"Can We Fix It?" is the name of the theme song from the children's television programme Bob the Builder, produced by Hot Animation. The title is derived from the main character's catchphrase, a query towards the rest of the cast when presented with a challenge. The chorus of the song features this phrase prominently, as well as the standard response: "Yes, we can!"


"Can We Fix It?" became a Christmas number one single in 2000 beating Westlife's What Makes a Man making their first single to fail at the #1 spot and was the biggest selling single of the year, appearing 72nd in the all-time UK best-sellers list issued in 2002, and it also reached number one in Australia in 2001.

A second single by Bob, "Mambo No.5", with the lyrics adapted from Lou Bega's 1999 hit version, also reached number one a year later. An album entitled The Album followed, which debuted at #4, and included a cover of Elton John's "Crocodile Rock".

"Can We Fix It", was voted by Channel 4 viewers in late 2003 as one of the 100 worst singles of all-time.

The song has sold One Million copies in the UK as stated by the Official UK Charts Company. The song was the best selling of 2000 in the UK.
