them. Here are the TVW and NBN versions of that ident.
and the original from WNAC:
This song will be in my head all day now
in the eastern states (and Adelaide), it was the other way around. FC was aligned with Ten for over a decade, and only had a few years run on Seven when the Adelaide swap saw Fat Cat And Friends change networks.
A couple of rare TVW-7 promos.

A discussion thread on this from the time:
the original reason why Hey Hey changed timeslots was because to accommodate Test Cricket coverage from England (it was an Ashes year). It ended up getting higher ratings at 6.30 so the timeslot stuck with it long after.
9/6/2023: Kochie signs off from Sunrise after over two decades at the helm of the show, during which he and Mel (and later Sam, then Nat) built the show from the bottom up to become Australia’s number one breakfast television show.
Good to see the show is continuing to maintain strong ratings under Nat and Shirvo.
Even after moving to 6:30pm, several episodes in 1985 finished early due to the cricket.
