It was so similar I always assumed they still had to pay for rights to the original song
Scene from Futurama:
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.
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.
