Favourite TV/Movie themes

Triton4 · 9th January 2004, 13:59

What are your favourite music themes of any TV programmes or Movies you have watched or heard of? If possible, mention the name of the artist too.

My favs:

'Beverley Hills Cop' theme - by AxelF
'Mutiny on the Bounty' - by Vangelis
'Blade Runner' - by Vangelis

ScorLibran · 9th January 2004, 14:55

What would I choose first but...

Lexx
Opening Theme: Season 2 - Version 2
(composed by Marty Simon)

I don't know the artists of these, but to betray my age with some older ones...

Miami Vice (Jan Hammer, I think)
Magnum P.I.
Simon & Simon

And things more recent...

Enterprise (the first season, pre-banjo version

)
Smallville (Remy Zero ~ Save Me)
Miss Match (Macy Gray)

And my favorite entire soundtracks...
[list=1][*]Lexx: The Series (Original TV Soundtrack)[*]Farscape: Music from the Original Soundtrack[*]Heavy Metal (OST)[*]The Fifth Element (OST)[*]Cirque du Soleil: Mystère (Live in Las Vegas)[/list=1]...the last one's not a TV or movie soundtrack, but a soundtrack of the greatest live performance I've ever seen: Cirque du Soleil's Mystère, which I saw in Las Vegas in 1996.

Dr Who - by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

It's recognised as a classic, appears on several compilations.

marvinbarcelona · 9th January 2004, 19:13

Shaft - Isaac Hayes...it hasn't been bettered.

zootm · 9th January 2004, 20:43

the theme songs to "darkwing duck", "bananaman" and "the A team" rule

Cylob · 9th January 2004, 20:48

'When Eric eats a Banana, Eric is...... BANANAMAN!!!!'

I agree zootm, no contest.

But, then there was:

The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Dogtanian & the 3 Muskehounds

and the best of all.....

She-Ra

CGameProgrammer · 13th January 2004, 18:30

I liked the intro theme for the short-lived TV show "Weird Science" on USA (the cable channel). I've also heard the original version from the movie and it's not as good.

zootm · 13th January 2004, 18:56

dangermouse and futurama (the "full" version) ain't bad either...

Mr Jones · 13th January 2004, 19:05

Roobard and Custard, available here for the uneducated

Got to do your bit.

Still, Grange Hill ranks as one of my faves. The signature tune of my early teens...

Mrs McLusky was :9

Spazz333 · 13th January 2004, 22:48

Does no one remember Queens "Princes of the Universe" from the Highlander TV series?

Namelessv1 · 13th January 2004, 22:54

The Batman and Spiderman themes by Danny Elfman.

MidnightViper88 · 14th January 2004, 00:42

I liked the bass guitar "funk" music bits from Seinfeld...

Triton4 · 14th January 2004, 15:46

Anyone heard of the opening and closing themes of the popular Discovery Channel series 'Beyond 2000'?

I know it's old, but I'd like to know the artist who composed them.

ScorLibran · 14th January 2004, 15:54

One I forgot to mention...

Third Watch (The Crystal Method ~ Keep Hope Alive)

Cylob · 14th January 2004, 19:43

zootm - do you remember Button Moon?

Mrs_Mia_Wallace · 14th January 2004, 20:24

Mike Oldfield - Tubular bells

(It's the EXORCIST theme, I even composed it as a ringtone for my cellphone - never used it though since ringtones are annoying - I love that tune, it's simple yet awesome

)

Mia

taylormemer · 14th January 2004, 20:49

Mia, 3rd post on two days, you should come here more often.

Cylob · 14th January 2004, 21:03

Yes, do come here more often Mia.

This is a smiley happy corner of the Winamp forums.

taylormemer · 14th January 2004, 21:09

Cylob · 14th January 2004, 21:52

I bow down to the smiley god.

Yes master, I will do your bidding..... Don't look into his eyes!

Mrs_Mia_Wallace · 15th January 2004, 14:38

Alright the smiley made me laugh...and obey as you can see...

Now this isn't really just a tune but when I think of movie music I absolutely have to mention Pink Floyd - The Wall...a masterpiece, what need I say more?

Mia

Cylob · 15th January 2004, 20:00

The Wall is an absolute classic (but I would say that)... Most of it was filmed 8 miles from where I live.

Mike H. · 15th January 2004, 22:56

My favorite TV theme songs:
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
King of the Hill

taylormemer · 15th January 2004, 23:00

The Wall is the l33test album....

Mia has good taste

PS: please come again.

Triton4 · 17th January 2004, 13:57

A few more:

1. The music theme for the Weather forecast on the German TV channel 'Deutsche World' (artist-?)
