Where was the music from that they played near the end where all the supervillians showed up to help rebuild the Cacoon? I know I've heard it before in some movie and it's driving me nuts! I'm thinking one of the Conan movies maybe, but I'm sure it's one of those themes that's been used a few things.

So Charlene wasn't a member of the Guild when she number 2â€™d for Truckules?

They mentioned the theme in the bumper right before the episode aired, it's the Jupiter movement from Holst's Planets.

I seriously can't wait for the O.S.I./G.I. JOE flashback episode. I can't believe Doc and Jackson went there, oh but they did...they did.

Thanks. I'll have to do some digging to see what movies this has been used in. If it wasn't in one of the Conan movies, then it was something that sounded like this.

Yeah. That O.S.I. cartoon is what probably what enticed Billy Quizboy to sign up with them.

Please do not move while we calibrate....the Nozzle.

Just taking a stab here, but I'm thinking it is an ode to Basil Poledouris' score on Conan the Barbarian. It sounds like generic movie music fare. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gur7kJythgM&feature=user

Whoops, somehow missed this and duplicated it below. My bad. I guess we were on the same page here.

Yes. This was the song I was remembering, and it does sound "like" the song they used in Shadowman 9, but it is not the same song. I think Badass Robot is correct about it being the Jupiter Movement which also means they probably didn't have to pay anything to use it as it's been around so long. 24 was humming Mars Volta when changing into his Henchman outfit at the opening of Hate Floats (still the funniest scene aver for me!), so this aould follow suite. Thanks all for the help.

Sorry man, that wasn't Mars Volta. It was Mars, Bringer of War. There's a strong distinction here as Mars Volta is the name of a current, touring progressive jamband...and Mars, Bringer of War is a selection from an extremely famous classical suite!
