To match RDM's description of what the music's source is, the article is not named after the song title to avoid direct association with the "Earthly" version. RDM notes this song was, through some mystical source, created by someone on the Colonies. Until someone actually uses the song title in an episode, it's best to do that. A redirect with the song title points to here. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:13, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

: Maybe it's time to reconsider this, since the finale explicitly tied Anders' and Slick's songs to the real-world version. -- [[User:David cgc|David cgc]] 22:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)




Line 37: Line 36:
According to the [[podcast:Revelations|Revelations podcast]], the rhythm of the Colonial emergency locator beacon signal detected by [[Starbuck's Viper]] matched the tune of the Music. The Final Four first started hearing the music soon before Starbuck arrived in her Viper, and when the Four started hearing the Music in Revelations they were drawn towards the Viper. I suspect that the Viper is broadcasting or relaying a signal which causes the Music to be heard, is there enough evidence to warrent including this theory in the article? -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 03:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

==Copyvio concern==
On the main Wikipedia, posting of copyrighted lyrics as has been done here is forbidden and such material is supposed to be taken down on sight. I don't know if the Battlestar Wiki works by different rules, but I'm uncomfortable having the lyrics to the song posted here, since they are copyright. Discussion of any changes made in the BSG context are fine, but especially now that the "real world" version of the song has become part of the canon via Daybreak, this might be asking for trouble. I'll defer to an admin or more experienced Battlestar Wiki editor on this. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 13:48, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
==Weezer==
Has anyone noticed that the final four theme is a (possibly inadvertent) lift from Weezer's "Beverly Hills"? In particular, interval sequence
*Descending minor second
*Descending major third
*Ascending perfect fourth
*Descending minor second
*Descending major third
Shows up with the lyrics "Living in Beverly". There it's A#, A, F, A#, A, F. In the final five theme it's A, G#, E, A, G#, E (a half step flatter). Is this worth mentioning?

:If I were a copyright attorney, I would. Could it be more coincidental, or an homage of some kind to the song, or allusion? --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
::I think that it's probably an accidental lift, if he was familiar with the song at all. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 06:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
