>> >The song "God" could be made the theme song for "The
>> >Demon Haunted World".

>"Give Me Some Truth" is an even better one. It's like a Baloney Detection Kit
>in miniature. Here are a couple of lines:
> "I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight short-sighted
>narrow minded hypocritics, all I want is the truth."
>"I've had enough of reading things by neurotic psychotic pigheaded
>politicians, all I want is the truth now".
>"No sure head yellow-bellied son a tricky-dicky is gonna mother hubbard
>soft soap me with just a pocket full a hope."
>"I've had enough of watching scenes with schizophrenic egocentric
>paranoid prima donnas, all I want is the truth".

>BTW. Ann Druyan tried to include Beatle music on the Interstellar Disc
>on Board Voyager and all four Beatles were delighted at this, but Northern
>Songs LTD.wanted to be paid royalties, imagine that!
> Here is the Ann Druyan real audio.

>> HAHA! Actually, I must admit a terrible chauvanism towards Vangelis where
>> Sagan's "theme" is concerned. Blame it on COSMOS, whose opening sequence to
>> the tune of Vangelis' "Heaven and Hell, Part One" will forever take my
>> breath away. =^)

>For years I watched Cosmos without even knowing it was Vangelis music.
>But I did find it totally mesmerizing and haunting. As C.S says at the start
>of Cosmos "there is a catch in the voice a tingle in the spine" and that's
the
>way I feel when I hear that music.
