It sounds soooo familiar.

Well, it sorta reminds me of [Clutch Cargo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOhGDRhJ8Hs&feature=related). Fast forward to the end for the full version.

Actually, on a second viewing, that isn’t the full theme at the end. The first half plays at the beginning and the last half at the end.

Oh, just watch the whole damn thing. _Clutch Cargo_ has to be seen to be believed.

ETA, start with [this clip.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LZcMv0H1bI)  
Well, there’s no wiki page for the artist or song and neither were listed on any IMDB page that I could come up with. However, at some point [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzGgX1DihPw&feature=related) came up on the side bar and it may be what you’re thinking of. If it’s not the same song, it’s damn close, or at least similar to these untrained ears.

That’s very likely what I’m thinking of.
