Pelzter 0 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I was just listening to Debney's fabulous theme to Seaquest DSV, and I suddenly realised, that it sounds just like a simplified version of the flying theme from E.T... Has anyone else noticed this?--Pelzter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I haven't heard the theme in a while, but I remember it being good. On a related note, I used to really enjoy that show when it was airing a few years back. It's more if a distant memory, but a good one. I hope they release a season or two on dvd.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I remember it remind me of Philips´ "Battlestar Galactica" theme. "Hermoinesex" by John Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Offhand, seems like it sounded like Supergirl more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 The basic melody of the theme is like Rosza's King of Kings.Justin -Who likes the theme but knows it's not very original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I think The Mummy Returns sounds like King of Kings more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelzter 0 Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 I haven't heard King of Kings but The Mummy Returns (or atleast the title track) is excellent and easily meets the swashbuckling standards of Debney, Williams and Arnold, IMO.--Pelzter, who loves swashbuckling themes, and even more when combined with a sweeping secondary theme.

Nemesis 245 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Listen to the Main Title from Star Wars, and then listen to Seaquest DSV.If you don't hear anything in similar than you have to listen to it again Nemesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I would give just about anything at this point for SeaQuest DSV (if only just the first season) to come out on DVD.And yes, the opening uplifiting interval of SeaQuest's main theme is so similar and integral to both ET's Flying Theme as well as Star Wars' Main Title, that to the average listener, which I once was not so long ago, it could be easily confused for a Williams melody. And since Spielberg was the EP, it's not that far fetched of an idea, though Williams never did anything where Spielberg produced and didn't direct, e.g. MIB, BTTF, Roger Rabbit, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
