i figured BY NOW, SOMEONE would have come out with a cover of the 80's theme. even a mishmash or sunbow and dic, or used some samples or SOMETHING. but nope.
any one else expected this? i'm actually surprised it hasn't happened, even a BAD cover, like some of the transformers ones. there just isn't anything. |

yeah, I'm surprised. I liked in Spiderman how they put the old tv show theme song in the credits. I would have liked to see that in the ROC, or maybe something like the Mission Impossible remix/update that they used for the movie.

Thank god it hasn't happened yet. It's so cliche now and most of 'em are just horrible.
That Cheap Trick (and I like Cheap Trick) one of Transformers... ugh...

I guess Stan Bush was too busy singing about the Autobots to do one, lol.

I think the band Minibosses have covered it (I have a version that gives them credit, but I'm not sure if it is really them). It's out there somewhere, or if you have a really hard time finding it, PM me.

Also, I think most of the Minibosses material is out there free of charge with their permission. (one of their albums is available for free on their web site. Normally they just do old Nintendo game music)

That Minibosses cover is hilarious.
One reason, I suppose, that the original GI Joe theme hasn't received the amount of cover interest that the Transformers theme has despite being very well-known is that it's not very "pop" sounding. It basically starts off like a slightly jazzed-up but still traditional-sounding military march (appropriately enough) and the succeeding chord progression doesn't lend itself to easy pop music reinterpretation (try humming the main introductory melody and you'll get an idea of what I mean). Still, that shouldn't make it any harder for a particularly nostalgic DJ from using select samples (although taken outside of the context of the unique-sounding original theme song, the samples may no longer be easily identifiable as portions of the GI Joe theme music). |
