Themes Like Old Times

One of my complaints about Battlestar Galactica is I've never liked its new-agey theme. They're trying too hard to be different.

Imagine how cool the show would be if it started like this:

The first show had a great theme, but I think it was plagiarized.

Listen to this (especially 2:11-2:20),

and then this (especially 1:00-1:13). There are extra notes added but the basic themes are the same, to my ears.

Of course, as a Yes fan, I always expect "Firebird Suite" to be followed by "Siberian Khatru"....

I heard that they borrowed part of the original theme as the calling music for the final five cylons.

Funny!

The lyrics are Sanskrit. Here is the text and translation and an audio recording of it, so you can read along with the singing.
