#37 "FLASH GORDON THEME"
QUEEN, 1980

OK, so the movie sucks major ass, but nobody can deny that the beginning of the title song by Queen is beyond amazing.  With a pulsating "dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum" getting louder, until Freddie shouts, "FLASH!....AhhhhhhHHHHHHHH....Savior of The Universe!" followed by Brian May's wailing guitar, it's nothing short of incredible.  It's such a great piece that Public Enemy sampled it in "Terminator X to the Edge of Panic."
