The film, you mean? Most definitely, but the number itself is by no means some zany-sounding, over-the-top blasting horror/sci-fi-fest tune possibly related to green puke-swilling aliens, but more a lame-ass middle of the road rock(pop?) song, with “subdued” (IMHO) being a more fitting word to apply to the tune than “fantastically”, (as it boosters for the “power, to succeed”:p)

Never a big fan of the [Chariots of Fire](https://youtu.be/TDcemptmJbU?t=39) theme - too rowdy.

I never liked the theme to [Science International, a.k.a. What Will They Think of Next](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuE_Jrohnbc).

It starts with evil synthesizer notes and then has some kind of schmaltzy fanfare on a Casio keyboard. What does that have to do with science?

Thank God this theme was rejected before the series got to air:

Ghastly!

^^^ Would be better than the Barenaked Ladies track, which is what I came in here to complain about.

Sounded like a snippet from that Thomas Dolby song.

_She **BLIND** -ed my with **SCI** -ence!_  
I’m a whistler, but that doesn’t mean I’m crazy about the [Andy Griffith Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvSXdO7SDCE) theme.
