i gotta say, the twentieth century fox thing is the greatest piece of music ever!! why doesn't someone use that opening (including the visuals) in a music video, for a soundtrack to a fox movie or something? how great would that be?

it's also totally fun to sing aloud!

See also, the beginning of "Jump Around" by House of Pain.

"2001" had a pretty good opening fanfare too... but that was three years ago.

the Tchaikovsky sample U2 used as an intro to "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car" was nice

The Jump Around fanfare isn't the Fox one, I'm not sure what it's from. It goes "BLLLAAAAH...BLAH BLAH BLAAAAAAAAH!"

I thought it was "MAHHHHH....MAH MAH MAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" followed by the "EEEEE...chuk chuk chuk chuk chuk chuk chuk chuk....EEEEEEE"

Best fanfare of the last 30 years: "Regyptian Strut," Frank Zappa.

Yeah that's it. Can't forget the "EEEEE." That's pretty clutch.

NA prolly heard a remix or something.

That HBO theme song, my god!

Woah! you don't realize how many of these you know until you try to think of some. I can think of at least like 6 of them off the top of my head, but the only ones I can put a name to are the Star Wars one and the Disney home video one.

The intro to "Jump Around" is a sample of "Harlem Shuffle" by Bob & Earl.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" theme song.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 20 May 2004 05:27 (twenty-two years ago)

The EEEE...chunka chunk part isn't the fanfare though. That's the actual song.

The Rocky theme.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 20 May 2004 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't you mean "La Marseillaise"?

Metro Tartan videos have a hilariously shit opener.

― Enrique (Enrique), Thursday, 20 May 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Gotta agree with the HBO theme song.

Another favorite of mine is the Fox Baseball theme.
