On pumpin' basslines

00:38 pajh: Help.
00:41 pajh: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/mediaplayer/consoles/topgear/bb_rm_console.shtml?redirect=console.shtml&lang=en&nbram=1&bbram=1&tab=1&bbcws=1 , go to `Stunts' then `747 vs Cars'.
00:41 pajh: What is the movie soundtrack they are borrowing?
00:49 pajh: I keep thinking it's Star Trek Nemesis, but I always think that, and it's partly because one of the reasons I like Nemesis (I do actually have reasons, I'm not completely crazy, and one of these days I'll get around to writing about them) is that parts of their soundtrack are basically the concentrated quintessence of all good movie soundtracks ever.
00:50 pajh: Parts.
01:01 pajh: I've found the section on the Nemesis soundtrack that is the first inversion of the music on the Top Gear segment. This is frustrating.
01:07 pajh: Found the bit in Nemesis that is directly ripping it off. But it's not it. What movie was that?
01:09 pajh: Everything on this soundtrack appears to be the first or second inversion of this apparently far superior ur-movie. Which is it?
01:38 scotm: Apologies - I do not have realplayer installed.
01:41 pajh: Curses and fie.
01:43 pajh: it goes: bah bah baaah, bah bah.
01:43 pajh: Dum dum dum DUM dum dum dum dum DUM dum dum DUM dum dum.
01:44 pajh: Bah bah baaaah, bah bah /baw/.
01:44 scotm: The first thing that pops into my head is the Isengard theme from The Fellowship of the Ring.
01:44 pajh: Yes!
01:44 scotm: But that's purely from "Bah bah baaaah, bah bah /baw/."
01:45 pajh: You are a fucking genius.
01:46 scotm: I am correct?
01:46 pajh: Even I have trouble believing that.

I would have got it eventually, by the way. And it has been six years since I've seen it.
