Identify this space-themed show with a cool ending theme song?

Some years ago I saw parts of a show that was space-themed: Can’t exactly remember if it was a hard astronomy documentary or something that interwove sci-fi stuff. But when the ending credits rolled, there was the most amazing “end titles” theme song. It had what sounded like a female diva singing over an electronic-orchestral backdrop. Very catchy, yet what I can’t remember frustrates me. The only other thing I know is the credits also showed an aurora borealis background.

Does anyone know what show this is? I’d adore having this loose end tied up.

I’m probably wrong, but the end credits for the pilot episode of BUCK ROGERS come disturbingly close.

Thanks The Other Waldo Pepper — alas, it’s not that (I did like Buck Rogers!), the show seems to have been made in the 90s/00s. But my curiosity is piqued to check out what you mentioned.

WAG but…PSI Factor? There is a clip here:

I don’t know if this is it, but it’s worth any excuse to trot out: The Fifth Element? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0qy3JHz6X0

I hate to bring up something so obvious, but are you sure it wasn’t the end credits of (I think) the 3rd season of Star Trek? That version had a soprano humming/aaahing the theme music (with orchestra) and I definitely remember colored lights as one of the static shots under the music.

With your username, I was sure you were going to suggest Red Dwarf - that was what sprang to mind when I read the OP, but it’s probably not right.

Red Dwarf sounds correct for the song. Is this the tune?

9

Red Dwarf is also what came to my mind - I hope the OP comes back to either confirm or deny the guess.

I’m so grateful for your answers! Unfortunately, it’s none of these — although I am the fan of the Diva Dance, and by “female diva”, I lean towards the singing being more operatic. I couldn’t discern the words.

I was SO hoping it’d be Psi Factor based on the opening notes, but doesn’t ring a bell, and am looking for a visual of the end credits — I also searched out the ending theme, but it’s not what I remember.

Come to think of it, I think I was watching Canadian satellite at the time, so this may have been on Space or another channel.

Yeah, the aurora borealis thing made me wonder if it might be a Canadian show, there were quite a few SF shows made in Canada. Lexx is another that has a theme song like you describe, but I couldn’t find a description of the credits.

There are some wikipedia lists of Canadian sci-fi shows, maybe something will ring a bell?

I thought I made a post the other day, but turns out it didn’t go through.

Nicest, I didn’t see anything that rung a bell there, but thank you. I could be misremembering, but something tells me this show was more of a documentary series (or at least “trying” to recount true events) than a fictional work.

Farscape? One of the Farscape themes anyway?

This plays over the closing credits, too.

Here is another season of it. Maybe?

14

So am I right?

15

I was thinking maybe Andromeda, but I can’t seem to find an example of the closing theme.

16

Was it that Gene Rodenberry show with the bald chicks that moved funny?

17

Earth: Final Conflict? I don’t remember its closing credits.

18

Are you the Torley who makes the Cubase videos on YouTube?

My best guess is Space with Sam Neill.

19

The show sounds like you’re describing Farscape. Look it up and see if it is :slight_smile: or maybe Firefly?

The OP hasn’t been on the boards in four years, and he didn’t even answer the posts in this thread five years ago.

The world will never know what the show was…
