Just think folks, this is something born out of nothing. Someone's great imagination and musical genius come to light. Another great one that comes to mind is the original Hawaii 5-0 theme. Simply awesome. These opening songs truly got you pumped up to watch the show, and in my opinion was at least part of the reason for the show's success.
