Title: Superman theme
Post by: Listener on November 05, 2005, 12:59:09 PM
What is it about the opening theme from Superman that just makes us so... I don't know, so emotional.

John Williams, of all the movie scores he's done, this is probably one of the top five all time "themes" he's written.  Every time I hear that song, I'm like, "yeah, f'ing Superman!"

Is it just me?

It will be interesting to see how they incorporate it into the new movie.

I haven't seen Smallville in a while, but they used to incorporate it well in the show, especially on the episode with Christopher Reeve.

They haven't used it since the start of last season, if I remember right.

I'm glad John Williams did the theme for Superman.  I wonder what it would have been like if Herbie Hancock did the theme?  Or Yanni?

Hebie would have been Superman Rockin'!!!!!

Can you imagine the commercials with Superman flying forwards and back to the tune of Rockit with all the scratching!!  Totally cool.

I always start singing the Superman song, then it morphs into Indiana Jones & I confuse myself.

Same thing happens with the A Team song.

When I try to think of it, the Greatest American Hero theme gets in the way.

I personally find most of John Williams' work to be too similar.  I can never remember which theme goes to which movie.  Maybe it's not his fault.  Maybe the movies are too similar.

Yes.  You win the SUPERPRIZE!  The details are shrouded in mystery, but I'm pretty sure they involve me giving your number to this great girl I know.  You'll like her. You have so much in common!  What with the both of you needing air to breathe and stuff.

I'm glad John Williams did the theme for Superman.  I wonder what it would have been like if Herbie Hancock did the theme?  Or Yanni?

If yanni wrote the music im sure superman would find lex luger, find that kryptonite necklace he made for him, put it back around his neck and sink himself to the bottom of the ocean or an active volcano.
