I sometimes wonder would I love this song so much if the show it adorns

The outro music to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is darn good too. And maybe a close second behind Jayce is the theme to Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

Okay, this entire thread has been a nostalgia binge.
To the many great ones posted here, I would add:

This, which was used for “What the papers say”, a round up of what the press had been up to.

I grew up to be a scientist, and I still occasionally use the 3-2-1 Contact theme to pick myself up and remind myself that I’ve wanted to do this a for a looooooooooong time.
