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)
