 		You gave me CPR for a bullet wound to the head? What would you do if I got shot in the foot, give me a shoulder massage?

The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy is also popular in the future. Remember Durga's quote: Space is big. Really big.

I noticed that... Didn't say anything though, I wondered if anyone else would notice.

I think Jersey's humming a funeral march. A few of the 'dun's were too fast, and the last one was too high.

 		The song is the funeral march - the first time I listened to it, I could have sworn it was the Imperial March (threw me for a heck of a loop, too), so I went back and listened to it a few times.

It's an easy mistake to make. John Williams basically melded "Mars" and the Funeral March, inverted a few spots, and stuck it in.

 		To put it into words, as many of you may have heard as a child, it would go like this;

Pray for the dead and the dead will pray for you

It goes on and on..used as some sort of child's rhyme..not too sure of the origin, or maybe I'm just crazy and made this up somehow from my childhood Rolling Eyes

Yar, it be an easy mistake to make, bein that Williams is all but a music pirate.

The spots he made up are so clearly Wagnerian, it's sort of ludicrous.

on the old MacOS, one of the text2speech voices was this tune, it's sample dialog was:
the light, you see, at the end of the tun-nel
is the, headlamp, of a fast approaching train

and Howard Stern:
it's all, Tom's fault, the show has grind-ed to a halt

I'm glad to find someone who agrees. When he lets himself go, Williams is an excellent if sometimes overemphatic composer. He seems to be maturing -- after Star Wars Episode 1 and the first two Harry Potter movies, I thought he was done for, but Episode 2 gave me a little bit of hope that the John Williams I grew up with was still in there somewhere, and HP/Azkaban delighted me (both in Cuaron's direction and Williams' score; though I'm not a HP fan by any stretch of the imagination, I thought it was one of the year's best movies). The period instrumentation, the playfulness (finally!) with which he manipulated the themes, the actual air of menace in some of the 'scary' music (after seeing Harry Potter 1, I turned to my friend and said, "Maybe it's just that I've gotten used to Howard Shore, but John Williams really isn't too great with 'scary' music); it all seemed like the work of a much more mature and confident composer than the tired stuff he'd been churning out for the past few years. I was almost ready to stick him in the same category as Horner, but he's won his way back into my good graces.

However, my heart remains with Howard Shore. A theory professor whose writings I enjoy is doing a book analyzing the LOTR score, and I am attempting to remain patient. I would absolutely *kill* to get my hands on a score.

But returning to the point, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this opinion. Non-musicians (actually, non-classical-musicians) generally get offended when I imply he's a plagiarist.

I could swear the sample was actually the delightfully absurd:
"the light you see at the end of the canoe;
is the headlamp of a fast approaching train"

Though tunnel does, of course, make a lot more sense.
