Probably the opposite is the Karen O song from that Spike Jonze commercial that was so in-demand that they ended up putting it on iTunes. People were just watching it for free on Youtube anyway.
Thanks, Internet.
Sure does.
Every song ever recorded without the backing of a record label. You’re lucky to get a FEW thousand YouTube views for a song like that. There is so much music out there that hardly anybody will ever hear, it’ll make your head reel.
Alex North, who did the music for Stanley Kubrick’s Spartacus, also did the music for Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick liked the “placeholder” classical music he’d put over the film while cutting it better than North’s original score, so he went with that, and the rest is movie history.
Except that North’s original score for 2001 has been re-recorded, at least twice. I finally got a copy a few months ago. It’s good, but I’ve been spoiled by the original score. There’s no way North’s intro fanfare can live up to Also Sprach Zarathustra.
