(How many of you actually knew the Star Trek theme song had lyrics -- from which I conveniently snitched the title?)
While not the subtlest of music, nor even the best (IMHO, Deep Space Nine's theme music is the prettiest), the original Trek theme song is iconic. It's one of those things that, if you're a sci-fi fan, is just woven into your subconscious.
It's like the "Imperial March," or the Star Wars theme, or the swell of music as "The Lord of the Rings" (at 29 seconds into the linked video) showed on the screen.
It just is. Throughout the series, there are better and more subtle pieces of music, but....
Yeah.
ETA: Seriously, what is it with composers lately? (I know Alexander Courage passed a few days ago, but it just appeared on Sci-Fi Wire today.)
