    Any Star Trek fans that wander in here…if the theme had been an instrumental version, perhaps even orchestraed up, would you have been fine with it? A reminder that TOS had lyrics as well, mainly as a copyright thing to profit, but they exist. And they are far worse than Enterprise’s lyrics.

        The lyrics just made it a shock. I would have made a tweet like that back in the day, and have since come around on it entirely

          Probably because they made it even worse for the following seasons which made the original “not so bad.” Kind of like how people view George W Bush in a more positive light now post-Trump.

          Conversely, the only thing that got me through all of Enterprise was the invention of the Skip Intro button

            I didn’t even have TiVo when it aired, so there was no skipping for me. It’s been a long road.

        Yeah, like that one better. The french horns remind me of James Horner RIP. A french horn is the signature sound for a starship in my opinion.

        Waltzes are the worst.

      Tell us, what were the lyrics to the original Star Trek theme?

          So, there actually weren’t any in the show’s theme.

            Playing semantics. If you want your head canon to be there never were lyrics at all, that’s perfectly justifiable, as they were created for money and never aired. They still exist though.

              The point is that there were no lyrics to the theme for the actual show. It doesn’t matter that lyrics might have been written for it. This discrepancy is quite relevant because we’re also discussing if the theme for Enterprise would have sucked less if the theme was the same, but only instrumental.

      The song was a banger, and it really warmed on me. When they changed it to an instrumental it sounded really stupid
