as the topic says. I'd like to know the name of the music + composer of the AJ Show tune where the speaker says:
"deep behind enemy lines from his Texas command center..."
It sounds like a War Propaganda tune of movie theme. Smiley

What part does that play at? The only consistent music I can think of plays at the beginning of each hour, and that's The Imperial March from Star wars.

with only 30 sec left... There's nothing more effective at saving a losing round in a DJ battle than surprising the crowd with a little Star Wars action.

Music by: John Williams - Imperial March (Star Wars) 


The music of Star Wars consists of the scores written for all six Star Wars films by composer John Williams between 1977 and 1983 for the Original Trilogy, and 1999 and 2005 for the Prequel Trilogy. More broadly, it refers to any music that is used to depict the larger Star Wars Universe, which would include music for Star Wars video games, books and other media. John Williams' scores for the double trilogy count among the most widely-known and popular contributions to modern film music.

The scores utilize an eclectic variety of musical styles, many culled from the Late Romantic idiom of Richard Strauss and his contemporaries that itself was incorporated into the Golden Age Hollywood scores of Erich Korngold and Max Steiner. While several obvious nods to Holst, Walton and Stravinsky exist in the score to Episode IV, Williams relied less and less on classical references in the latter five scores, incorporating more strains of modernist orchestral writing with each progressive score. The reasons for Williams' tapping of a familiar Romantic idiom are known to involve Lucas' desire to ground the otherwise strange and fantastic setting in well-known, audience-accessible music. Williams tapped into the audience-accessibility in the first lines of the original theme song by using a familiar song from a popular Oscar winning movie soundtrack from a few years before. Williams has widely maintained that his original theme song is the theme song from "Born Free" played in reverse. He used this as a "subliminal hook" to capture his audience. Indeed, Lucas maintains much of the trilogy's success relies not on advanced visual effects, but on the simple, direct emotional appeal of its plot, characters and, importantly, music.

Star Wars is often credited as heralding the beginning of a revival of grand symphonic scores in the late 1970s. While to ascribe this feat single-handedly to Williams is premature, the popularity and impact of the scores was a major contribution. One technique in particular has had a particular influence: Williams's revival of a technique called "leitmotif", which is most famously associated with the operas of Wagner and, in film scores, with Steiner. A leitmotif is a phrase or melodic cell that signifies a character, place, plot element, mood, idea, relationship or other specific part of the film. It is commonly used in modern film scoring, as a device to mentally anchor certain parts of a film to the soundtrack. Of chief importance for a leitmotif is that it must be strong enough for a listener to latch onto while being flexible enough to undergo variation and development.

First appearance in Episode V:
Audio sample composed by John Williams:
"The Imperial March" (1980)

The Imperial March or "Darth Vader's Theme" (Episodes I, II, III, V and VI). Sample. The theme that represents the totalitarian Galactic Empire as a whole, and Darth Vader specifically. More than other Star Wars themes, the March has attained an iconic status in the Western consciousness as a general "evil theme", and as such is used to portray power at public events, sometimes seriously, sometimes with tongue in cheek (as in sporting events). Musical features include relentless martial rhythm and dark, non-diatonic harmonic support. In the Original Trilogy, The Imperial March also represents all that is the Empire; therefore, it is nearly equivalent to a galactic anthem. Williams retrograded the theme for the prequel trilogy, subtly embedding it in Anakin's innocent theme and the evolution of the Republic (represented by the clone troopers) into the Empire. It is heard with progressive prominence through Episodes II and III, signaling critical points in Anakin's downward spiral to the Dark side. In the March's final rendition, accompanying Vader's death in Episode VI, Williams cleverly reverses the affect of the theme, by means of reduced orchestration and volume. It ends with a clever cadence as Vader expires.

Wow that's a nice list! But it's not the music I was looking for.

The piece I mean has a voice over which goes like this:
"From his central Texas command center, deep behind enemy lines the information war continues, it's Alex Jones and the GCN radio network"

Here's a download link, I cut it from the radio show.

(need to scroll down, enter 4 numbers and click download)
Sounds like some classical (russian?) propaganda music.

Nice find on the Buckingham Palace thing.  Cheesy *saves*

There's a good chance it could be one of Starship Troopers tracks aswell, but I remember the jingle for one of them and it definitely doesn't include the dialogue he mentioned (plus I don't remember the track name anyway). Try this one...

How do you do the thumbnail things? Do you just change the pixel width or something?
Sane-Here is the code: get rid of the spaces, just "copy image address" on the thumbnails in YouTube, but the below code will correlate to YouTube thumbnails (substitute XXXXXXXX with the string after "=" in a YouTube adress, Google Video is more tricky): http://img.youtube.com/vi/XXXXXXXXX/default.jpg
