John Crichton 4 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 So, everyone from time to time gets a piece of music (good or bad) stuck in their head playing over and over and over and over....Are there any particular Williams cues that get stuck in your head and you can't get it out? For me it's mostly action cues, these are the worst ones:Belly of the Steel BeastThe Chase Through CoruscantThe Spider Chase from HP: CoSparts of The Ultimate War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 159 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Funnily, the Williams cues that got stuck most (so they pop up unasked very frequently) are the Fitzwilly theme and the Midway March, though I've never seen the movies, and those pieces are the only things I know from those scores.

stewdog1 50 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 A non-JW theme that if I listen to I can never get out would be The Magnificent Seven. I have actually not been able to sleep because that theme plays over and over in my head. Therefore, I very rarely listen to that score.As for JW, Hedwig's theme and Luke and Leia are both very hard to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 few if any of John's cues get stuck in my head. to me that is a bad thing when that happens.so when a song gets stuck in my head I think of the Superman theme, play it in my mind, and it kicks the other song out of my head.

Incanus 5,519 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Recently I have been hearing the Terminal main theme in my head alot. It pops upp frequently for no reason. POA cues come to mind very often mainly the Whomping willow (in fact on my way to university this morning it played constantly in my head). It's true that many of the cues are action cues from different movies but I found myself whistling Nixon main theme the other day.Others include:- Angela's Ashes main theme- Dalai Lama/Tibet theme from Seven Years in Tibet- Meeting with Mao from Nixon- Emperor's theme from ROTJ- Gungan's March to war (especially the drums which have a great rhythm.) from TPM- Chase through Coruscant (the drums, the drums)- A Window to the Past from POA Non-Williams scores:Angels in America main titlesThe Bridge of Khazad Dum from FOTR (again the drums)The Sky Captain (many cues)The Godfather WaltzFoundations of Stone from TTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridan 0 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I wake up most every day with some cue in my head.

Romão 1,931 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The thing with Alexander's themes is that they are so simplistic they are pretty easy to remember.

Henry B 49 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I used to have startup/shutdown sounds from ESB. The quote of the Imperial March from "Jedi Master Revealed/Mynock Cave" (it would have underscored the TIE bombers blasting the surface of the asteroid, I think, but it was cut) is my startup sound, and the evil fanfare that ends Vader's conversation with Veers and is also tracked into Han's arrival at Echo Base is the shutdown sound.
