How come no one is voting for this? I absolutely LOVED it! My son did too. I'm fresh out of promotes at the moment too.

Cento, you can vote for your own sift you know.

Vote people!

Hah, for some reason, voting for myself never occurred to me. Thanks for the heads up!

(Thanks to eric3579 for giving me the same tip as well.)

Superman Theme blew the others out of the water.

I was at a Symphony here in Aarhus, where they played a bunch of movie themes, where 4 of them were John Williams.. Superman blew everything out of the water there too. Jurrasic park is fantastic too.

Very strange, but very well done. I wonder if he actually did all the voices or just lip-sync'd it.

John Williams is SO the man.

He has created more iconic themes than you can point several sharp sticks at (He had already had an extensive career before here, but let's just stick with themes most will know):
Jaws
Star Wars (All 6)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Superman
Raiders of the Lost Ark (All 4)
ET
Empire of the Sun
Hook (Hey, I love the film, don't care what you think... nerr)
Jurassic Park
Schindlers List
Harry Potter (All of them)

And the fact the many of them have multiple themes and songs that you will instantly recognize just shows how brilliant he is as a composer.

edit: In fact, it inspired me to go and look for youtube tributes with clips from the actual scores. Here's a good collection I found.

Love Williams' movie themes. Who wouldn't? I want this in the top 15. Its fun to see a probie get in the top 15 out the gate.

It was actually made by the A Capella Comedy group Moosebutter, found here. The guy you see, Corey Vidal, is just lip-syncing, but with the complete blessing of Moosebutter - they like the attention it gives them and it's in line with the kind of comedy they do.

Nevertheless, it's awesome. John Williams is awesome! I mean, upvote!

Funny that the Star Wars theme doesn't appear.

Williams is the only person not culpable in the quality of the prequel trilogy.

Ah, I saw that Corey Vidal thanked them for their help, but assumed that Corey still did the recording. Oh well, I still loved it! But I will update the original description.
