"SHE HAS THE POWER!!" Sama-Ra, Mistress Of The Cello

[@Wortheins]

if she does the She-Ra Theme(Real She-Ra not the new garbage), she would be "Princess of Cellos"

[@EllaBananas]

@@Wortheins aside from the theme I fuckin loved the new she-ra. Course I'm 21 years old and massively gay and love shows with a happy ending. Also I've never seen the original so I can't be annoyed that it isn't what I'm already familiar with.

If SheRa is the Princess of Power then she's the Mistress of Music.

[@BentKent]

In today's story, Samara showed us the importance of artistic expression through her skills with her Cello. It's important for us to show our individuality because the world would be awfully boring if we were all the same. Until next time!

Bonus points if we get a version with Samara raising her bow at the end and yelling “I HAVE THE POWER!!!”

[@StevenMcFlyJunior]

Too cheesy for such class. Though I was waiting on baited breath to hear a recorded clip of Melendy Britt saying it as she raised her bow. (PUN INTENDED: BOW)

[@ThePathStrider]

Maybe she can do that for the She-Ra theme. "For the Honour of Grayskull, I AM SAMA-RA!"

[@Headroom23]

@@StevenMcFlyJunior Just to clear something up, Prince Adam (He-Man) would say, " I HAVE THE POWER!" while Princess Adora (She-ra) would say, "I AM SHE-RA!"

[@svenschellen4204]

the 80's are back... finally :))

[@LukeMaynard]

I had no idea how much I needed this. The driving beat is one of the things that made the original so perfect, and nobody else--not even the metal covers with huge drummers--get the driving rhythm just right. People think of this as an ideal string cover because of about two string flourishes in the original. But really, the way you catch the syncopation here, and the driving bass line, is what makes this such a successful straight ahead cover.

[@camelliarains8866]

Is it scary how well this song lends itself to classical instruments?

[@doctorpicardnononono7469]

no.

[@bellsofhell]

True. It's because of the underlying melody of the song.

Tears fall down by themselves - tears of long-gone, elated childhood

[@gdeangelkick]

"Hello, I'm Adam, prince of Eternia, and this is my trusty companion Cringer..." Shows were just put together so much better when show runners knew they were building a brand with staying power and not a flash-in-the-pan fad. Which is why none of the reboots, no matter how much better the animation / CGI gets, will even get a foot-note in the pantheon of influential TV.

[@AClRCLEOFLlGHT]

Even the theme songs in the 80's were masterpieces. God I miss that decade.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I never realised that the MOTU theme was so stirring.

[@contrabardus]

The funny thing is, it wasn't even written for the show itself. It was originally created for a canceled sci-fi project and was repurposed for MotU.

[@johnnyonline]

@@contrabardus really? It actually does sound like a sci-fi theme. What's the source of this tidbit of trivia? I'd like to learn more!

[@contrabardus]

@@johnnyonline I've looked but can't source it online. It was mentioned in an interview with Levy and Saban about the show. Those are the two guys who are credited with writing the theme. [Yes, *that* Saban.] It was never officially attached to anything but MotU, as the canceled project never made it past pre-production stages.

[@devilgem]

MOTU is chock full of underrated music!

[@marksarnov5051]

Actually it's the same theme from "REmington Steele" starring Pierce Brosnan, written by Henry Mancini.

[@PridewithKC]

SO awesome I had to watch it again! Samara, you RULE! Please do the SMURFS

[@caveatruinam]

Every time I watch a new one I'm like "Oh god this is the best one". Then I watch the next one. Grats on being the most amazing thing in my day.

[@GamerFromJump]

80s theme music was compositionally deeper than we thought!

[@mad555555]

Why does it always seem like the Samara in the top left corner is always doing more work than the rest of them? She needs to tell the rest of them to pick up the slack or they're not going to be on the show anymore. You can tell the Samara in the top left corner is the Justin Timberlake of this group.

[@RoddThunderheart]

I don't know... Top right Samara might have something to say about that...

@@RoddThunderheart Top Right Samara is Best Samara!

@@RoddThunderheart Top right Samara looks like she's just trying to copy top-left Samara. She keeps looking over at top left Samara, seeing what she's doing and then trying to replicate it. Poorly I might add. Same facial expressions. Same clothing. I mean, can she make it anymore obvious who is the leader of the Samaras...

[@MakeitSo23]

Brings back memories... She has the power...

[@contrabardus]

For such an iconic theme, the oddest thing about it is that it wasn't actually written for the show. The MotU theme was actually written for a canceled animated sci-fi cartoon and repurposed for He-Man.

[@williamstoutenburgh2116]

True story, I was fishing in the middle of nowhere in the woods in a small stream. All of the sudden the most bizarre thing floated down the stream. A He-Man action figure !!! My friend was further down stream, and I made sure it got to him. We laughed and laughed!
