Listen to this song, not ever ported to any other version of Lemmings:

Beautiful
Here is the rom file of the game: http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/getfile.php?file=Li9BY29ybi9BcmNoaW1lZGVzL0dhbWVzL0xlbW1pbmdzJTIwJTI4MTk5MSUyOSUyOEtyaXNhbGlzJTI5LnppcA==

Yeah, we have a topic on Acorn Lemmings music a few months ago, where I eventually figure out how to rip the music from the ROM into MOD format.
Besides the extra tune you noticed, the Acorn Lemmings music also has somewhat different tunes for the special graphics levels as well (except Menace which is the same tune just shortened), although none are as remarkable as the extra song in the regular rotation of tunes.
You may also find the Acorn ONML music interesting. Instead of the standard 6 from other ports, Acorn ONML had like 25 new tunes, a lot of them from well known tunes like William Tell, O MacDonald had a Farm, etc.

Oh, I didn't notice there was a thread about Acorn music on the forum... Sorry!
Yes, the tunes are slightly different on Lemmings (1), but there's no problem on identifying them after some listenings. I have to try "Oh No" on the Acorn emulator, I didn't know about such a variety

Oh yes! I heard about that one, since I already played the Acorn version of lemmings when I was younger. I think it must have replaced one of the songs on the Amiga version. My guess is this one.

The Acorn version of Lemmings was the first version I ever played. It has been, and it always will be, my favourite version.

I know this is an old thread, and I know that I've mentioned this before in another thread myself, but the tune in question here is from another game by Krisalis Software (who did the Archimedes ports) - a platform game by the name of Mad Professor Mariarti.
