2001: A Space Odyssey Theme & Blue Danube By Johann Strauss

Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss

[@ITILII]

Great movie theme, great movie, directed by the greatest director of all - Stanley Kubrick

[@ITILII]

Best movie opening theme, and good enough for Elvis to use as introductory music, now THAT'S music !!!

[@DatDarnSpaceCat]

one word. Eargasm.. and the quality.. so amazing

[@serialkiller1990]

The theme of the Odyssey is the opening of a symphonic poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra", which was composed by Richard Strauss. They were not related.

[@tmrmilano]

serialkiller1990 really!! what a bunch of idiots!

[@DingusOfTheNorth]

To Be The Man, WOOOOOOO, You Gotta Beat the Man.

[@aruiz90]

Man the first time I saw this and the credits started rolling, holy shit was I floored.

[@stephensmiley5253]

Possible one of the best theme songs of all cinema!

[@Hadleton]

@boscoruby That was quite mature of you :) I'm sorry if my response was a bit aggressive, i just can't stand it when people post comments like that, especially if they're wrong. But it's very good to hear that from you, and my respect for you has gone up. Thanks :)

[@MrBrown36706]

My pleasure

[@fistopain679]

this was played when i was born

[@boscoruby]

@Hadleton I know who wrote the Blue Danube, but for years I thought "Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss was from a Beethoven symphony. My apologies to the person who posted this vid for the foolish insult, and thanks to you for getting me to look up the authorship of the music.

[@TheNovelty8theory]

I think in many of kubricks movies, from dr strangelove onwards he was giving the audience a message about secret society/illuminati world influence. A great cryptic movie maker, one of the greatest!

44 Years of going through space and we still haven't found a giant floating fetus.

[@ITILII]

I'm afraid I can't let you dislike this, Dave :-)

[@GeoStreber]

best movie ever

[@johngoerger8996]

Just as the 1st section music ends & the second piece of music starts up; we see the Starship U. S. S. ENTERPRISE float across the screen..

[@APizzle90]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@TomSka]

This song forced me to imagine two ducks slowly floating towards each-other and then having sex. I'm going to sue.

[@MrBrown36706]

Indeed

[@spirton8]

Composer Richard Strauss

[@SnakeMan10583]

EPIC!

[@noopklu]

Yes

[@spritewars]

Epic.

[@lolcatsaregay]

What a coincidence that the composers for both these scores have the last name Strauss

[@thejedimaster12345]

Is that ode to joy I hear?

[@tafu89]

Good quality

This should be the anthem of humanity

[@Barluke]

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[@pspboy7]

2001 is the best movie for film music.

[@rosserm11]

I've been Nostalgia Critic. I remember iiiiiiiiiiiiit, so youuuuuuuu dont haaaaaaaaaaave toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

But have we found a large unidentifiable black slab? Well...not really... :)

[@EagerSnake]

Hahahaha, you made my day hahaha...

[@train1love]

Enjoy this I do yess hmmm!

[@MartinLoronzo]

Weren't both of the from Richard S.?

[@bobfreeze]

this should be our national anthem

[@lukeparsons8]

Now that's a drum

[@Hadleton]

@boscoruby Did you bother researching the facts before you posted? I did, and it WAS Johann Strauss who wrote the blue danube. Don't be ignorant next time you post a comment intending to insult someone, or you may find you'll insult your own intelligence.

[@rogermwilcox]

So why is this video called "Theme from 2001 and Blue Danube" instead of "Also Sprach Zarathustra and Blue Danube"?

[@bobfreeze]

every time this song is played an angel loses its virginity

[@stephensmiley5253]

This should be like the UN national anthem or something it is that good!

[@marleysalemmango88]

Care to explain further what you mean?

[@liketheuniverse11]

@TomSka You almost killed me...lol...too funny...I'm going to sue!!! ;)

[@yomamasapeach]

I love 2001. In 2061, Dave turns Hal and Haywood Floyd into star children. So now if they make 3001 and 2061 you'll see Hal as a fetus!!!

[@Siege1k]

@ultimaexedos wow hun this song was done in what 1970's a dime then is a dollar now, so an artist wanting a bit of payback from days of old isn't obsucre or wrong if you like their work. Its kinda like the old timers of football that had no players association or pension funds when they get hurt .. sure some get millions alot are left broken same with artists that did classic movies some make a quick buck some do not .... if you like put a dollar on it

[@soccom8341576]

@ultimaexedos Just repost it.

[@Zyphyr104]

International anthem*

[@ACDC101195]

@noemenoem123 Homer Simpson LOL

[@danielhulanmakiokej]

@TomSka hahaha

[@thelostcontacts]

ummmm.... Also Sprach Zarathustra.

[@chitusaxena]

[@JustinBieberisGOD1]
