You asked what's your FAVORITE, and have now listed, by my count, every single theme song from every show and movie ever made.

This is ridiculous. If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, DON'T EXAGGERATE!

Because he didn't include this one that I consider very good. All it takes is the first 3 seconds and you remember the movie.

Take 5 minutes and listen to both versions. This is the original. From forty years ago, 1974:

This is the better one, that is played at the end of the film. I like the piano intermission and the ending better than the above one. But both are still powerful pieces.

Here is the full version. Perhaps this is the right answer?

Yeah, I like that one too. I remember seeing the name (during the film) of the first theme that plays on the link you gave, it's called "Engulfed Cathedral."

All too real my friend, all too real. lol. It's British. It was during that brief period when Supermarionation was cutting edge special effects. There were a few other shows competing for attention. In 2004 the creators of South Park, Baseketball and Orgasmo decided to craft a tribute slash parody of Thunderbirds, another one from that era.

I didn't really notice it when I watched it years ago because you mostly just hear bits of the song and not much lyrics when you watch the film but it also seems to parody that mindless unconditional sort of blind patriotism that causes people to defend the government no matter what they do. So yeah. No... Fuck yeah! :D (oh btw the man song from the end credits of Orgasmo is so freakin hilarious with total overthetop 80's style action movie machismo)

Anyway, back to unearthing long lost pure retro gold. Anyone remember this little gem?

Wait, that Captain Scarlett was a fake television show, right? I mean, nobody would actually show that on broadcast TV right?

I know I'm a terrible example of Jolt Country etiquette for not adhering to my own implicit rules. I am prepared to face the consequences. I have given myself one demerit per video. On the other hand I could just say I meant it to be taken plurally, it could be read either way. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever had just one favorite of anything. But it's ok, I have plenty more demerits where those came from. ;)

It actually starts at 10 seconds. I hate it when youtubers add their own shit to the beginning of something that should be treated like a historical artifact and not pissed on like a dog marking its territory. Anyway, it was the best quality one I could find.
