It was also the opening theme song to an old scifi show from decades ago.
Oh Woah, one of these?
Two lines of the song are sung by the inmate Murphy in the 1992 film Alien 3 immediately prior to his death. Brief snippets are played in “The Time Is Now”, the second-season finale of the TV show Millennium, which depicts an apocalyptic event. The song was rewritten and used as the introductory theme for the 2000 TV series Cleopatra 2525. In 2010, it was parodied as “In the Year 252525” in the seventh episode of Futurama’s sixth season, “The Late Philip J. Fry”, as Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender travel forwards through time to find a period in which the backwards time machine has been invented.[18] The song acts as an aesthetic theme to the film Gentlemen Broncos.[19] The BBC Radio series 2525, a sketch show set in the year 2525, featured a cover of the song with its first lyric as its introductory theme.
Cleopatra 2525 is the one I’m talking about. I always feel like that show is older than it actually is.
2000 was indeed decades ago
That it was.
Bahahaha I got a friend to watch the first few episodes of that not too long ago, specifically because of the song. I hadn’t seen it since it was on late night tv.
It’s so much worse than I remember, like they were trying to shoot a porn but forgot the actual sex part.
You should watch more scifi, it’s all like this, especially the stuff from the 80s through 2k.
Sci-fi/fantasy is basically all I watch :)
Not the really old stuff; 90s-today mostly. That one just slipped through my memory cracks for a long long time, and my memories were far fonder than it deserved.
Then I assume you’ve done the rounds on Stargate and Farscape?
Of course, I have taste ;)
Plus lost in space (old and new), Star Trek, red dwarf, quantum leap, Babylon 5, sliders, Lexx, millennium, neverwhere…
I have 30tb of stuff on my Plex, mostly sci-fi/fantasy. And I’ve watched the majority of it because I have no life :)
The stuff on my Plex that doesn’t fit my genres wasn’t downloaded for me. But there isn’t much of that overall, maybe 500gb.
They knew what they were doing on that show. The main woman in it has been scantily clad in a ton of stuff before and since that show.
So I’m faceblind, but really good with voices.
And she might be in other stuff, but I’ve not found it. I did find Lori petty in an episode of Star Trek, can’t even see her face for most of it.
Maybe because I’m not really into the “might as well be porn” genre of stuff (watched xena, Hercules, beast master, andromeda, and cleopatra 2525 as late night shit when I was a pre-teen, but I’m asexual and not into horny and never have been so I was into the storyline bad as it was), and thus unlikely to encounter her.
In the year 1,000,000 and a 1/2, humankind was enslaved by giraffes
Man must pay for all his misdeeds. When the treetops are stripped of their leaves whoaaaa ohhhhh
Scene from Futurama:
It was so similar I always assumed they still had to pay for rights to the original song
